Unconsciously, scents affect our mood and behaviour. Bad scents definitely won’t put someone in a good mood! Imagine waking up to a foul smell. That’d be awful.

Have you heard of room fragrance or room scents? They often come in an oil form which you can spray your room with or be placed in the humidifier. The smells are normally floral or woody infused such as lavender, lemon grass or sandalwood. It is scientifically proven to be able to calm our nerves and help us to relax. Research has shown that people sleep faster and better when the room has room serum compared to a “normal” smelling room. This is why beauty spas always has their preferred scents to make the guests feels relax.

Perfumes are corelated with memories. Certain scents bring us back to those good memories we had in the past. For example, the smell of your favourite apple pie freshly baked your mom or the smell of the garden that reminds you of spending time walking with your loved ones. These “triggered” memories brings us at peace. However, you may not want to have pies baked everyday in your kitchen or you may not even have time to go to garden every day. Good thing, you can create your own scents at Jetaime Perfumery to smell like the good old memories. They have a wide range of orchids’ scent, especially native orchids of Singapore!
