Five Mood-Boosting Perfumes To Banish The January Blues

By Victoria Hall

We all start the new year with the best intentions to eat, sleep and feel better. The cold, dark January days can make it tricky to kick start a wellness routine. This year, we're taking a soft reset approach rather than trying to dramatically overhaul our routine. Fragrance is key to this. It’s no secret that scent has the power to not just transport you, but to help boost your mood. Citrus scents are found to be incredibly uplifting and energising, while lavender is renowned for easing stress and anxiety.

These are just two examples and in a world with endless fragrance notes, there are plenty more can help connect with you on a personal level when you’re in need of a boost. We’ve rounded up some of the mood-boosting fragrances that we're reaching for at this time of year. How many have you tried?
