If you want to stay calm in stressful situations, or just love feeling at peace then your fragrance can play a role in all of this. In addition to relaxation and maybe some meditation, the scent that you apply to your body can have an impact. So, you need to choose carefully. Here are our top 5 calming scents that you should look for in a fragrance.
Jasmine
The essential oil from jasmine has a sweet nature that refreshes the nose without overwhelming it. Jasmine reduces stress and lifts the mood with its familiar and uplifting scent. It has also been linked to a boost in self-confidence – so it’s pretty powerful stuff!
Try FM World Pure Royal 710 and 713 for a fragrance that contains jasmine.
Chamomile
This plant looks a little like a daisy and has been used for centuries for its calming effect. You might recognise the ingredient from chamomile tea, but there are many different ways that you can use the calming nature of this plant. This is why it features on our list of The Top 5 Calming Scents To Have In Your Fragrance.
Lavender
This is the classic scent associated with calm, which is why it is included in many pillow sprays. Now, wearing a fragrance with lavender as an ingredient won’t send you to sleep when you should be awake. Rather it will help you remain calm when all around you are losing their head! Lavender also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which makes it an all-round super plant.

Geranium
Another ingredient that you can find in pillow sprays, geranium has been linked to soothed muscles and reduced stress. The smell is more floral than the others on this list, having a scent not too dissimilar to rose. Did you know that the Egyptians used geranium as an essential part of their beauty routine? That’s another reason for us to include this on our list of The Top 5 Calming Scents To Have In Your Fragrance.
Vanilla
You may not associate vanilla with calm – but the fact that it is such an uplifting scent makes it a great one to go for when you want to feel great. It is used often in home fragrances but wearing it on your skin can help the smell to radiate from your body heat and give that amazing smell all day.
