Scents to energise your morning routine

How you start your morning can set the tone for the whole day. Some mornings flow, others are slow… and that’s okay! Here are some ways you can use fragrance to give you a little boost to help you feel refreshed, uplifted, energised and ready to face the day ahead.

Scent and the Limbic System

Scent has a powerful connection to the brain, working through the limbic system (which is linked to memories and emotions). The right scent can help to spark your energy, boost your mood and give you a gentle nudge to step into the day with focus and positivity.

Best scents to energise your morning routine

Citrus Zest: like sunshine in a bottle, citrus scents like lemon, orange and grapefruit are firm favourites in morning rituals. They’re fresh, zingy and instantly uplifting to help you to shake off grogginess.

Bergamot: a citrus note with a sophisticated twist, its both uplifting and balancing but not as sharp as lemon and orange.

Peppermint: pep up with peppermint! Its cool, invigorating and known to stimulate the mind, boost alertness and clear away the morning fog.

Eucalyptus: it’s used in spas for a good reason… eucalyptus is both balancing and energising. The clean scent is refreshing and if you take a few deep breaths, it can help clear your heading, helping you to feel more awake.

Rosemary: a herbaceous scent that is linked to improved concentration and memory. Rosemary is a fresh and herbal scent that can be used for more than just cooking!

Ginger: this spicy and fiery scent warms you from the inside out. Ginger has a stimulating aroma that’s naturally invigorating to wake up the senses.

Coffee: for many of us, coffee is already part of our morning ritual, but beyond simply drinking it, coffee’s rich aroma itself is powerful. The scent of coffee is linked to increased alertness and mood, bringing a cosy, energising vibe.
