Which scent can take you back to your childhood? Maybe it’s the smell of freshly baked gingerbread that your grandma just came out of the oven and is still steaming? Or the scent of a ripe watermelon bought on the hottest summer day on the market. Or the smell of thin cardboard and fireworks gunpowder that is still associated with the New Year. Probably each of us has wondered: How can just one scent evoke such lasting associations and memories?
The truth is, the sense of smell is the most receptive and fastest of the five human senses. It is also directly related to the human brain’s limbic system, which controls emotions, motivation, and memory. This is why scent molecules affect our psyche, mood and behavior so deeply. The right aroma can increase efficiency and concentration, help assimilate information, cause excitement or, conversely, calm and relax. Now for many, the space of the house has become an office, a gym, and a quiet island. This is where we spend most of the day. Therefore, it is very important to fill it and surround yourself with fragrances that positively affect the general condition of the body.
Which scent will create the right atmosphere?
Thanks to the popularity of aromatherapy, even a special science appeared – aromapsychology. Examines the effect of natural scents on the human psyche. The fact is that compositions from a mixture of different essential oils can help achieve a specific goal. For example, lavender has long been the “queen of tranquility”, and citrus fruits are associated with good spirits and joy. In order for everyone to find the right scent, the Purple Dream project has created a collection of 11 Unforgettable Memories. Each of the scents has one or two main notes surrounded by a less obvious chord. It is no coincidence that they are all named after a feeling or memory (for example, “Love” or “Journey”), because it is the aromas that can bring them back to memory.

How to fill the house with aroma?
There are different ways to bring fragrance into your home. In one form it will be more saturated, full and enduring, and in the other it will be transparent, almost weightless and thin.
aroma candles
Aroma candles are suitable for the bedroom and kitchen area. They last longer and are softer than aroma lamps, but create a richer aroma than diffusers.
In the collection of the brand there are two types of candles – openwork and molded glass. The first is more like a work of art made of crystal. In addition, they have a lid, in which the aroma remains saturated for a longer time and does not disappear even when the candle is not lit. Free cut glass making is the oldest way of working with glass. The master manually blows into the mold immediately after melting. Therefore, the color and pattern of the product is always unique.
In its production, the brand uses coconut wax – the best for making candles. It perfectly absorbs and retains aromas, melts evenly and easily even with a slight increase in temperature (this means the candle will last a long time), and more importantly, it can be easily washed from any surface.
aroma diffusers
Diffusers fill the space with an almost imperceptible, subtle aroma, so it is best to place them in the bathroom, hallway or office. The smell will be unobtrusive, but pleasant.
At the base of the diffuser is a fragrant liquid that rises between the rods, evaporates and envelops the space. There are several types of diffusers – oil, alcohol and non-alcoholic. The latter is considered the most natural – they do not have their own fragrance, so we can feel the pure aroma originally created by the perfumer. Plus, they last twice as long as alcohol.
The rods in the diffusers are made of microfiber. This material allows them to most evenly absorb essential oils and spread the aroma throughout the apartment. The sticks absorb the aroma mixture and diffuse the fragrance into the air, allowing you to experience the maximum benefit from the effect of essential oils.
aroma lamps
The aroma lamp creates the most intense scent, so it is the place where aromatherapy sessions are held most often. It is more suitable for special occasions rather than regular use.
A classic aroma lamp is a special container with two invariable features: a recess for oil at the top and a place for a small candle at the bottom. Water is poured into the recess, a few drops of essential oil are added to it. A burning candle is placed in the so-called cave of the aroma lamp, which heats a mixture of water and oil. When heated, it begins to evaporate and spreads the aroma throughout the room.
The brand uses natural materials in its manufacture, so aroma lamps are made of handmade clay. By the way, they immediately come with a set of essential oils and make the perfect kit to try an aromatherapy session on your own.
