Floral scents are more than smells and aromas—it’s so much more than just pleasant aromas, they are a liquid form of calming, uplifting, and refreshing your mind and body. The floral essential oils have natural fragrance and therapeutic benefits which make you feel more balanced emotionally, reduce stress, and help you feel more emotionally happy throughout your day.
The Science Behind Floral Scents and Well-Being
Our sense of smell is directly related to the limbic system (the area of the brain which controls mood) so scents affect our mood and feelings. This part of the brain is interacted with by floral essential oils including lavender, rose, and jasmine to help support emotional health naturally. Even studies suggest that different floral scents can affect stress levels, by relaxing us, helping us concentrate, or even finding motivation when we need it.
Think about entering a room, and its air delivers a whisper of rose, or lavender to instantly change your humor. We can capture this effect with floral essential oils and bring this directly to our homes, our workspaces, and our self-care routines.

My Experience with Floral Essential Oils
Transformative has been my routine after incorporating floral HBNO essential oils. Lavender oil diffusing in the background while I’m working and a rose-scented room spray before sleep are something very soothing. Even, I’ve begun putting a jasmine and geranium essential oil blend on my wrists before meetings or stressful moments and it honestly makes me feel more grounded and uplifted.
Using lavender oil in the evenings is one of my favorites. I diffuse it for 1 hour before I go to sleep (they say to don’t sprinkle it on your sheets), the scent permeates my room so much that it’s almost impossible to be anything but relax and sleep soundly. But as I’ve aged, I’ve come to associate this scent with wind down, which is now a basic part of my nightly ritual.
