You know when you get a whiff of someone who smells ah-mazing and it instantly puts you in a better mood?
Come on — I know that’s not just me, guys! Even science is on my side with this, given it’s been scientifically proven that scent has a direct impact on your mood. But why should we rely on sweet-smelling strangers to lift our spirits? It’s 2017 — we can bring our own damn good vibes! How? By picking our signature scent based not only on which packaging we like (guilty!) but also by how it makes you feel. To help get you started, here are 7 of our favourite mood-boosting perfumes.
Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamon
Mimosa and cardamon is one of those weird combos that just work. The ethereal scent automatically transports us to sunny, spring days and puts an extra pep in our step.
