A Summer Mood Boost

This past Sunday marked the first day of Summer 2015! The second the weather heats up, people start smiling more and are generally more active. It’s amazing and almost like clockwork. From June to August our sense of smell is on hyper-drive: with blooming flowers, fresh fruit, and beachy cocktails everywhere.

"We're more outgoing, active, and energized in warmer weather, and when summery scents trigger those pleasant memories, we get an instant mood boost," says Pamela Dalton, Ph.D., a sensory psychologist in Philadelphia. And which aroma do we most associate with the Summer Season? Dalton says coconut, likely from years of slathering on sunscreen scented with the tropical fruit.

Who doesn’t love the amazing aromas of summer? With summery notes of citrus, sweet fruits and soft florals, your mouth and your nose will both be smiling. Here are our Top 5 Summer fragrances:
