The Science of Scent: Functional Candles for Mind-Body Calm
Scent has always been emotional, but research shows it’s also neurological.
A 2024 study from the Journal of Behavioral Neuroscience found that warm autumnal scents like pumpkin, clove, cedar can reduce cortisol and help regulate mood through the limbic system, the brain’s emotional control center.
So that fall candle isn’t just cozy it’s chemistry in motion. Try Boy Smells “Woodphoria” or Salt & Stone’s “Saffron and cedar”, or any natural, essential-oil–based blend that fills your space with warmth and purpose. These sensory rituals anchor us, reminding the body to slow down.
