Fragrances are more than just pretty scents. They have a profound impact on our mood and can trigger memories with just one sniff. In fact, just the thought of a fragrance can help improve your mood, create happy thoughts and inspire.
So how do you choose the perfect scent? Two of the top favourite smells are vanilla and coconut…so let’s start there.
A powerful antidepressant:
Vanilla-flavoured ice cream may get a bad rap as being the plain one – vanilla scented body products are anything but! It’s the ultimate smell of decadence and probably the most popular scent in the confection scented body product trend, aptly named ‘foodie beauty.’ It is said to have a strong calming effect and improves our happiness levels. Studies have shown that vanillin, the active compound in vanilla, is also a powerful antidepressant.
Present idea: Clere’s Vanilla Honey Cream, enriched with tissue oil and pure glycerine, helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks, according to 8 out of 10 women, and moisturises dry and dehydrated skin.
The scent of holidays:
One whiff transports you to a tropical island, pina coladas and lazy days on the beach: coconut. This inviting fragrance balances warmth, sweetness, and woody notes. The rich, nutty scent will add happiness to your day while making you feel relaxed.
Present idea: Clere’s Tropical Coconut and Cocoa Butter crèmes are enriched with pure glycerine, combined with natural moisturizers and Vitamins E & A. The triple glycerine enriched Cocoa Butter lotion offers triple the moisturisation and the Tropical Coconut lotion is enriched with tissue oil and pure glycerine.
The Clere range of crèmes and lotions is available at all leading retailers.
