🌿 The Science of Scent: How Amara Wells Products Support Your Mood and Wellbeing

By Amara Wells | Luxury Home Fragrance & Wellness

✨ Introduction: A Ritual of Wellness

At Amara Wells, we believe wellbeing begins with the senses. Each room mist, mini candle, and wax melt in our collection is infused with thoughtfully chosen essential oils — not just for their scent, but for the way they make you feel.

In this article, we’ll explore the powerful connection between scent and your brain — especially how it works through the amygdala, the emotional control centre — and how our signature blends are crafted to support calm, clarity, energy and balance in your daily life.

🧠 How Scent Works in the Brain

When you breathe in the aroma from an Amara Wells room mist or candle, something extraordinary happens.

  • The scent molecules travel directly from your nose to your brain, bypassing logic and heading straight to the amygdala — the part of your brain responsible for emotions, memories, and mood.
  • This is why a scent can immediately shift your emotional state — whether calming anxiety, lifting your energy, or grounding you in peace.

The amygdala and olfactory bulb are part of a unique system: the limbic system. This direct pathway means scent is the fastest way to influence your feelings — and that’s why we’ve formulated each product with deep intention.
