It's not just about how a scent smells; it's also about how it makes you feel, what emotions it provokes, and what memories it brings up. And it has nothing to do with the packaging or advertising—it has everything to do with science.
As a result, a nice fragrance is made up of notes that are intended to guide and target certain emotions. Some, like sandalwood, might make you feel tranquil, while others, like vanilla, can make you feel warm and seductive. Knowing which scents evoke particular emotions is a fantastic way to determine which fragrance to wear for different occasions: a spritz of bergamot might give you the boost you need to get your day started, while jasmine might energize you before a meeting.
Depending on the sensations you want to create and allowing you to choose the ingredients, whatever note (or mix of notes) would work best for you.
1. Vanilla
Vanilla, which comes from the pod of an orchid-like plant, is thought to be an aphrodisiac, according to Totonac folklore about a daughter of a fertility goddess who transformed herself into a plant to bring pleasure after being unable to marry a man owing to her divine nature.

2. Bergamot
The bergamot orange is produced by the citrus bergamia, a tiny tree that blooms in the winter. It is widely utilized in fragrances for its sweeter smelling citrus aroma, despite the fact that it is extremely sour and harsh to taste.

3. Sandalwood
Sandalwood is extracted from parasitic plants that grow on trees and has been used as a basis for incense by the Ancient Arabs for millennia. It is also used in various spiritual traditions in India. "This uncommon wood is the creamiest," Garcia-Janin explains, "with a woody, creamy, and pleasant aroma." "It is recognized in Asia to restore mental balance and harmony, as well as attention."
