Scents have been used throughout the ages for a multitude of reasons. From hiding body odor to creating just the right mood, from uplifting your feelings to relaxing your body, scents can work wonders for so many things.
Did you know that most people can distinguish between 3,000 and 10,000 different scents? Some people enjoy an array of different scents while others do not and there are many very good reasons why.
So why is it that someone may like one scent and not another?
Because even though we can distinguish many scents, our sense of smell is very closely tied to our subconscious and the decision making process of our mind. Scents can bring up a whole host of emotions and memories that can be pleasant (the fragrance your wife had on when you got married), or unpleasant (that terrible aftershave the police officer was wearing when you got your first ticket). Scents have a way of sticking in your memory. You may not know why you do or don’t like a certain smell but your brain knows.
There is another issue with fragrances that should be addressed; and that is a health concern. It has been determined that one of the biggest triggers for people who have asthma and allergies comes with the use of synthetic fragrances.
Encoura's Scents are not intended to be used in excess or directly on the skin. The scents are designed to freshen a room or mist lightly on an article of clothing. They also come with a reminder to use the scent "Responsibly" or with respect to the people in our surroundings.
NOTE: Any Encoura product that uses a fragrance oil will have a notice indicating the ingredient used. There will also be a link to our Ingredient Note for details.
