How Lavender, Citrus & Amber Scents Affect Mood & Stress (Aromatherapy Insights)

In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety are at an all-time high. Many people are turning to aromatherapy—a holistic healing practice that uses natural plant extracts—to promote relaxation, focus, and emotional well-being.

Among the most effective scents for mood regulation are lavender, citrus, and amber. Each has unique biochemical properties that interact with the brain's limbic system (the emotional control center). Modern applications like the Lavendure 21 candle expertly combine these notes for a progressive therapeutic experience.

1. Lavender: The Ultimate Relaxation Scent

How It Affects Mood

Lavender contains linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds that:

• Reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) (NIH Study)

• Increase GABA activity, promoting calmness (similar to anti-anxiety medications)

• Improve sleep quality by slowing nervous system activity

Lavendure 21 uses Lavender for the mid notes helps soothe the mind, melt away stress, and promote deep relaxation for a profound sense of tranquility.

2. Citrus Scents: Natural Mood Boosters

How They Affect Mood

Citrus oils like bergamot, sweet orange, and lemon are rich in limonene, which:

• Stimulates serotonin & dopamine (uplifting effect) (Study Link)

• Reduces symptoms of depression & anxiety

• Enhances mental clarity & focus

The Lavendure 21 candle features lemon and orange in its top notes for morning energy.

3. Amber: Warm, Grounding & Comforting

How It Affects Mood

Amber is a resinous, warm scent that:

• Stimulates endorphins (promotes feelings of safety)

• Reduces emotional exhaustion (Study on Warm Scents)

• Enhances meditation practices

Lavendure 21's proprietary Amber blend at the base notes for unprecedented depth.
