Meet The Mood-Boosting Scents For Summer 2024

By Victoria Hall

Dare we say it, but perhaps summer has officially arrived... for this week at least. Whether the sunshine stays or the rain returns, we highly recommend rethinking your fragrance and considering something fresher and lighter. It’s no secret that scent has the power to not just transport you, but to help boost your mood. Citrus scents are thought to be incredibly uplifting and energising, while lavender is renowned for easing stress and anxiety.

These are just two examples and in a world with endless fragrance notes, there are plenty more that will connect with you on a personal level when you’re in need of some happiness. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite mood-boosting fragrances for this time of year – featuring both classics and new scents. How many have you tried?
