Hi, I'm Hiratchi!
You all know our office is full of greenery and basically a jungle, right?!
📝: Our office is a jungle, so come visit us!
The other day, when I came into the office...
"Huh?! What's that fancy scent... Wait, a forest?!"
That was literally my reaction. For real.
Here's the culprit!
An aroma diffuser!!
This forest scent that makes you want to take a deep breath is perfect for leveling up the office vibe!
Introducing the right scents into the office can actuallyhelp improve focus, refresh the mind, and reduce stress—ultimately leading to higher employee productivity and better engagement. Apparently, using the right aromas can help build an environment that boosts work efficiency!
As someone certified with Aromatherapy Grade 1 and 2, let me introduce the benefits of scents! ♪
(Who knew an aromatherapy qualification would ever come in handy for an engineer...)
First off, the scent of essential oils travels as electrical signals from olfactory cells deep inside the nose straight to the brain's limbic system—the part that controls emotions and instincts. This directly impacts the autonomic nervous system and hormone balance, bringing about a relaxing effect.
So having a nice scent in the office can bring great benefits like boosted productivity, enhanced focus, and a feeling of refreshment!
According to a famous study, diffusing a lemon scent in an office significantly reduced typing errors!
This woody scent is a blend of cypress, eucalyptus, hinoki, and more. The biggest strength of woody scents is that they give you the best of both worlds: relaxation AND refreshment!
Lavender is famous for relaxation, but it can sometimes make you a bit too relaxed, leading to sleepiness or feeling sluggish.
On the other hand, refreshing scents like lemon and other citrus oils wake you right up and get you active.
Woody scents combine both of these elements in exquisite balance!
They calm tension and frustration while keeping your head clear and sharp. It's truly a scent designed to 'tune up' a working brain!
It's pretty amazing how a single scent can completely change the feel of the usual office, isn't it?
It makes me want to try out all kinds of scents!
If you can't put a diffuser in your workspace, you can carry essential oil around and take a quick whiff between tasks to relax and refresh!
Right now it's the gloomy rainy season, so let's blow away the humidity with lovely aromas!!
Do you all have a favorite scent?
Oh, and that scent when you fluff a cat and bury your face in its fur... I just can't get enough of it.
