A time-released, smile enhancing, citrus scent cue scientifically demonstrated to
increase happiness and feelings of well-being. Can be used to improve mood or to
decrease feelings of unhappiness.
Why it works:
In several studies, researchers at the University of Vienna found that men and women
who were exposed to the aroma of orange oil (citrus sinensis) became happier and
more relaxed during a stressful situation.*
Scentology’s Bliss Booster is formulated with the same orange oil which will maximally
increase overall positive mood and reduce depressive symptoms.

Journal Article Abstract:
Essential oils have been used as remedies for a long time in different cultures
across the world. However, scientific proof of such application is scarce. We included
72 patients between the ages of 22 and 57 while waiting for dental treatment in
our study. The participants were assigned to either a control group (14 men, 23
women) or to an odor group (18 men and 17 women). Ambient odor of orange was diffused
in the waiting room through an electrical dispenser in the odor group whereas in
the control group no odor was in the air. We assessed by means of self-report demographic
and cognitive variables, trait and state anxiety, and current pain, mood, alertness,
and calmness. In this study, we report that exposure to ambient odor of orange has
a relaxant effect. Specifically, compared to the controls, women who were exposed
to orange odor had a lower level of state anxiety, a more positive mood, and a higher
level of calmness. Our data support the previous notion of sedative properties of
the natural essential oil of orange (Citrus sinensis).

Journal Article Abstract:
The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of the essential oils of orange
and lavender on anxiety, mood, alertness and calmness in dental patients. Two hundred
patients between the ages of 18 and 77 years (half women, half men) were assigned
to one of four independent groups. While waiting for dental procedures patients
were either stimulated with ambient odor of orange or ambient odor of lavender.
These conditions were compared to a music condition and a control condition (no
odor, no music). Anxiety, mood, alertness and calmness were assessed while patients
waited for dental treatment. Statistical analyses revealed that compared to control
condition both ambient odors of orange and lavender reduced anxiety and improved
mood in patients waiting for dental treatment. These findings support the previous
opinion that odors are capable of altering emotional states and may indicate that
the use of odors is helpful in reducing anxiety in dental patients.
