Scent Success
Aromatherapy probably isn’t the first tool you think of to help boost your delegate’s productivity and learning. But something now recognised in the workplace can be transferred to the world of events, to help maximise ROI for conference and training events.
Smell is the strongest of the senses and is best able to influence brain activity. Olfactory bulbs are part of the limbic system and directly connect to the areas of the brain that process emotion and learning.
Scents can be designed to run through venue air conditioning for larger spaces or diffusers placed in small meeting room’s ideal for brainstorming sessions.
The top four scents for boosting productivity, mood and creativity are:
- Citrus for clarity and clam
- Lavender to relieve stress
- Cinnamon for concentration and focus
- Peppermint for an energy boost and creativity
