Research shows that scents are linked to mood, emotions, memory and even behavioral patterns.
Have you ever heard of environmental fragrance? “This term, widely used in commercial environmental projects, applies perfectly to residential environments as well. Environmental aroma can be artificial, when we introduce an aroma into a space, or be part of the space itself, when it belongs to a product”. he explains. Anna Persia Bastos, interior designer and reference in projects of healthy, sustainable and inclusive spaces.
A coffee table in the afternoon perfumes the whole environment with the aroma of bread and cookies, leaving an unforgettable aroma. When this happens, you register this sensation in your unconscious, and every time you sit at a table that refers to your first experience, the emotion you felt will return to the same vibration as before, connecting to this environment of young. Isn’t that amazing?
No. “Toilet Concept” project.the walls were painted with a texture of recycled coffee powder, a scent that warms the hearts of Brazilians and refers to pleasant moments.
and why does this happen?
Smell is called the chemical sense, because it allows human beings to distinguish a useful or not useful substance from the smell sensed by the nose. The smells we smell are processed close to the centers of emotion and memory, not showing any cognitive effort to register that smell that reminds us of that space or situation.
The power of scent goes beyond having an aromatic place. It can affect your mood, your connection to the environment, your relationships with people, closing deals and much more. Because it is the first sense to be sharpened, it is through it that the first impression comes.
Here you can already see the great ally that commercial institutions have, can’t you? And residential, can they benefit from this strategy?
Secondly Anna Persia Bastos“A good fragrance is capable of boosting self-esteem and even providing health benefits. Research shows that when scents are inhaled, they help activate the body’s limbic system, which is linked to mood, emotions, memory and even our patterns of behavior”. .
The mind’s emotional response to scent can bring great benefits to the individual, such as
– improving sleep;
– reduction of stress symptoms;
– increased sense of well-being; AND
– promoting relaxation of mind and body.
“A healthy home is related to the integration of several factors and strategies, aimed at well-being and improving the quality of life. Before including a scent in your home, seek to know its origin. , essences, herbs and many other possibilities , but don’t forget that it is important that they are non-toxic, natural products that are produced respecting life”, he says.

Healthy projects
A healthy design considers seven essential points to bring health to the occupants and/or users of spaces: acoustics, lighting, cleaning materials, building materials, electromagnetic pollution, air and water quality, and exercise and leisure. . During design, it is necessary to reflect on what is specified for the built environment and what are the best strategies to improve what already exists. There is no point in thinking about just one of the points listed here because they all have a significant impact on the environment and a sick home reflects on the residents and causes illness for all who enjoy it. It is a set of design strategies and solutions that are thought and put into practice, always aiming at the well-being and quality of life of the residents. Air, water, lighting and ventilation are extremely important to the well-being and health of beings. We cannot live without them and if any of them are of poor quality, we get sick. In summary, the healthy project focuses on health, well-being, ensuring a better quality of life.
