The power of scent for wellbeing

Scent is a very powerful tool, it triggers memories and feelings allowing you to re-experience an event in your past. The location of the olfactory bulb in the brain is why we connect smell with specific emotions. Smells travel directly to the regions related to memory and feelings. Studies have also shown that people associate different fragrances with different colours. Kalmar’s founder, Karen Ruimy, created the four different soulstate scents that are at the core of her spa treatments, with a qualified ‘nose’ and the associated treatment colours came to her during her meditations:
