“Comfort Scents”
In my role as a nutrition counselor, I quickly became familiar with the concept of “comfort foods.” My clients would confide that often they were eating, not because they were hungry, but because a particular food brought them a sense of psychological comfort and well-being.
I find this true of certain fragrances as well. To me, Christian Dior Addict is the emotional/olfactory equivalent of milk and freshly baked cookies. (This might be in part due to its delicious bourbon vanilla base). Sometimes I spritz my Addict in the air around me and just wait, eyes closed, as it floats in a gentle mist around me, landing on my skin like a gentle ethereal hug! Just breathing in the lovely scent makes me feel grounded, comforted and at peace.
How about you? Do you have a “comfort scent” that brings you a feeling of peace and equanimity?
Addict is available at Nordstrom and Sephora.
