The 13th Annual National Sense of Smell Day will be observed on April 29th. Founded by the Sense of Smell Institute, the Research & Education Division of The Fragrance Foundation, “this entertaining and educational one-day event focuses on the mysterious sense of smell—how it works and the important role it plays in many aspects of our daily life as well as how it interacts with our other senses.” Complete information on the holiday is available at http://www.senseofsmell.org/. “Fragrance adds a rich dimension to life. Instead of just letting smells happen to us, it’s empowering to put a personal stamp on our surroundings by choosing fragrances that soothe the spirit, sharpen creativity or lend excitement to a time or place,” asserts Rachel Lane, founder of Barcelona Bath & Body Inc. “Based on a home fragrance philosophy that is all about layering, our combination of handcrafted soaps, soy wax candles and Room Refresh sprays creates harmony throughout personal surroundings—home, office and travel.” Much scientific research has proven that the sense of smell affects mood. Logic backs up this research since aromas are processed by the brain’s limbic center, which is also responsible for memory and emotions. Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean, Barcelona Bath & Body products are handcrafted in Grapevine, Texas from the finest ingredients. Soaps, candles and Room Refresh sprays are available in five distinctive scent blends—Vanilla Lavender, Cinnamon Sandalwood, Grapefruit Ylang Ylang, Coconut Bay Rum and Lemongrass Fennel.
