It is often said that life is a small branch of psychology and hence psychology influences and impacts anything and everything where the mind is a part of the package. In the context of perfumes, fragrances, scents, deodorants and colognes, psychology has influenced the effects. 

Now coming to the psychological aspects of perfumes, fragrance is a desired state of mind. People have associated heaven, beauty and immortality with fragrance. Such is the psychological effect of perfumes on the human mind. Some people have gone to the extent of claiming that perfumes generate happy hormones, but this facet doesn’t have the backing of a scientific research. 

Still, it is a known fact that most people consider perfumes as catalysts of happiness. Catalysts are elements which are not a part of a reaction, but influence the reaction. Likewise, beautiful fragrances might notgenerate happiness directly, but surely act as indirect catalysts. Our minds have always associated perfumeswith freshness and sweat with bad odor; this is nothing but the mental capacity of association as per experiences.

Even in some of the dullest moments, a fresh scent cajoles the mood of your mind and a foul smell will further put you down. All in all, there are a plethora of positive aspects which get connected to perfumes and scents due to the impact of psychology. 

Another psychological aspect is that many people (of both the sexes) believe that fragrances for women have better aroma ingredients for an added effect. This might be because perfumes and women have been compared since ages now.
