fragrances for mood boosting

ever noticed how a certain smell can instantly lift your mood, calm your nerves, or make your whole home feel a little more… you? yep, same. scent is powerful stuff. at elena london, i create mood boosting products to help you feel something—whether that’s more relaxed, more energised, or just a little more “ahhh.”

citrus notes are bright, refreshing and full of energy—like a little mental reset. they’re amazing for mornings or those moments when you're dragging a little and need a mood boost. adding a floral twist softens the blend, making it calming and uplifting.

mood boosting best for: mornings, work-from-home focus, getting stuff done

try these mood boosting fragrances:

• amber orange – zesty citrus (mandarin + tangerine) balanced with grounding amber and sandalwood. perfect for busy days when you still want to feel calm.

• e. – fresh lemon and neroli on a floral heart with honey and patchouli in the base. basically, sunshine in scent form.

• sage sea salt – juicy grapefruit and tangerine with soft florals and sea air vibes. think: spa day by the coast.

these are your “wrap me in a blanket and bring me snacks” scents. they’re warm, indulgent and feel like home. perfect for evenings on the sofa, or when you just want your space to feel extra cosy.

mood boosting best for: relaxing evenings, hosting, rainy days in

try these mood boosting fragrances:

• bergamot truffle – rich, smooth and a little bit boujee. chocolate and vanilla with floral notes and a bergamot top to keep it fresh.

when your brain’s running at 100mph or you’re feeling a bit all over the place, these are the scents that bring you back down to earth. grounding, soothing and just a little bit luxe.

mood boosting best for: meditation, journaling, switching off after a busy day

try these mood boosting fragrances:

• black pomegranate – rich and dark with juicy pomegranate, pink pepper, woody base notes and a soft floral heart. elegant, calm, and a little mysterious.

• honey tobacco (again because yes) – it’s earthy and sweet with that smoky, woody depth that makes you feel safe and settled.

• bergamot truffle – smooth and indulgent with sandalwood, dark chocolate, and vetiver at the base. a deep, elegant scent that feels grounding, but still a little glam.

clean, airy scents are perfect when you want to reset the energy in a room. they make everything feel calm, clear, and like you’ve got your life together—even if it’s just the illusion (no judgement here).

mood boosting best for: freshening up, post-cleaning rewards, guest-ready homes.
