mood boosting fragrance: how to scent your space to feel good.

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.”

for a lift in mood + mental clarity

notes: bergamot, mandarin, neroli, citrus, jasmine, lemon

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.

for warmth + joy

notes: vanilla, honey, tonka bean, amber, chocolate, caramel

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.

  • cashmere wood – warm saffron and sandalwood, finished with amber, musk and vanilla. like your favourite soft jumper, in scent form.

  • honey tobacco – rich honey, spiced tobacco and creamy tonka bean. bold, comforting and surprisingly addictive.

for calm + balance

notes: patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, amber, cedarwood

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.

for fresh starts + airy feels

notes: ozonic, sea salt, light woods, soft florals

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.


try these mood boosting fragrances:

  • sage sea salt – crisp, fresh, with subtle woods and florals. great for that “just cleaned the house” feeling, without actually lifting a finger.

  • citrus chandana – citrus meets soft florals and a little chocolatey warmth. it’s unique, refreshing and a fab all-rounder scent.

  • e. – fresh lemon, neroli and gardenia wrapped in a soft base of white honey and amber. elegant, clean, and completely addictive.
