Scents in the Workplace – Personal Preference Rather Than a Promise of Concentration
Scents can shape the olfactory character of a workplace, but a specific increase in concentration or productivity cannot be generally promised for room fragrance products. Sufficient lighting, ergonomic working conditions, breaks, and as little distraction as possible are more important.
Which fragrance profiles are commonly chosen for the workplace?
- Fresh & citrusy: Bergamot or other citrus accords.
- Herbal: green or herbal profiles.
- Dry woody: cedarwood or vetiver at low concentrations.
Fragrance Must Not Be Distracting
Start with a low concentration. If the fragrance is distracting, causes headaches, or becomes unpleasant, stop using it and ventilate the room. In shared workspaces, the preferences of others should be taken into account.
