As someone who delved into the world of aromatherapy after falling down the rabbit hole of essential oil science, this merging of neuroscience and aroma’s in the Brain Emotions Collection is honestly like a dream come true!

 We’ve been long aware of the emotional and physical benefits of essential oils for centuries, but with the revolutionary IFF BrainEmotions™ study we now have the neuroscientific measures that have been validated by experts in neuroscience, to link the connection between aromas and emotional/cognitive pathways in the brain. This collection by ECO. is at the forefront of utilizing this type of research, and as a Qualified Aromatherapist I’m fangirling over here.

 Whether you need a bit of a boost in the self love department or need to pull an all nighter (without drowning in coffee), each of the Brain Emotions neuroscience backed expertly crafted blends are your natural solution; and here’s why:

1. Alertness Essential Oil Blend

This blend is your go-to when you need to be top of your game, whether it’s a project that needs 110% of your focus or you’ve had another restless night with the kids; this blend will be better than caffeine to get you through the day.

 With the use of citrus oils such as Lemon, Bergamot and Petitgrain, the citrus aroma family significantly enhances attention levels, concentration and cognitive performance making them the perfect top notes to this Alertness blend. Rosemary, with its known effect for stimulating the nervous system, helps to marry this blend with increasing mental alertness and gives you control over those wayward thoughts to be able to focus. While elements of Sandalwood, Clove and Cedarwood with their earthy scent, work as a mental tonic to give this blend grounding in high states of alertness.

2. Happiness Essential Oil Blend

Everyone wants to feel happy, but sometimes we need a little extra help. Especially when it’s a dreary rainy day, this intoxicating blend will have you feeling like you’ve been lapping up the sun in the Maldives for the past week.

This intoxicating blend of floral and citrus scents with a sweet undertone, uses the power of both antidepressant and sedative essential oils to signal the brain to release those happy hormones. These benefits help to calm the nervous system, decrease our stress responses in the Limbic Brain and increase the body's production of serotonin to elevate our mood. The zesty scent of Lime and Sweet Orange, beautifully paired with Geranium, Rosemary, Ylang Ylang and Vanilla leaves an uplifting aroma that immediately gives our brain and body that happiness boost - minus the expensive holiday costs.

3. Self Esteem Essential Oil Blend

Being outside of our comfort zone is not something people like to do very often, but what if I told you this little blend can help boost your confidence and get you through those less than comfortable situations?!

With their aphrodisiac benefits on the brain, Ylang Ylang, Black Pepper, Jasmine, Patchouli, Cinnamon and Rose are the absolute heroes of this blend. Aphrodisiac essential oils are amazing to use outside the bedroom, as they signal to the Limbic Brain to release serotonin and dopamine, to not only calm the body and reduce anxiety but to also boost self-confidence through the release of happy hormones. Combined with the antidepressant benefits of Sweet Orange, Lavender, Geranium, Tangerine, Cedarwood, Clove, Sandalwood and Vanilla, this empowering combination calms the nervous system to turn off limiting self talk and anxiety through lowering our stress responses, giving us the capacity to enhance our feelings of positive self-image and the confidence to tackle any situation.

4. Mindfulness Essential Oil Blend

I’m terrible at yoga, my mind has on repeat “how long until this is over” (and don’t even get me started on how awful my downward dog stance is) so to calm those racing thoughts and bring some mindfulness to my day, this calming blend is the solution to bring about a bit of zen.

This beautiful zen blend of Sweet Orange, Bergamot, Cedarwood, Ylang Ylang, Lavender and Cinnamon powerfully fuses the use of sedative essential oils. These oils have a harmonising effect on not only the nervous system, but also the brain by helping to produce alpha waves which are responsible for bringing your mind into a relaxed and restful state. This relaxed state gives us the ability to deal with stress by grounding and slowing our racing thoughts, allowing space to reflect and assist with mindfulness practices - no downward dog needed!

5. Seduction Essential Oil Blend

Knowing what to wear for date night has just gotten easier with this seduction blend. This soft and light scent will not only boost your own confidence but will also enhance emotional intimacy and attraction.

As the symbol of love, Rose is the hero of this blend with its rousing sweet, warm and deep-floral scent. Fused with the heady scent of Cinnamon and Jasmine, these aphrodisiac essential oils signal the brain to increase the levels of oxytocin in the body, known as the “love hormone” to help drive attraction and sexual desire. Delicately blended with Grapefruit, Tangerine and Lime, this floral and zesty combination enhances the release of happy hormones to open the brain to emotional intimacy and sexual motivation.The perfect scent to create into an essential oil perfume roller (Use with caution ;) )
