Vanilla

This sweet, mild scent doesn’t get enough credit for its calming properties. While many people dismiss vanilla as a pedestrian fragrance, it’s a fantastic base scent that will also help you relax—not to mention it makes your whole house smell like baked goods, minus the hassle and mess of getting in the kitchen. We call that a win-win.

Citrus

While citrus is more well-known for increasing alertness and energy, it can also help you calm down after a hard day. Citrus, when paired with other scents on this list, adds a note of brightness and alleviates some fragrances that may be too rich or sweet on their own.

Peppermint

If you’re looking for an invigorating yet calming scent, but don’t want a citrus fragrance, then peppermint is a good alternative. The minty nature of this refreshing scent will gently invigorate you while soothing away tension. If you’ve never explored peppermint beyond the occasional cup of peppermint tea, you’re really missing out.
