Scentimental Moods: Exploring Moods Through Scent

Scentimental Moods is an intimate, experiential workshop that invites you to slow down and notice how moods shape the way you think, relate, and act.

Using scent as a gentle entry point, the workshop explores how moods are not just inner feelings, but invisible forces that quietly influence decisions, conversations, creativity, and collaboration. Rather than analysing emotions or learning perfume theory, participants are guided to sense, reflect, and recognise their own mood patterns through direct experience.

This is not about fixing how you feel. It is about becoming more aware of the mood you are in, understanding how it orients you toward the past, present, or future, and learning how small shifts can open new possibilities in how you show up.

Over three immersive hours, you will work with a curated set of scents and a simple mood framework to explore:

• How scent and memory are biologically linked

• The difference between emotions and moods, and why moods matter more in everyday life

• How moods influence perception, action, and relationships

• How to recognise your current mood without judgement

• How to move from resistance to acceptance with more agility

Most of the experience is quiet, reflective, and sensory. Smelling, noticing, journaling, and mapping moods in relation to time and stance. There is space to share, but no pressure to explain or perform.

By the end of the workshop, participants typically leave with:

• A clearer language to name and recognise moods

• A practical understanding of mood agility, how moods shift and how to accompany that shift

• Awareness of how certain moods narrow or expand what feels possible

• A simple personal practice using scent to support intentional mood changes

• Greater sensitivity to how moods shape collaboration, decision-making, and presence

Many participants describe it as gaining access to an inner compass. Not to control moods, but to navigate them with more care and choice.

Scentimental Moods is designed for people who value reflection and want to relate more consciously with themselves and others. It resonates especially with those who work with people, ideas, and conversations, and who sense that clarity, creativity, and collaboration are deeply connected to mood.

No prior knowledge of scent, psychology, or facilitation is required. Curiosity is enough.

The workshop is intentionally small, with a maximum of eight participants. It takes place in a calm, welcoming space that supports focus and safety. This is a place to slow down, notice, and reconnect with subtle inner signals that are often overlooked.
