When you’re in a good mood, your body is balanced and your olfactory sensory system (your sense of smell) is at its peak. But when you’re in a bad mood, the effects of stress and other factors can inhibit your olfactory system. So you’ll want to perfume shop when stress levels are low and you’re in high-spirits.
