University researchers in Japan found that diffusing certain aromas in an office environment dramatically improved mental accuracy and concentration.
Diffusing Lemon essential oil resulted in 54 percent fewer errors, Jasmine 33 percent fewer errors, and Lavender - 20 percent fewer errors. When aromas were diffused during test taking, scores increased by as much as 50 percent!
Since Jasmine is one of the most expensive oils there is, you may want to choose to diffuse Lemon if improved concentration is your primary goal. However, Jasmine has many other important properties as well.
Jasmine has been nicknamed as the "queen of the night" and "moonlight of the grove." For centuries, women have treasured jasmine for its beautiful, seductive fragrance.
Like all blossom oils, it has a strong affinity for facial skin. It has been used for thousands of years in skin care, cosmetics and perfumes. It is toning and antiseptic, and has a relaxing, aphrodisiac scent.
A bath with Jasmine oil lets you forget aggravation, stress, anger, nervousness, and worries. And it is particularly suited for treating dry, sensitive, and sore skin and has a soothing effect on skin infections.

P. S. Did you know that one pound of Jasmine oil requires about 1,000 pounds of jasmine or 3.6 million fresh, unpacked blossoms? The blossoms must be collected before sunrise, or much of the fragrance will have evaporated. The quality of the blossoms may also be compromised if they are crushed.
P.P.S. A single pound of pure jasmine oil may cost between $1,200 and $4,500. In contrast, synthetic jasmine oils can be obtained for $3.50 per pound. Of course, they do not possess the same therapeutic qualities as the pure oil.
Natural skin care products like Jasmine oil and any other essential oils are the best skin care products. Nature has provided us with everything we need. Thus, we should use them.

What a great article! I just wrote one on improving concentration and didn't include any aromas, but I've read that aromatics greatly increase memories, so this makes sense.
It's like when a certain perfume or cologne reminds you of a specific person, I guess now we know that lemon helps with concentration. fascinating.
