Ever wonder why a romantic evening seems to include music and candles. Or when you need that relazing bath you find some candles to light at the least and some music at the most. It is no coincidence that these two seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly.
A Japanese study proved the correlation between the two in a small but effective gtest group of males. In the study the areas measured were impacts of music and/or fragrance if exposed to one or the other included mood disturbance, tension, depression and anger.
Additionally vitality was an area that was measured. Interestingly all the negative emotions decreased with exposure to music or fragrance. Vitality increased but only if exposed to both music and fragrance.
Feelings of feeling relaxed had a very high increased response when exposed to both. Feeling of carefreeness and feeing fine increased significantly if exposed to either music or fragrance and both together.
In short, there is a reason you feel better when you have those candles and soft music. Something in your brain tells you to feel that way. Time to stock up on those candles and classic music cd's!!!
