Coffee Fragrances
You don’t just need to drink a cup of coffee to feel perked up. New studies show that the fragrance of a fresh brew can trigger feelings of alertness in the brain. Even if this is just a placebo effect, it’s worth lighting a coffee candle before a morning meeting if you wan to get the best from your team.
