Scent is one of the fastest ways to shift how you feel. Because smell connects directly to the parts of the brain that govern emotion and memory, a fragrance can calm, energize, or ground you before you've even consciously registered it. That's why, when we created our new goop beauty Black Pepper + Ginger Grounding Body Wash, we started with the scent. If you’ve been with us for a while, you might recognize some of the notes from our G.Day body wash—which Brad, and many of the other men in our lives, have been begging us to bring back. We started with that scent and tweaked it a little, adding citrus and sandalwood to deepen and brighten it. I'm completely addicted to this new iteration: It is warm, a little sweet, a little spicy. It is somehow both calming and energizing, and it turns my morning and evening showers into a ritual that resets my body and mind. (And yes, Brad loves it as much as I do—it’s beautifully gender-neutral.) This week, we're exploring the science behind scent—and how to use fragrance throughout your day to sharpen your focus, lift your mood, and unwind. Love, Gwyneth
