Mood Wood Wearable Aromatherapy
Developed from the concept of altering or stimulating the senses, these rings are designed to negotiate with the olfactory senses’ strong connection to memory and mood. They seek to make aromatherapy—the practice of altering emotion through the use of essential oils—a more accessible, every day activity. According to research, humans touch their faces thousands of times a day; the wearable form of the ring takes advantage of this tendency to positive effect, subconsciously altering the wearer’s mood throughout the day. One rubs their chosen scent into the wood before a day of use, building a personal relationship between person and object. This establishes a daily practice that can become a meditative ritual as memories are created and associated with their chosen scents.
