Fragrance, belonging and Paris.. Psychotherapy!
There’s a nice article that I found, and I’m bringing this post that I’ve wanted for a long time to write about in a personal way, but the in-house doctor refused to go out without a scientific character, even reluctantly. In part, this article speaks of the idea of belonging and nostalgia that occurs within a child to the smell of his or her home, mother and father when divorce occurs between his or her parents, The child talks in the article how the smell of clothes cleaner that his mother used when she was with his father became the child connecting her to his old home And when he goes to visit his father at his new home and there is another cleaner that is used then the child feels some kind of confusion and confusion of the different smell as well as some kind of disaffiliation with this place, And there’s another mom in the article who talks about how her kids go back to their dad’s smell when they come home after their divorce, she says that. – And she laughs – so she starts washing their clothes first but the smell stays even in their hair!

The affiliation that smell makes. And the perfect past!
There are previous theses that have talked about the effect of the affiliation that smell makes in the mind of those who smell it and in general about the effect of sensors (like smell) on the consciousness in us, about the differentiation that occurs because of a particular smell, so the source of this smell is something where we see part of the (I) and (we) in it and become affiliated with it, or the source of a different smell on the opposite side is something we see in it. (Others) And not us, this wonderful ability that smell does to embed and exclude or to strengthen and destroy bonds, Perhaps the smell does so frequently and unremarkably, but what it does as well more clearly is activate it for the idea of nostalgia within us or the Nostalgia It might say that the smell of an old fragrance may remind us of the past and the nostalgia of the whole past, But the nostalgia requirement in general, especially with odors, is to activate the nostalgia of the past (ideal) and activation of visual memory – as it is called in psychoanalysis – For the beautiful perfect past in a selective manner and free from negative memories in a psychological defensive state performed by the unaware of us by suppressing these negative memories to protect the ego in us So and more do the smell and the perfume bottle and the smells of bakeries or foods that take us east and west to places and people who we crave from their memories with us with delightful emotional momentum, It is interesting that this nostalgia is personal in our sense and in the intensity of privacy for our deep self And to be alive and smelly, I’ll tell you a little bit about my aromatic library, I have about 170 bottles of fragrance and like them of perfume samples, I have the bottle after her sister and as usual when I buy a new fragrance I think fast about the fragrance I will buy after, My library built it in less than two years and that number of perfumers is not much. And there are three special fragrances for other fragrances that make this nostalgia for the perfect past and belonging to my childhood with my father, the first and without extreme competition is the Caron fragrance. (And I’m almost sure a lot shares the same feeling.) The second is Opin’s fragrance. The last is Dakar Neuer’s fragrance. I’ll share the pictures of the fragrances below. The images alone will make some nostalgia and belonging and may even activate the area responsible for sniffing in your brains.
Morbidity when it was bound to smell… Paris is an example!

In the past centuries it has been a necessary belief that so many deadly diseases (such as malaria and plague) is transmitted through unsatisfactory smell, and in 1794 this doctor Jean-Noël Hallé was appointed as the first person responsible for sterile health in Paris in order to reduce disease-inducing odors, He is probably one of the first to add a revolution to aromatic history when he lays out the basics of having toxic odors that are very different from not good smells and only This differentiation makes corroboration of the idea of smell and how not all non-loving smell is toxic and how non-toxic smell is unsatisfactory but it can be detected and modified for what may be acceptable and can be delved into the same scent spells without fear of disease.
This connection between smell and disease is indicative of the innate effect that smell leaves not only on the poetic aspect of affiliation and nostalgia, but it is also a scientifically proven physical effect, for example. Most of you know that there is an auxiliary psychiatric treatment, called aromatherapy, based on these implications of smells over centuries, in which aromatic oils are used with the aim of aromatheraping our. lavender oils and citrus fruits and their known positive impact on anxiety.

And what happens inside the therapeutic room?

This mixture of belonging and feeling that we are only part of a particular place and person with its smell, as well as the mixture of emotional and physical smell effect, all of which make it perfectly logical that the idea of smell within the therapeutic room is sensitive and central to the therapeutic process and the contexts around it, what is the sense of accident when the patient enters the same clinic and smells it? What feelings breed and cause some kind of immersion in emotions when the patient enters the therapist’s room and smells or aromas? The torrent of emotion that we got when we smell our mothers how can it resemble our smell of a therapist’s room or his fragrance?
I recall my readings of old articles how some patients feel his mother’s nostalgia with the scent of his treatment fragrance used by his mother, how some patients when analyzing his comfort in the clinic find him describes many things but the scent is essential and enough alone to bring with him the rest of the beautiful feelings within the therapeutic room, this relational learning – As the people of behavioral cognitive sciences call it – which happens with our smell and the automatic connection that happens with all these feelings and thoughts is important and we are aware of it as therapists, the kind of neuroscience that occurs with our scents as therapists and the scent of the clinic is very deep to talk about and exploit it in the context of the therapeutic relationship between the parties.

I have come to recognize that a tendency to osphresiolagnia, which has become extinct since childhood, may play a part in the genesis of neurosis.
Sigmund Freud – Osphresiolagnia is the sexual arousal through olfactory stimulation
These are my fragrances in the clinic, what are your fragrances?
Finally, the locations of our clinics and the patients who come to us may vary. This difference certainly makes the options available for aromatic notes and smells in general narrower and more limited. Originally, the use of perfume in hospitals in particular and with children’s clinics in particular is not endearing and the smell of hygiene is the best smell without discussion, being a man. – From a sociocultural perspective – it’s influential and being someone who has my own clinic away from hospitals as well makes my choices a little wider But in general the general rule remains the use of fragrances that carry comfortable, acceptable and autumnal notes away from heavy winter fragrances or intense fragrances in acidic, In my experience, quiet wooden smells such as sandalwood and lavender blossom with a base of musk are comfortable smells for the same therapist first before his patient, at the same time – This is very important – I like to choose a fragrance with a different characteristic imprint and not necessarily stark, the aromatic difference distinguishes the therapist and distinguishes his place with emotional momentum around him from anywhere or someone else who bears a smell or uses a common or unmarked fragrance.
In my practice, I moved between three fragrances out of all my fragrances. The first fragrance I used was Aqua Celestia Forte, which I see as a perfect fragrance for my practice. My problem with him is that I didn’t feel with him a distinctive aromatic signature as well as his high price and a bit acidity so I stopped using him as a clinic. From then on, for a very long time, I used the Meander Amouage fragrance, which I say with a lean mouth, is a brilliant clinic fragrance for any psychiatric room and with excellence, Vinnie is afraid to reveal the secret to this fragrance, but it’s selfish not to share this icon with you. The sandalwood in it and the depth made by Omani flesh make it a comfortable fragrance with a distinctive aromatic signature that your patients can remember when they smell elsewhere as well as harmless and unisex-friendly, There is no logical flaw that made me stop using it, but I stopped using it because I found another perfume bottle that was what I wanted during periods of hot weather and I still use it in all my clinics during the last months: Bois Impérial. This fragrance my hand extends to him in abundance and my heart comes closer to him. It is a regular fragrance as it should be regular fragrances, quiet and wood in it makes a comfortable depth as well as four things made
