The fragrance extends from the limbic system through the olfactory bulb, and the limbic system is the home of our memories and emotions. Therefore, aromatherapy is sometimes referred to as olfactory aromatherapy, because certain essential oils have emotional enhancement properties when inhaled, which helps to promote a calm mental state and enable you to relax. Therefore, the cafe owner will light coffee scented candles in the store, mainly to provide customers with a calm and comfortable and relaxing environment, while also dressing up the space. Scented tea light candles will also be seen in some high-end teahouses, for the same reason.
Aromatherapy candles usually contain aromatherapy oils that have a calming effect on the nervous system. It can relieve the symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression and help people relax or prepare for a good sleep after a long and busy day.
The complex chemicals in essential oils can also trigger physiological reactions, thereby promoting a sense of calmness.

The study found that when the oil is inhaled for 10 minutes, sympathetic nerve activity is reduced.
