Well, i havn't tried it yet but it's true in some aspect,like when i remember my EX when smelling the same perfume she used to wear.
I just hear it in radio that the smelling a perfume in studying can help stimulate your brain recall what your studied when taking exams. Just tape a little cotton on your pen or spray the perfume on you dress during exams. To those who are taking exams, even just a chapters, pls try it and tell me if it works?

I haven't tried it, but it sounds interesting. I read about this topic in one of my psychology books. They did a study where there were two groups of students. One group studied in an ordinary classroom and in the other group they sprayed some perfume in the room where the students were studying for the exam. In the room where the exam took place they sprayed the same perfume, and it turned out that the students who studied in the room with the perfume did better than the others. According to this study there really is a connection between perfume and learning. I am going to try it in December when I have a psychology exam

I am not sure but I think I do understand the reason behind this? As for me I have always loved a good smell because it helps me v relax and it helps me feel comfortable and it does help in boosting my confidence.
Maybe this is the reason why it might be able to help people taking exams do well.

Hi,
It may be true. Now a days some pens also have perfumed ink. I think the light smell of perfume may keep you fresh and fresh mind can make you study well.
