positive emotions

This study examined whether olfactory cues, such as perfumes, could mitigate the fade-out effect—the decline in positive emotions and life satisfaction after vacations. While no statistically significant differences were found between the control and experimental groups, the experimental group showed a slight positive trend in life satisfaction and emotions. These findings suggest potential for further research into olfactory cues as a method for enhancing post-vacation well-being, requiring larger and more diverse samples.
