In a world dominated by visual stimuli and sounds, the sense of smell is often underestimated – yet it is one of the most direct pathways to memories, emotions, and behavioral patterns. In Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), this is referred to as olfactory anchoring : a specific scent becomes associated with an emotional state, allowing your nervous system to return to it on command.
At ÆR, we develop each ritual blend not only for its aroma, but specifically for its neurological effects. Our blends are designed to stabilize you with a single breath – mentally, emotionally, and physically.
What is olfactory anchoring?
In NLP, anchoring means linking a sensory stimulus – such as a scent – with a desired state. If the anchoring experience is repeated often enough, the scent alone can evoke this state.
Why does scent work so well? Because the sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic system – the center for emotions and memories in the brain.
"The olfactory system is directly connected to the limbic brain, which controls emotions, memories, and motivation." — Harvard Gazette
How to set a scent anchor
- Choose the desired state (e.g., calmness, focus, self-confidence).
- Consciously evoke this state – e.g., through breathing, visualization, or recollection.
- Inhale your chosen ÆR mixture when the emotional peak is reached.
- Repeat the process over several days.
- Later you can use the scent again to specifically recall the state.
Over time, the scent becomes a neurological switch for your inner state.

Why olfactory anchoring is so effective
Scents have a direct connection to the limbic system – the part of your brain responsible for emotions and memories. Unlike visual or auditory stimuli, scents work below the level of conscious perception – and that's precisely what makes them so powerful.
