Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a question about Scent Therapy products and our innovative technology? Take a look below at some of the most frequent questions people have about Scent Therapy.
Is Scent Therapy a drug?
No. Scent Therapy uses proprietary scent formulas that are infused into a non-transdermal patch. The aromas are delivered to the smell receptors which are connected to the mood centers in your brain. Since it uses your sense of smell, no harmful ingredients enter the bloodstream. This makes Scent Therapy perfectly safe with no known side effects.
Why are they worn as a patch?
Scent Therapy uses a discreet transparent patch so it remains a personal experience and does not broadcast a signal to others around you. It is also a great visual reminder and retains the intensity of the scent.
What are the key elements used in Scent Therapy?
Scent Therapy products contain hundreds of scent molecules that are blended with essential oils. The aromas are all very pleasant - some are very sensual - and most people enjoy the notes they contain.
What is the scientific thinking behind the patches?
Aromas have been used for thousands of years to enhance moods and influence behavior. Scent Therapy blends the world of aromatherapy and the science of smell to create 'designer aromas' that enhance moods and influence behavior. These aromas are infused into a non transdermal patch which ensures that none of the formula enters your skin or bloodstream.
Does Scent Therapy contain pheromones?
No. Pheromones affect other people and the way they feel about you. Scent Therapy is a personal experience which affects the way you feel about yourself.
Are the scents natural?
No, but the formulas do contain natural ingredients, including natural essential oils.
How long will I have to wear the patch before feeling the effects?
The patch will begin to work immediately, however the effect is cumulative, often building to an optimum level after 3-4 weeks.
Will they work on users of all ages?

What happens if I do not like the scent?
Most people find the scent quite pleasant however a dislike for the scent will not affect its ability to work.

Will Scent Therapy interact with other drugs or medication?

Can I wear it in the bath, while showering or swimming?

Will I become immune to it?
No, but you may consciously stop smelling the scent. This will not reduce its affects.
Will my perfume or cologne interfere with its effect?
Your perfume or cologne will not interfere as long as it is not worn on the same wrist as the patch.
