Look good, feel good… as the saying goes. But we’re proposing a change to the adage: smell good, feel good. And we’re not the only ones on board with the smell-good movement—about 90 percent of the women surveyed in a 2003 study said they feel more confident when wearing fragrance versus when they go without one.
The feeling isn’t purely anecdotal, either. According to science, the scent-brain connection can have a major impact on your mood, whether it’s a soothing smell that helps you relax, a comforting scent that makes you feel at home, or a lively fragrance that gives your confidence a lift.
All the more reason to invest in a signature, mood-boosting scent, right? Totally, except the best perfumes can be seriously expensive (especially if you’re looking for one that will last all day). That’s why right now is the perfect opportunity to save big on luxe fragrances by popular brands during the Walmart Glow-Up Beauty Event. Head online or in stores from August 25 through September 24 to score beauty steals like these six luxe fragrances that are basically a pep-talk in a bottle. Repeat after us: Smell good, feel good.
