Wake up – Get dressed – Go to work – Sit at a desk for 8 hours – Have lunch – Go home….and do it all again 12 hours later.
This is the routine that many of us are all too familiar with, and because the chances of us winning the lottery are rather slim, it will be a routine for many years to come.
Therefore when I found out what a company in the UK has done to make your workday more enjoyable and productive, my attention was immediately drawn.
Le Bureau is a new concept in shared workspace. Replacing the dull offices with a fresh and modern twist, Le Bureau has also gone a step further by adding scents to the workspace. Using an essential oil blend proven to maximize productivity, they have created a unique and encouraging environment.
It may not be the winning lottery numbers, but it makes sense!

Club Med have already been scenting shared areas of their Crested Butte and Cancun Yucatan resorts for several years. As a guest you can relax in the lounge for a cocktail, or be re-energized in the fitness centre.
Now Club Med is taking the guest experience to the next level. Later this year in their Bahamas resort, they will be offering guests a personalized scenting experience. Guests will be able to choose from different scents according to their personal needs. Just like you receive a room service menu, guests will also receive a Scent Menu. The menu will outline scents available and detail the health and psychological benefits of each aroma.
So next time you order room service, be sure to ask for some scents with that!

Many experts tell us that drinking too much coffee is not good for you. However, trying to cut out your morning coffee is easier said than done.
But the mornings are starting to look more promising. A recent animal study in Japan discovered that the smell of coffee bean might have an effect on our mind and levels of productivity. Although the tests are at the early stages, the response by the rats that were exposed to the coffee beans was impressive against those that were not.
The tests lead to discussions of workplaces scenting the coffee aroma to increase work levels amongst employees.
It’s not yet known if humans are affected in the same way, but let’s hope so.
