The word Aromachology can be translated into psychological therapy by the aroma. The pleasant smell of an aromatic oil or fragrance oil has a profound psychological effect on us without even have touched the skin as Aromatherapy does. This makes choosing an oil based on its aroma is a very powerful way to choose and use aromatic oils for a specific purpose.
Olfaction refers to our sense of smell and is extremely powerful. In fact, the message from your nose when you smell an aroma is sent to your brain almost instantaneously. The two parts of the brain that are directly impacted by olfaction are the limbic system (emotion, instinctive behavior, motivation, feelings, learning, and memory) and the cerebral cortex (memory, attention, perceptual awareness)
Here is some guidance for you to find the right choices of fragrance oils.
CHARACTERISTICS

SILLAGE

FACET SUGGESTION
Appreciating a fragrance in all its individuality—noticing and naming its facets, as best we can—begin to suggest how we might work with it as we set about creating an entire constellation of the fragrance. The words that capture facets tend to be adjectives or nouns that function as metaphors, referencing other kinds of aromas or experiences to remind us how they color the dominant character of the fragrance, in a position such as Top, Heart, Base Notes
