12 Days of Detox: Space NK's Laughter Detoxes Your Emotions

There's no doubt about it - scent can absolutely influence your mood. Just before Christmas I told you about the cuddly note, something fragrance creators know men in particular respond to, as it evokes warm, comforting feelings. Lavender can be used to relax a tired mind, and citrus smells are uplifting and mood-enhancing.

So there's no ambiguity as to what Space NK's Laughter fragrance is designed for. Recently repackaged in chunky glass and silver metal to celebrate their 15th birthday, this spritz is fresh, full bodied and just fab for this time of year - especially if you often find you get down in the dumps with bad weather and short days.

I've been splashing it on a lot recently and loving the sharp bite of citrus fruits, bergamot and ginger. Delish and invigorating, it's perfect for depressing, dreary January. Bag a bottle at Space NK at Harvey Nichols, Dundrum, for €60.
