Significant research was done in the 1990s which helped biologists understand how inhaling the scent of essential oils could trigger specific chemical sensors in the body to react. This research helped prove the notions of ancient civilizations- that breathing in essential oils can have significant effect on emotion, mood and atmosphere.
