The Methodology

Edeniste together with the Japanese fragrance house Takasago leveraged a variety of scientific methods and technologies to assess the action of the patented and proven molecules and olfactive accords:

·         EEG recordings coupled with CNV* analysis (*Contingent Negative Variation Analysis), a method of indexing gradual potential changes in the human brain, mental processes, and arousal levels (Relax, Wellbeing, and Energy) 

·         fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow (Seduction and Happiness) 

·         Saliva test, measuring biomarkers in saliva (cortisol and alpha amylase) after a stressful task (all Edeniste Eau de Parfums )

·         Biosensors test, measuring our physiological parameters such as heartrate, electrodermal activity, blood flow, skin conductance, muscle tension – used to test the scientifically proven ingredients and molecules in all the active Lifeboost®.

 

THE CLINICAL TRIALS: Each Edeniste Lifeboost® was tested using the Biosensors by Dr Jeremie Topin, who meassured each participant’s physiological parameters such as heartrate, electrodermal activity, blood flow, skin conductance, muscle tension.

 

THE CLAIM:The results and data support the hypothesis that the Edeniste Lifeboost® active essences had a positive impact on the physiological responses, that align with the emotional claim of each of the Lifeboost® active essences. 

Dr. Topin states “Our measurements have shown a real modulation of the emotional sphere following olfactory stimulations by the Edeniste fragrances. The modulation of emotions by fragrances is a current topic & Audrey was able to bring passion and scientific rigor to her olfactory creation Edeniste.”
