Abstract
Essential oils extracted from petals, leaves, roots, and other parts of plants possess a variety of scents. By effectively utilizing these essential oils, it is expected to enrich our living environments with pleasant scents and beneficial effects. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between impressions of scents and their aromatic components, focusing on 137 types of essential oils with various scent qualities. Odor samples were prepared by adding essential oils to screw-top vials to achieve an odor intensity of approximately level 3. These samples were presented to 36 university students for evaluation. The evaluation indicators included basic measures such as odor intensity, as well as indicators related to the impressions and emotions. In a study examining the relationship between the components of the 137 types of essential oils and impression ratings, it was found that essential oils containing high amounts of limonene, linalool and geraniol tended to receive relatively positive impression ratings.
