March 2, 2011 — -- Finding it hard to concentrate at work? There are scents that might actually help you focus. So what scents do some say can really help you stay alert?

>Rosemary and peppermint each produce a strong aroma that can be helpful in enhancing concentration diminished by exhaustion. Like peppermint, lemon is an essential oil that gives off a strong aroma.

Cypress has a woody, evergreen fragrance that is not quite as strong as some of the other essential oils, but can help increase concentration just the same.
