Olfactory bulbs are part of our limbic system transmitting smell information from the nose to the brain, and directly connect to areas of the brain that process emotion and memory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe TUI Sensatori \u2018Balance\u2019 scent has also been customised to instill feelings of contentment &#8211; blended from juicy fresh citrus, white jasmine and delicate soft musk, also known for their calming and stress-solidifying properties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leading Oxford University experimental psychologist and sensory expert, Professor Charles Spence accompanied Dawn Goldworm to the TUI Sensatori Resort Negril, where he studied her interpretation of the resort.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Charles Spence added, \u201cTapping into our senses is one of the best ways to evoke the past. Our noses have a fabulous way of sniffing out positive memories. We\u2019ve now learnt that one in five of us actively turn to scents that remind us of a trip, in a bid to extend the holiday glow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Holi-Brolly, which is also being trialed with a light therapy bulb, provides an uplifting glow to further soothe post-holiday blues every time it is opened.<\/p>\n<p>The catalyst for the idea happened after TUI Sensatori carried out a study earlier this year which uncovered the average holiday memory fades after less than two weeks. Suntan lotion (31%) is the smell Brits most commonly associate with holidaying abroad, followed by the scent of sea air (18%) and coconut oil (7%).<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to returning home, seventy-five per cent of holiday makers have fallen victim to the holiday blues.<\/p>\n<p>One in four holidaymakers also believes returning to the grey skies and wet weather of the UK is the worst thing about coming back from a break.<\/p>\n<p>The umbrella, whose scent will last a lifetime within the canopy, thanks to clever micro-encapsulation technology is the culmination of 6 months\u2019 work.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Charles Spence said, \u201cOur senses play a crucial part in storing and retrieving holiday memories, with scent being a particularly potent trigger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDawn\u2019s synaesthesia has enabled her to capture something completely unique &#8211; what the sights and textures of a holiday smell like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The luxury TUI Sensatori Resorts have been purposefully designed to fuel the senses. Professor Charles Spence studied Dawn Goldworm during her sensorial journey at TUI Sensatori Resort Negril in Jamaica, where she has bottled everything from the feeling of pure white sand beneath the toes, the refreshing summer breeze on your face, through to interpreting dreamy salmon sunsets and rich aquamarine sea.<\/p>\n<p>Helen Morgan, Head of Concept for TUI said, \u201cFor the past decade, TUI Sensatori has prided itself on developing five-star resorts to truly fuel the senses.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;<\/em>We\u2019d like the Holi-Brolly to transform any trudge home from work into a more colourful and sensory awakening experience that extends the good times of a well-earned holiday well beyond your flight home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For those who want to feel like they are being transported to tropical climes whilst the wet weather is making them miserable, a limited number of \u2018Holi-Brolly\u2019s\u2019 will be available to trial from TUI stores in some of the wettest cities around the country, including; Bluewater, Metrocentre, The Trafford Centre, Hempstead and Coventry Superstore.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TOP 10 WORST THINGS ABOUT RETURNING HOME FROM HOLIDAY<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Going back to work<\/li>\n<li>Returning to the Great British weather<\/li>\n<li>Feeling tired from travelling<\/li>\n<li>Having to deal with the tasks you put off before leaving<\/li>\n<li>Having nothing in your calendar to look forward to<\/li>\n<li>Returning to the commute<\/li>\n<li>Having to get up early again<\/li>\n<li>Catching up on emails<\/li>\n<li>Going back to wearing your usual clothes<\/li>\n<li>Having to tell everyone about what you did on holiday<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Microencapsulation<\/strong>\u00a0is a process in which tiny particles or droplets are surrounded by a coating to give small capsules, of many useful properties.
