The responses of five human subjects to four indoor airborne odors (lavender, peppermint, cypress, and carpet tile) were examined to determine the effect of perceived air quality and odor type and duration on several psycho-physiological variables during periods of rest and while performing intellectual tasks. Exposure to a preferred odor, despite its type, may improve comfort, satisfaction and mood, as well as increasing self-rating work efficiency, and may also enhance the activity of the para-sympathetic system. Sensitivity to a preferred odor was higher at rest than during a task. The exposure time that produces a positive effect on a subject's physiological responses differs with activity level, being one minute during work and ten minutes when at rest.
