A method for modulating mood or emotion comprising:
- capturing one or more organic compounds from a subject experiencing a specific mood or emotional state on a substrate that is capable of capturing or absorbing the one or more organic compounds, wherein the substrate is an activated carbon strip, a carbon impregnated fiber, or a solid-phase microextraction fiber, and wherein the one or more organic compounds are captured by wearing the substrate in close proximity to the skin for a time period of at least one hour;
- releasing the one or more organic compounds from the substrate into a fragrance, oil, cream, lotion, or shampoo;
