You'll find ideas that will make your pages (and your day) more colorful, regardless of whether you're a student, planner addict, or stationery hoarder!
Why Choose Scented Highlighters?
Let's discuss why scented highlighters are a huge game changer before getting into the inventive ideas:
- Mood-Boosting: Fragrances like lavender, lemon, or strawberry can enhance your mood and make journaling a more enjoyable and soothing experience.
- Memory-Enhancing: Research indicates that fragrances can improve memory retention, making them ideal for planners and study notes.
- Multisensory Fun: Incorporate the senses into your journaling process to witness, sense, and smell the creativity!
- Ideal for Kids: Kids can enjoy writing, drawing, and playing while organizing their homework with scented pens.

Ten Creative Ways to Add Fragrant Highlighters to Your Bullet Journal
1. Make your to-do lists colorful
Give each category—such as work, school, home, and personal—a distinct color or scent.
For instance:
- Work = Lemon
- Strawberry = Research
- Grape = Well-being
The scent will serve as a reminder of what's coming up in addition to making your planner look lovely!
2. A Scent-Based Mood Tracker
Make a mood tracker every month and give each mood a color or fragrance:
- Yellow = Joy
- Blue = Calm
- Loved = Pink
- Purple = Weary
Emotion tracking will be more enjoyable and enlightening with this aromatic and visual tool.
3. Emphasize Important Phrases or Verses
Underline inspirational sayings or daily affirmations with scented highlighters. The aroma will instantly improve your mood each time you open your journal.
"You underestimate your strength." (highlighted in lavender to promote tranquility!)
4. Create Eye-Catching Weekly Spreads
Use only scented highlighters to create a color theme for your weekly or monthly spreads. Make use of them for checklist dots, date blocks, and headers.
5. Fragrant Study Guides
Students love this trick! When making mind maps or summaries, use various fragrances. Exam memory recall may be aided by the associated fragrance.
Plus, when your notebook smells like fruit salad, revision is a little more fun!
6. Imaginative Borders and Doodles
Use highlighters to draw entertaining elements like stars, hearts, clouds, or tiny banners. To give them a clean appearance, outline them later using a black fine liner.
Without requiring additional work, these fragrant borders give plain pages flair.
7. Section on Daily Gratitude
Create a daily gratitude log in your bullet journal and write or highlight your blessings with a scented highlighter.
The combination of scent and color makes the habit more pleasant and reliable.
8. Habit Tracker Highlights
Use a small swatch of scented highlighter to mark completed habits (such as "drank 2L water" or "read 10 pages"). Seeing your tracker fill up with lovely colors and aromas is inspiring.
9. Make Special Days Look Beautiful
Anniversary? Birthday? Day for self-care? Use a scented highlighter to draw attention to the task entry or date box. It makes you look forward to it and adds a positive vibe.
10. Apply It as a Stamp for Signatures
Make a distinctive highlighter stroke in your preferred fragrance at the conclusion of every week or entry. When a journaling session comes to an end, it becomes your little creative stamp.
Bonus: Excellent for children's journals as well!
