When fabricating a story, many people gaze up and away to their right.
Looking up and to the left is something many people do when trying to remember a real event.
A person who is convincing looks at you directly, takes their time, appears calm and speaks quietly and confidently. And they smell clean.
There is a link between a clean scent and the perception that someone is virtuous.
People who wear citrus-based scents are apparently perceived as being virtuous and trustworthy.
A study found that people are also more likely to behave virtuously in a lemon-scented room.
If behaviour at your home, school or office leaves less to be desired, tidy up. Try scenting the air with citrus essential oils.
