Home fragrances can enhance your home, creating a comforting, uplifting or even luxurious atmosphere. With so many scents to choose from, how do you find the perfect one for your home? Here are 4 tips below:

1. Consider the Mood You Want to Create

Scents have the power to influence emotions. Ask yourself: how do you want to feel in your home?

  • Relaxed & Calm – Lavender, sandalwood and vanilla create a peaceful, soothing environment, perfect for bedrooms and quiet spaces.

  • Energised & Refreshed – Citrus scents like lemon, bergamot, and orange blossom bring a bright, uplifting feel to living areas or home offices.

  • Cozy & Warm – Cinnamon Orange, cedar and myrrh add depth and warmth, making them ideal for colder months or intimate spaces.

  • Balanced & Grounded – Earthy fragrances like patchouli and eucalyptus bring a sense of harmony and stability, great for meditation areas.

2. Match Your Scent to the Room

Different rooms serve different purposes, when you choose a home fragrance it should complement the purpose of the space, for example:

  • Living Room: Warm, inviting scents like vanilla or nag champa set a welcoming tone.
  • Bedroom: Soft florals like jasmine or roses encourage relaxation and restful sleep.

  • Kitchen: Fresh, clean fragrances such as citrus lemon or tea tree help neutralize cooking odors and maintain a crisp atmosphere.

  • Bathroom: Eucalyptus or citronella add a refreshing spa-like touch.

  • Workspace: Focus-enhancing scents like rosemary or bergamot can improve concentration and productivity.

3. Experiment and Layer

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to fragrance. Try layering complementary scents to create a unique aroma that evolves throughout the day. For example, blend vanilla with citrus for a sweet yet invigorating aroma or mix sandalwood with jasmine for a relaxing yet elegant scent profile.

4. Trust Your Instincts

The above examples are guides, the best scent is the one that feels right to you, trust your instincts. Follow your intuition and choose fragrances that bring you joy, comfort, and inspiration to your space.
