For all things candle and home fragrance making!
The best fragrance to match each room in your home
The right fragrance sets the tone, creates the right atmosphere, and adds the final touch to your room. Often, people use their personal tastes in furniture and home accessories to create an individual look and feel to their home. By adding a bespoke fragrance to your surroundings, you can enhance your home to be even more personal to you.
Hallways/Entrance
This is the first place you and your guest see and smell, so give this cosy space a big impact with a scent that will invite them in. We would recommend a woody and spicy scent as it’s inviting and strong for a great first impression. Our first choice would be Cedarwood & Jasmine Fragrance Oil, it has camphoraceous base notes of woodsy, balsamic cedarwood, which is complemented with fresh floral top notes of Jasmine. This scent smells very luxurious, cosy, and inviting.
Living Rooms
You probably spend most of your time in your living room, entertaining guests, watching a film with the family, or relaxing, so we advise a scent that will enhance these activities. A floral and rich scent is a great way to add warmth to your living room. Our Lilly of the Valley Fragrance Oil will do just that, it has notes of lilac, rose, geranium, and delicate green leaf all settled on a musky base. If you have guests round and want to create a lively and fun astrosphere why not choose a fruity scent. Our Lime Basil & Mandarin Fragrance Oil is one of our most popular fruity scents. It has notes of peppery basil and aromatic white thyme which brings an unexpected twist to the scent of limes on a Caribbean breeze. Turn your living room into a tropical paradise, ready to party!
Bathrooms
You always want your bathroom smelling fresh and using reed diffusers are perfect as they don’t take up a lot of space and they are always releasing fragrance. We suggest using clean and crisp scents to add a luxury touch. Our Aloe Vera & Cucumber Fragrance Oil has an uplifting aroma of real Aloe Vera and light and crisp notes of freshly chopped cucumber creating a fresh and clean aroma. If you’re looking for a more familiar home scent, why not opt for linen and ocean scents that will make your bathroom feel airy and fresh. Our Aqua Minerals & Sea Kelp Fragrance Oil is perfect for the bathroom as it’s cool and fresh. This fragrance unfolds with a bold citrus fusion of bergamot, lemon, lime, and sweet mandarin, harmonised by a floral bouquet of cyclamen, freesia, rose & jasmine. These unique aromas are enhanced by a rush of watery marine notes, resting on a fond of musk, amber, cedar, patchouli & moss.
Dining Room & Kitchen
Kitchens and dining rooms can be very busy rooms, cooking, eating, and partying! As the kitchen is already home to hundreds of amazing scents, you may want to opt for a fragrance that isn’t too potent. Avoiding floral, spicy, and woody scents and opting for citrus and herbaceous. They are perfect scents for the dining room as they often complement the natural inviting scents and aromas. We recommend using essential oils as they are highly fragrant and are derived naturally from the plant it originates from. Our Rosemary Essential Oil, Grapefruit Essential Oil, or Bergamot Essential Oil would work wonderfully as they won’t be overpowering and will keep your room smelling fresh.
Our Rosemary Essential Oil is extracted from Rosmarinus officinalis. It has a powerful refreshing herbaceous scent, which is cool and crisp. Our Grapefruit Essential Oil is bursting with sweet citrus aromas. Bergama of the Rutaceae family and is also known as Bergamot orange. The scent of the oil has a base of citrus, yet fruity and sweet, with a warm spicy floral quality and is reminiscent of neroli as well as lavender oil.
Top Tip! If you’re dining outside, why not indulge in a citronella candle, designed to keep the flies away as it’s a natural insect repellent. Citronella oil has a powerful citrus aroma, bursting with a crisp, lemon, and grassy scent. A lovely summer scent that is bound to keep the bugs away.
Bedroom
For your bedroom, you want to create a relaxing or romantic atmosphere. In order to create the perfect place to relax and get a good nights sleep, we suggest using a scent that boasts a calming atmosphere such as lavender or chamomile. Luckily, we have a fragrance oil with both! Our Lavender & Chamomile Fragrance Oil is a refreshing blend of chamomile and lavender with camphoraceous and lime top notes. It will create a calming atmosphere to help you unwind. Lavender is also known for helping reduce stress and improve sleep, perfect for the bedroom which for most people is where we relax and unwind.
To create a romantic feel use a floral, musky, and woody scent, like rose, jasmine, or ylang-ylang. For a sensual aroma, we recommend our Indian Rose & Musk Fragrance Oil. A multi-floral accord with notes of aldehydes, ylang & orange flower, cyclamen & Jasmin, musk & woods.
These are our suggestions for fragrances based on the functions of each room. You can mix up your home fragrances through the seasons, summer with something fruity like our Tropical Fragrance Oil and for the winter a Christmas scent like A Merry Morning Fragrance Oil.
