The right home fragrance has the power to create a separate zone away from the urban, setting a scene and creating an ambient environment away from the stresses of the world. Regardless if you favor an essential oil diffuser, candle or room sprays, this guide on scenting your home will help you create a harmonious home environment.
The Refreshing Room
Blends of citrus scents are one of the best ways to create a refreshing scent and stimulate the senses. I love scents like these for kitchens or bathrooms to help keep you alert and awake. Look for scents of orange, lemon, and bergamot for the ultimate citrus bust.

The Deep Sleep
If you struggle to switch off in the evening, I would always recommend a scent containing lavender. A blend of lavender, vetiver, and chamomile is the perfect way to relax and unwind, leading to deep and tranquil sleep. For an added soothing quality, look for extracts of sage for an earthy undertone.
The Fresh Air Blend
Certainly ideal for so many areas of the home, a fresh blend of rosemary, lemon or eucalyptus is not only deodorizing a room but also clarifying it. If you prefer fresher scents, this is the one for you, and I would recommend keeping an eye out for extracts of fresh pine for an added forest fresh touch.
The Hygge
Creating an atmosphere of warmth and contentment is after all one of my favorite ways to find comfort. The notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and star anise are a brilliant way to capture a somewhat festive scent whilst also creating an inviting environment.
