Scent-sational Spring!
Just like a signature perfume, the perfect home fragrance has the ability to set the right tone for a room and make a space far more pleasant and welcoming. It can make a room fresh and inviting, as well as uplift the spirits! Aromatherapy is an ancient form of healing, so its no wonder that adding a good fragrance to the home can influence your mood.
As spring begins to set in and we begin to entertain more often, it’s more important than ever to set the atmosphere of your home. There’s no better feeling than hearing “it smells so nice in here!” when you have guests visit.
Read on for our tips on how to perfect incorporating fragrances to the home!
Reed Diffuser Vs. Candle
Both scented candles and reed diffusers have their own benefits. They both bring fresh, vibrant scents and fill every room with luxurious fragrance. However, it’s important to pick what works best for you and your home.
Candles are a favourite for a reason. They don’t just provide fragrance; they provide an experience. A flickering candle provides not only a vibrant aroma to any room, but magical candlelight. A scented candle is the perfect finishing touch to any room and can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and scents to compliment your home décor. If you’re one to dream of nights curled up admiring flickering light, a scented candle might be for you.
Reed diffusers, on the other hand, are for those who love a low maintenance way to add fragrance to the home. Placed anywhere, such as closets or bathrooms, reed diffusers don’t need to be activated or watched like a candle. Lasting up to six months, they will release their scent consistently throughout the day. They do the work for you!
When it comes to adding fragrance to the home, it’s entirely up to what works best for you and what experience you’d like to have. Most brands have scents available in both diffusers and candles, so you won’t have to sacrifice a favourite scent!
Scents for Spring
Home fragrances are seasonal, and different types work with different seasons. For example, winter scents typically consist of warm, spicier scents like caramel and cinnamon, perfect for chilly nights curled up by the fire.
But, with winter now behind us and the warmer days ahead, it’s the perfect time to welcome a new fragrance to the home. Spring is the season for starting fresh, bringing lighter and longer evenings, warmer weather, and colour to the garden.
The staple scents of spring? Fresh and florals. If there’s one word to describe this warmer season, its full of new life. To get into the spirit of the new season, try floral scents along the lines of ginger flowers and jasmine. It’ll give your home a much-needed refresh after a long, cold winter and bring an atmosphere of being surrounded by fresh blooming gardens.
Fresh scents such as citrus and herbs bring a light and airy feel to the home after the heavier and spicier aromas of winter. Think smells that remind you of the outdoors. Fresh grass, green tea, zesty orange or grapefruit, and fresh washing hanging out to dry on a sunny day all perfectly encapsulate the essence of spring.
There are so many different ways to bring spring in this season, and home fragrances will tie in perfectly with those open windows and sunny afternoons.
Whether you prefer fresh or floral, there’s bound to be something out there for you in the big wide world of home fragrance!
