For your bathroom it’s a good idea to go for something that smells fresh, rather than floral or overly perfumed – you want something that neutralizes any odor rather than masks it. We’d all love our bathroom to smell like a spa, so ocean spray, lemongrass, and ylang-ylang are all good scents to opt for.
Kitchens and gardens adore natural, herby scents. Jo Malone’s Green Tomato Vine scented candle is an industry favorite for precisely this reason. Herby and citrusy scents like thyme, mandarin and basil also work well, and it goes without saying that odor-neutralizing candles (like Price’s Chef’s candle) are perfect for balancing out any cooking smells.
You can go a little more personal with your living room and bedroom scents. Opt for smells that make you feel most happy and relaxed – this can range from fresh florals to spa-like scents to create your very own sanctuary. Layering different scents throughout your home is a great way to make each space feel fresh and distinct, as you notice the subtle shifts in scent as you walk from room to room.
