Floral Scents For Your Home (And Their Benefits)

Have you ever walked into a home that had a beautiful scent? If so, you’ll know what a profound impression it can make. There’s nothing quite like it. You feel like you’re strolling through a pristine glade on a fresh spring morning. Well, nearly.

Anyway, in this post, we take a look at some of the floral scents that you might want to fill your home with and some of the benefits that they offer.

Wooden Wick Lavender Candle

Lavender

Lavender is a flower that people have been using for thousands of years because of its profound medicinal properties. Not only does it smell great, but it also has an uncanny ability to calm the mind. People who regularly take lavender report feeling healthier, happier and more content with life than many of their counterparts. No wonder homeowners want it permeating every room!

The MISTY DAY Candle

Lily

Lily is another popular option. It doesn’t have quite the same pungency as lavender, but it is still beautiful, fragrant and perfumy.

Lilies are uplifting in their own way. They don’t just reduce anxiety. Instead, they help you to feel more joyful every day of your life. They remind you that life is primarily about being playful in everything that you do.

Peony soy candle

Peony

Peony is a lesser-known flower, but one that you’ll want to keep in your home. Its smell has elements of citrus and ginger and, for that reason, it is a great antidote for things like migraines and headaches. You’ll notice that having peony in your home makes you feel far less tense.

Garden Mint 8 oz Soy Candle

Mint

While mint isn’t strictly speaking a floral scent, it can be a wonderful accompaniment to your home. Mint has a powerful aroma, particularly if you use it as essential oils in a diffuser.

What makes it so good? Well it’s not just the smell. Mint is a proven pest deterrent. After using proven pest control near me, many people have been using mint to keep pests at bay. It contains powerful compounds that smell good to us but are actually a turn off for other creatures.

Hyacinth + Sea Salt Candle

Hyacinth

Hyacinth flowers are big and beautiful. When you walk into a well-maintained and planned garden, they are often the first thing that you see.

Most hyacinth flowers have between four and six reflexed petals. To make them even more attractive, they tend to bloom in dense clusters, comprising dozens of individual flowers, attracting wildlife from miles around.

The great thing about this scent is that it deters pests. You can keep them fresh in your home in a vase, or include dried leaves in your pot pourri. You might also try to find hyacinth essential oils and put them in your diffuser if you have the option to do so.

Green Tea and Lemongrass Scented Candle

Lemongrass

Lemongrass is another popular home smell and pairs beautifully with coconut (just as it does in food).

Why choose lemongrass? Simple really: it helps your home smell unique and interesting. Plus, it has a powerful ability to mask outdoor smells from agricultural activity and pollution.
