As somebody who loves their home, you want it to smell beautiful all month long. But sometimes, nasty, lingering smells can enter the picture. The source of bad smells is often obvious – like dirty dishes on the sideboard. But sometimes, it is not.
How do you keep your home smelling wonderful? Easy. You can:
- Use DIY cleaning sprays
- Add vanilla sticks to your oven
- Sprinkle baking soda on your upholstery and carpets (and then vacuum it up later)
- Clean out your bins
- Add essential oils to your air filtered during AC repair
- Place a bowl of potpourri on your dining table
But what about adding a unique fragrance that goes beyond neutral? In this post, we take a look at some beautiful fragrances you can introduce to your home.
Sandalwood & Amber Scented Soy Candle
Sandalwood
If you want your home to smell like the outdoors, then you’ll want to experiment with sandalwood aromes. These create misty scents that make your property smell divine. Spray this scent throughout your home, focusing on your bed linens for additional cosineses at night.
Cedarwood – 100% Pure Beeswax Aromatherapy Candle
Cedarwood
Cedarwood is similar to sandalwood and a great way to make your home smell fresh from the outset. Many homeowners like to place the scent close to their front door so that it is the first thing guests experience as they enter the home.
Coconut Lime Verbena Soy Wax Candle
Verbena
Verbena scent is produced by the verbena plant. It is fruity and citrusy and helps to elevate the experience of spending time in your interiors. There are actually more than 150 species of verbena, each with slightly different smells. The most popular choice is Italian verbena, but there are many others too.
Orange Clove Botanical Aromatherapy Soy Candle
Orange
Orange is a common scent for household diffusers. Today, many brands include it in their products and sell them in fancy hotels and clubhouses.
If you like the smell of orange, introduce it to your study, home office or library. As a smell, it helps to foster relaxation and focus – two things that you need when you want to maximize your productivity.
Grapefruit & Mint Hand Poured Pure Soy Candle
Grapefruit
Sticking with the citrus theme, we have grapefruit. The smell of grapefruit isn’t as strong as many other scents. But that’s what makes it so appealing for your home. It isn’t overwhelming. Instead, it adds a subtle freshness to the background. Scent manufacturers will often mix it with coriander blossom and lily of the valley to add complexity to the smell.
Handmade Peppermint Rosemary Scented Candle
Peppermint
If you are feeling a little under the weather, you might want to try adding the smell of peppermint to your home. Peppermint has long been a fragrance associated with wellness and recovery, making it a great option for anyone who regularly gets headaches or migraines.
Eucalyptus
You can also try introducing eucalyptus to your home for a similar effect. This aromatic plant is beautiful, looks fresh and helps you to feel relaxed, like lavender. Spas often use it to improve the ambience customers experience during treatment.
If you buy eucalyptus plants, you can wait for them to dry out and then put the leaves in potpourri.
