Heaven Scent: 15 Of The Best Room Scents

Whether invigorating your senses or unwinding, enhance your mood at home with these beautiful room scents.

Styling your home with fragrance is a great sensory way to create an immediate mood within your living spaces. Think invigorating scents to accompany your morning shower and cosy gourmand fragrances to snuggle up with by the fire come evening. We have rounded up five different scent profiles to pair with different spaces in your home to inspire, plus 15 home fragrances to get you in the mood.

Lavender





Lavender is a classic choice for the bedroom as it is renowned for its calming and snooze-inducing properties. Spritz your linens with a sleep mist to help you unwind or pop a reed diffuser on the windowsill for a room filled with cocooning calm.

Citrus





Zesty aromas are great for the kitchen to create an uplifting zing. They’re also effective at masking kitchen smells – perfect for open-plan living when you don’t want strong scents to linger.

Eucalyptus





Eucalyptus will instantly transform any bathroom space into a spa-like oasis. The crisp, clean scent brings clarity and rejuvenating properties and a tub-side candle is great for a relaxing bath. Or why not try a misting diffuser to fill a small space effectively?

Vanilla





Vanilla can often be a sickly, artificial scent but when blended well it adds warmth and comfort to a cosy living room. Look for diffusers or candles with vanilla or tonka top notes and a darker amber or sandalwood base to balance the sweetness for the perfect hygge scent.

Sandalwood





Sandalwood is a great choice for a home office as it fosters focus and tranquility while offering grounding and de-stressing properties. The woody, earthy fragrance can help with concentration and productivity - perfect for study areas, or #wfh set-ups.
