USE YOUR SCENTS

MAKE YOUR HOUSE A SUMPTUOUS HOME BY ADDING THESE GORGEOUS FRAGRANCES INTO YOUR ROOMS

Ever walked into a luxury five-star resort, or maybe your favourite shop and felt instantly calm and/ or happy? There’s good reason for that. More often than not aromatic diffusers are used to help awaken your senses. It could be a calming lavender blend, or perhaps rejuvenating citrus. Here are some of our favourite home fragrance tips:

MIX IT UP

Don’t be afraid to mix your favourite fragrances. If there are two scents you love, burn them next to each other. Kirsten Walker of Palm Beach Collection recommends using a buffer fragrance in hallways and connecting areas. “Palm Beach Collection Sea Salt [pictured] is the ideal ‘buffer’ as it re-sets the senses and is refreshing without being overpowering,” she says.

REST UP

The bedroom and other quiet areas of the home are supposed to be relaxing and a place to switch off. “The perfect match for these spaces are sensual and soothing fragrances. Notes of musk and floral are the perfect combination to create a calm ambience,” says Kirsten.

BEST FOR LIVING AREAS

And, when choosing a fragrance for busier living areas Kirsten suggests looking to sweet and fruity scents. “Not only do these scents gently fill the room with uplifting summery notes, they will also create a refreshed and comfortable atmosphere,” she advises.
