Every home has a signature smell, whether it’s good or bad. As soon as you open the front door you get a whiff of the house’s scent. Oils and candles can give your home a certain vibe. Here’s how to choose the right fragrance for your home.
Signature Fragrance
A signature scent can take your house to a home. Just like your decor, you should put time into getting the right scent for your home.
There’s No “Wrong” Scent
There are no “right” or “wrong” scents, but some scents work better in certain rooms of your home and at different times of the year. Whether you want to use lemon during the summer or cinnamon during the winter, it’s really up to you and your preferences.
Soothing Scents
If you’re looking for something soothing, opt for aromas that lower cortisol and inspire calmness. Lavender and vanilla are great choices.
Citrus Scents
For a summery vibe, citrus scents like lemon, orange, and grapefruit will give you energy and reduce your stress.
Try New Things
Ginger, chai, and menthol aren’t typically used in homes as they’re bold and earthy. If you like these scents, give them a try and you may find your new favorite scent.
