Citrus, Bamboo, and Tubero: 7 Refreshing Home Scents to Welcome Spring
Embrace Spring with These 7 Invigorating Home Scents
As the new year begins, we often find ourselves yearning for the warmth of spring’s first rays. While it’s still too early to shed our winter layers and stroll through the park, we can bring the essence of spring into our homes with these seven refreshing scents.
1. Reed Diffuser
The Italian brand Culti Milano offers a delicate yet sensual floral fragrance called “Acqua”. This refreshing scent is complemented by notes of tubero, softened with vanilla, peach, and cooled with musk. The entire Culti Milano collection is designed with elegant simplicity, making it a perfect fit for any interior. The romantic aroma is ideal for the living room, and the glass diffuser with rattan reeds blends seamlessly into any decor.
To adjust the intensity of the fragrance, simply add or remove reeds. Keep the diffuser away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent rapid evaporation.
2. Incense Sticks
The original “Black Vanilla” incense sticks combine the sweet notes of praline and vanilla with bright floral and explosive citrus accents. This dessert-like aroma instantly uplifts your mood, boosting your energy and productivity.
The base notes include praline, milk, musk, fruits, citrus, and vanilla. These incense sticks are best suited for larger rooms. In smaller spaces, burn them halfway to avoid an overpowering scent.
3. Aromatic Candle
L’Occitane, a brand specializing in natural cosmetics inspired by the beauty and healing power of Provence, offers a Lavender aromatic candle. This candle transports you to the heart of the famous lavender fields of Valensole plateau, bypassing the dreary days of February and the slow arrival of spring.
The candle comes in a convenient, brightly colored tin with a lid to keep it dust-free between uses.
4. Sachet
One of the oldest forms of aromatherapy, sachets filled with crushed flowers and herbs, remains an affordable and simple way to keep your linens smelling fresh. The British brand Wax Lyrical’s “Flowering Garden” line features a succulent fig aroma with hints of mirabelle plum and ripe apricot, underpinned by warm spices like cinnamon and vanilla. These mini sachets will impart a bright, sophisticated fragrance to your linens.
5. Japanese Candle
The cult American brand Voluspa’s “Nissho Soleil” fragrance is perfect for immersing yourself in a hot, exotic summer. It opens with light notes of pineapple and mandarin, followed by a sweet, creamy vanilla undertone. The candle from the Japanese collection comes in a luxurious colored glass jar with embossed patterns and a screw-top lid for easy extinguishing.
6. Scented Ironing Water
Give your linens a refreshing aroma while ironing by using specially scented water in your steam iron. While some daring homemakers attempt to make their own, it’s not recommended as it can lead to stains or damage to your iron.
Instead, trust the professionals and opt for quality perfumed water like “Wild Bamboo”. This water adds a light aroma of orange blossom and jasmine with a bright, exotic bamboo note to your fabrics.
7. Fabric Spray
The elegant home and fabric spray “Champagne Splashes” should not be placed next to perfumes, as its chic bottle can be easily mistaken for body fragrance. This complex citrus scent combines the aroma of Satsuma mandarin with floral lily of the valley notes, accented by the sweetness of apricot and passion fruit with a hint of blackcurrant. Use it as a linen spray or a home fragrance.
