The calming home fragrances that’ll leave your space smelling serene

We’re feeling a whole lot of things during this era of social distancing, but an overall sense of calm certainly isn’t one of them.

One perk of staying indoors though, is that you have full control over how your space smells – and we’ll bet it’s filled with fragrances a whole lot more pleasant than the train station.

Want to whip up some banana bread or fill your living room with lavender to get the cosy aromas going? We support that. Want to cheat the system by lighting a candle, spritzing a room spray or setting up a diffuser instead? We support that even more.

So if you’re searching for scents to soothe your senses during this stressful time, we’ve rounded up the calming home fragrances bound to get your home smelling serene.

Elizabeth Arden

Elizabeth Arden White Tea Candle

Few things can calm like a cuppa – ‘I’ll put the kettle on’ is the universally used phrase in difficult scenarios for a reason. This is a comforting cup of tea in candle form, with hints of white tea, tonka bean and warm woods.

Circa Home

Circa Home Limited Edition Sea Salt & Vanilla Fragrance Diffuser

This diffuser was designed to celebrate the magic of mums, and the sea salt, vanilla and nectarine blend smells just about as comforting as a hug from mum feels.

  1. I'm using fragrances I have when in the mood for it. Or incense. Most of the time I prefer clean fresh air scent , especially of freshly cut grass from the park in front of my place.

  2. It's amazing how natural fragrances can affect your mood. I'm loving the Bosisto's range at the moment. Sleep is calming and soothing perfect on my pillow and Balance is a feel good fragrant blend of naturals oils just for women.

  3. The Elizabeth Arden candle sounds right up my alley – I love tonka bean & the product review page says it contains a trio of musks, too! Their Green Tea perfume is one of my summer faves, so I'd like to try this one out.
