Citrus in the kitchen

The kitchen is already a room in the home that is full of all kinds of different smells, from smoked meats to fresh vegetables. Picking a fragrance that either complements or eliminates these is of great importance. 

Citrus is brilliant, bold, and crisp, and helps to eliminate those scents that are already present in the kitchen. Other fragrances of this family include lemon, lime, orange, and bergamot.

Relaxing lavender for the bedroom

Bedrooms are places for relaxation after a long day. That's why calming aromas work best in these rooms. Lavender has a wonderfully fresh, floral, clean, and calm scent. Research shows that the scent of lavender helps to lower heart rate and blood pressure, putting you in a relaxed state. 

To set yourself up for a good night's sleep, put a handful of dried lavender in a vase on your nightstand—or use a diffuser with lavender oil. For a more romantic bedroom atmosphere, you can also opt for ylang ylang, jasmine, or rose.

Soothing sandalwood in the living room

Sandalwood has been used for centuries to tackle all kinds of health problems. The benefits of this essential oil are related to its properties as an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, astringent, diuretic, and memory booster. 

The scent is soft and agreeable, making it the perfect aroma for your living area where you are most likely to entertain your guests. 

Peppermint for the home office

The office is a space for concentration, so choosing a scent that promotes this is key. Fresh, nostalgic, and instantly recognizable, the scent of peppermint invigorates the mind and the senses, while inspiring a feeling of peace. 

When your day is dragging—through a workout, class, or a hard day at work—this refreshing aroma will give you a boost of positivity and energy. Peppermint is great for diffusing on its own or with compatible scents such as lavender, rosemary, spearmint, or sage.

Brew a custom scent for the kitchen

Want to make your own scent? What better place than in the kitchen! In order to diffuse any scent throughout the home, turn on the stove, simmer water in a saucepan, and add citrus slices and herbs, such as lavender or mint. 

The best thing about brewing your own scents is that you can customize them depending on the time of the year. For spring and summer, fresh and light scents like grapefruit or tangerine will really boost your spirits. During the autumn and months, baked goods like banana or pumpkin bread and cinnamon rolls produce a similar result.

Choose wisely between candles and diffusers

When trying to find the perfect scent for each room, the method of dispersion matters. You can use a diffuser to fill an entire room with an aroma, and you can easily set these down and forget about them. 

Diffusers come in many different shapes, styles, and colours, so choosing one to match your interior should be no problem at all. Candles, on the other hand, are better for a more intimate even, like dinner or a bath, because they don't just offer a great scent, but also ambience. Just don't leave them unattended!
