How To Make Your Home Or Room Smell Great

By Dressmeupbuttercup @hazelsalcedo

I wasn’t fully aware that I have a crazy obsession with home/room scents until I realized I have these things scattered all over the room I share with two of my sisters! I just knew I love picking and smelling these things up when I see one. I’m a curious cat like that. I like the smell of spa places so I’m pretty sure that’s the reason behind all these room fragrances.

Here are some products you can try to make your home/room smell great! And check out below to find out which is my latest find! :)

Scented Candle

I like lighting up this lavender cedarwood scented candle whenever I take a long bath. Although I was kind of disappointed because this doesn’t entirely fill the bathroom with lavender scent as I thought it would, I learned to live with the limitation of scented candles. Or that of cheap, department-store-bought ones. My wishlist: Diptyque scented candles, please! 

Fragrance Diffuser

On cozy (rainy) nights that I just want to relax and read a good book, I dip a stick and allow the oil to sip through. The subtle scent is enough to keep me feeling comfy, and for a moment I feel like my life is in order (although in reality, it isn’t). I already finished a whole bottle of lavender fragrance diffuser I bought from the department store (the brand is called at home). 

So, it was time to buy a new one! Look what I found while browsing through a Bench store (if you’re following me on Instagram you probably have seen it already). I didn’t know they carry home products, or maybe I wasn’t really just paying attention before. 

Daphne Home Scents have 3 variants available — Mint Jasmine Infusion, Acres of Lavender, and Green Forest Pine. I bought the last one (as pictured above) for Php349. It smells refreshing! 

TIP! Allow 15-20 minutes for the fragrance oil to be absorbed by the stick then flip it over so that the soaked part will be exposed into the air. 

Room Spray

Easy way to make the room smell great instantly is by spraying room fragrance! Unlike scented candle or fragrance diffuser which could take time in bringing out the scent to the room, room sprays take effect immediately. I like Zen Zest Aromatherapy Room Fragrance. I bought the one labeled as “Uplifting,” and its invigorating scent easily makes me upbeat. The other room spray you can try is the one from Messy Bessy. It’s linen spray but it says in the packaging that it can also be used as room spray. It contains lavender essential oil, rosemary essential oil, and water, and that’s it. This is your best bet if you want an all-natural room fragrance.
