Scents to suit your interiors style

Ah, the candle. It’s the ultimate mood-setter but can be, surprisingly, difficult to pick, especially with so many scent options out there. So to help you out, we’ve pulled together a guide of the best home fragrance based on your interiors style. Whether you love minimal Scandi design or are all about maximalist glamour, we have the scented candle or room diffuser to match.

Cool Scandi


THE STYLE

The achingly cool Scandi aesthetic favours a calm colour palette, so try getting creative with texture and using natural finishes to create a simple yet inviting setting. Nature really is key here – you’ll find wood finishes, stone accents, a proud display of house plants and sumptuous layers of wool and faux fur in any Scandi space. It’s all about where grounded neutrals meet nature, striking the perfect balance between minimalism and warm cosiness.

THE SCENT

If your home embodies that same understated simplicity, skip the florals and go for wonderfully fresh, herby scents. Thyme, basil and lime are a great place to start – these notes will fill your space with fresh, zingy energy. Pick-me-up scents such as pine and cedar are great options, too. And if your home is heavily leaning on the minimalist side, consider a stronger, full-bodied fragrance which will add a comforting sense of depth to any room.

Glam maximalism


THE STYLE

With glamorous maximalism, more is more. Rich colours, bold patterns and statement accessories are key. Taking inspiration from old Hollywood glamour, a hint of Art Deco, oriental influences and everything else in between, this style is characterised by unapologetic mixing-and-matching of different design elements and letting your imagination run wild. In this space, anything goes.



THE SCENT

If this sounds like your home, floral fusions that pair crisp top notes with a rich, woody base are a great fit. Consider experimenting with less-than-traditional combinations to give your space an extra edge. The pairing of flowers and tobacco, for example, might seem a little strange at first but trust us, the result is mesmerising.

Ooud will add an exotic flavour but consider bergamot and patchouli as less intense options if smoky woods are not your thing. The trick with this style is to think bigger and bolder – your one-of-a-kind abode deserves a one-of-a-kind scent too.

Pretty bohemian


THE STYLE

A beautiful juxtaposition of laid-back quirkiness and nomadic vibes, boho interiors pair vintage finds, tribal-inspired patterns, rich textiles and meaningful trinkets from far-away travels. Whilst every bohemian home is different, ultimately it's all about letting your wanderlust and artistic expression show. In a house like this, we're pretty sure even a simple rattan basket oozes personality. 

THE SCENT

If your interiors embrace a bohemian spirit, don’t settle for simple in the scent department. You’ll want a fragrance that compliments your eclectic scheme.

Tobacco, pepper and cardamom are unconventional but intoxicating. Pair with the more familiar notes of mandarin, orange blossom and jasmine to layer up a rich, intense perfume. Scents can conjure a serious sense of place so if you’re reminiscing about that trip to India you went on years ago, look out for notes such as champak, sandalwood and clove. Definitely cheaper than a plane ticket.
