Scent-scaping is one of the easiest ways to elevate your home. Here’s how to do it right. The three pillars to scent-scaping with the right home fragrance pieces: cohesive, complementary and charming.
Think of scent-scaping as decorating the home with your nose. You’d be surprised at how incredibly rewarding this process can be. It’s a great way to take care of your sensory needs by creating an inviting experience for the different parts of your home.
It may seem like an unnecessary or overly-extravagant thing to do, but it’s a simple way to engage in self-care that can affect your mental state in a very big way. Knowing what kind of products to employ in the different spaces in your home can change the way you view or experience things.
Here are three easy rules to make sure you can become a scent-scaping pro!
Cohesive
Once you have decided on the fragrance family, it’s time to decide what kind of vessel to use. There are so many choices. Diffuser? Candle? Room Sprays? The choices are infinite. Choosing the right kind of vessel that compliments the space that you want to scent-scape is crucial.
Candles are perfect for a slow release of your favourite scent that travels far and fills the room. I also recommend candles for guest bedrooms as less people are coming in and out of these spaces.
Diffusers are great for common areas and hallways where there is a lot more action. This way, you can get the most out of your spend as diffusers have a limited life-span, unlike the candle.
Have you ever heard of the Diptyque Scented Oval? It is one of our favourite discoveries for scent-scaping that has absolutely changed the game. They are beautifully crafted scented ovals that can hang from your wardrobe or bathroom hooks. Due to its size, you can emit a controlled amount of fragrance that is perfect for smaller sized rooms and spaces or even drawers.
Room Sprays are a great option for a short-term and fast release of fragrance. Sometimes, waiting for a candle just takes too long. Keeping this handy in the kitchen or bathroom is an exceptional way to cover up any unwanted smells after an intense night of cooking or freshening up the bathroom space.

Charming
Don’t forget that a home fragrance falls under the category of interior design. These days, fragrance brands are coming out with some of the most beautifully decorated pieces that are full of character and charm. Finding a brand that speaks to you is one significant way to engage the visual aspects of scent-scaping.
Trudon is one of our favourite brands for home fragrance. Not only do they provide an in-depth range of home fragrances that are unbelievably classy, but the packaging is also just jaw-dropping. If you utilise golds, greens or beiges in your home- Trudon would be the perfect addition that won’t detract from your home style. If anything, it will only elevate your home in the most luxurious way.
Modern architecture calls for chic home fragrance pieces. Byredo candles are some of the most elegant candles I have ever seen. The black mouth-blown glass candles are sophisticated and quintessentially New York. It is a home accessory for those who want a stylish touch to their interior. The same applies for their room sprays which are also fabulously black and chic.
