Choosing The Perfect Scent?
Here are some top suggestions for scent choices for the festive season:
- Warm and spicy: Draw on the traditional “flavours” of Christmas and choose scents that create a cosy atmosphere in your home. This could include ginger, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and frankincense. These scents bring back memories of your granny baking biscuits for all the kids, for example.
- Fresh and energising: For a more energised atmosphere, choose the refreshing fragrance of peppermint, eucalyptus or citrus. These scents will clear the mind and increase energy levels.
- Ocean breeze: In the heat of summer, you may want to opt for scents that provide a cool, refreshing sense rather than warm and cosy. Choose salty or aquatic notes to remind guests of a fresh ocean breeze.
- Tropical paradise: Transport your guests to an island holiday destination right in the comfort of your own home. The scents of pineapple, coconut and mango are perfect for creating a summery holiday atmosphere.
Tips for Using Fragrance Oils
- Correct dilution: It is best to dilute fragrance oils to avoid irritation and overscenting. Follow the instructions on the packaging for the best results.
- Choose the dispersion method: Fragrance oils can be used with reed diffusers, ultrasonic diffusers and oil burners. Choose the option that is correct for the size of the room.?
- Strategic placement: Position your device in a central position in the room to make sure the scent is evenly distributed.??
