What better way to usher the dull, grey and cold winter air out of your home than with some fresh and invitingly green scents that bring the spring in? Think of the warmer and brighter days that make you feel hopeful and optimistic as you fill your lungs with soft aromas wafting through the sky on your morning commute. As nature renews itself and comes alive again with blossoming trees that gently sway in warmer breezes and the sweetest fruits grow colourful and juicy, how great would it be to heighten this sensory experience in your home?
Think: bergamot, honeysuckle and soft linen…
Go {candle} crazy with decorative aromatherapy this spring-time and inhale some of the most refreshing scents that’ll excite all your senses and open up your living space.
1. Overose Nudesse Candle
Evoking warmth and freshness, {Overose}’s smooth and ultra-creamy rose scent travels through your home with the same delicacy that morning dew drops would on pink petals. This picturesque and arguably #shelfie worthy candle instantly boosts your mood by inviting sweet and honeyed from the fresh flowers, in. Lingering in the air for a long time and not just a long time, this super-chic mauve-toned wax candle would make the perfect fixture in your bedroom, living room or bathroom.
2. Replica – Lazy Sunday Morning
Bed hair, last night’s shoes somewhere by the front door and ruffled sheets being gently kissed by the pockets of sunlight peering through the curtains. It’s that time of the week again. Luxurious powerhouse Maison Margiela have created a scent-gasmic line of fragrances within the {Replica} range. The same brand that blessed our noses with {By The Fireplace} and {Jazz Club} have now encapsulated what a {Lazy Sunday Morning} feels like in a candle. With delicate top notes of white musk and lily of the valley, and middle notes of rose, iris and orange blossom, this floral yet woody candle is the perfect sensory experience for a light morning in spring. Spark the wick while you tidy up the Saturday night’s shenanigans and reset for the week ahead…
