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.
