Scents of Spring
As I was driving along the country lane today I noticed the snowdrops and crocus have popped out along the hedgerow and daffodil buds are starting to shoot – Spring is in the air which means it’s a time for new beginnings, lighter days and a good spruce and declutter of our homes! So I got thinking, as well as a good spring clean why not consider the smells that greet us as we enter a room too!
At this time of year, we tend to move away from the heavier, musky scents of winter to lighter florals, refreshing citrus and fragrant herbaceous notes, reflecting the changing of the seasons outdoors.
Spring Fragrances
Smell is perhaps one of the most impactful of the senses; Scent has the power to transform a room, and nothing brings that feeling of Spring more than light florals or zesty, uplifting citrus. Classic notes include Bergamot, Lemon and Orange, as well as floral notes like Rose and Geranium.
So with that in mind, let’s look at how to fragrance your home for spring.
A great way to make your home smell amazing is to use wax melts. They have a more intense aroma than scented candles, as more fragrance oil can be added. Also, as you do not directly burn wax melts, their fragrance oils are not destroyed while releasing their aroma.
Flicker & Scents Aromatherapy Collection of wax melts use pure essential oils to fragrance the wax, so as well as smelling beautiful the oils have therapeutic benefits and a positive effect on our wellbeing!
