Once the cold months are behind us, we open our windows, pull up our curtains and let nature’s scents and sounds enter our homes. Be it summer or spring, there’s something comforting and welcoming about the fresh air and daylight that naturally hits our window panes during the daytime.
While we prepare our homes for a fun summer season, put away our knits and woollens and bring out summer T shirts and dresses, we also switch up the scents and fragrances in our diffusers to match the happy summer vibe of the season.
Which scents should you go for this summer?
Here are the top 5 fragrance picks for the summer season.
Florals with a twist – No summer list would be complete without a floral note. Light, fresh floral scents are the epitome of summer fragrances and of course every house needs a floral scent. However, you don’t have to stick to strict floral scents. Feel free to tweak it a little bit by adding a hint of fruity or woody tones as well. In fact, Nathan Parker at Fragrance 365 strongly recommends uniquely mixed floral scents this summer.
Not sure how that would go?
Brands like Jo Malone and Chloe have a whole range of summer fragrances for homes infused with rich florals and nectarines and peaches. Rest assured, they are not your regular sweet smelling florals.
Tangerine and citrusy scents – Nothing shouts summer more than fresh tangerine and citrusy fragrances. They aptly pick the best part of summers, that is the fruits, and they leave your house smelling like a haven of an orchard. The only thing you need to keep in mind with these kinds of scents is not to overdo it, as citrusy ones are known to be quite strong smelling. Yet again, they don’t always have to be plain. A lot of brands have differently composed citrus smells infused with grapefruits, berries and guavas too.
Vanilla Ice-cream all the way – Who doesn’t like ice-creams in the summers? A delicious vanilla flavour for your home would provide the most welcoming and homely atmosphere for you and your guests. A lot of people do not prefer vanilla scents because of their “edible” quality, but apparently “edible scents” are the newest addition to the world’s most unique and increasingly popular home fragrances.
Beach in a bottle – Beaches are another highlight of the summer season. Now you can get one packed in a bottle and have it at home. A lot of brands have unique smelling fragrances of the beach and the sea, including the salty sea air or the amber and woody scents of the pebbles and plain fresh aqua infused scents as well.
Greens by all means – If you’re not a fan of floral or fruity scents, you can go for green infused fragrances for your home. From mints to basils to eucalyptuses, there is a whole range of interesting freshly chopped herb scents for green lovers to make your home a peaceful and relaxing abode of comfort. Green fragrances are popularly used in aromatherapy for various treatments.
