Sometimes it only takes the perfect scent to tie your room together and elevate it from being just a room to being a place you can take joy in occupying. The right fragrance can evoke a range of moods and reactions such as happiness, serenity, and deep relaxation. Whether you opt to use a scented oil diffuser or some luxury candles, you will be able to choose from a plethora of wonderful scents. Having so many options means that it can be hard to find the one that you like the most, and that’s why we’ve written up a list of six fantastic room scents (and scent blends) you need to try this year. 

Fig and Cassis

One of the rarer exotic scent blends is that of fig and cassis. The sweet fragrance of freshly cut figs, blended together with the dreamy scent of cassis (blackcurrants) is one that’s sure to delight no matter what room it’s in. 

Delight Homewares has a fig and cassis luxury candle that is a must have! All of their candles are hand crafted in their workshop in Sydney and they are made out of high quality fragrance oils, lead free cotton wicks, and natural soy wax. These candles have a burn time of up to 48 hours, so they are designed to last!

Japanese Honeysuckle

If you are more particular to floral fragrances, then Japanese honeysuckle is perfect for you. The warm, elegant, energetic scents of grape, neroli, and nectar will bring a sense of zen to any room, and bring to mind images of walking through a beautiful garden on a calm day. 

Milk & Moon Candle Co. have both candles and reed diffusers available with the Japanese honeysuckle scent. The candles are made out of 100% soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks, and the reeds used in the diffuser are quality and made to last. 

Tobacco and Vanilla

Few fragrances are as luxuriously seductive as tobacco and vanilla. Composed of the masculine tobacco leaf middle notes with a subtle hint of soft vanilla and tonka bean, this fragrance blend is gloriously self-indulgent and is a great earthy scent to unwind to after a long week at work. 

Hence the Zen has a tobacco and vanilla luxury candle with a burn time of 40 hours. The candles come with wooden wicks which crackle charmingly as they burn down. 

Salted Caramel

A decadent favourite for those with a sweet tooth, salted caramel as a fragrance is just as enjoyable. The scents of caramelized sugar and rich buttery cream make for a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for time spent relaxing or with friends. 

Sydney based artisan emmeluxe has handmade salted caramel carnation floral reed diffusers that adds instant luxury to your home. Made of white glass and a rose gold cap, these unique diffusers use a handmade white rice paper flower attached to a cotton wick as the scent diffuser. 

Egyptian Musk

If you prefer something on the lavish, sensual side, then Egyptian musk is the right fragrance choice. Masculine, earthy, and opulent, this is a scent guaranteed to elevate any space in your home. 

Sticks & Stones Candle Co. has an original soy wax Egyptian musk candle that comes in a matte white glass jar with a bamboo lid.  In addition to the quality soy wax, the candles are made from premium fragrance oils and the cotton wicks are free of both lead and zinc. They are also cruelty free, 100% vegan and have a burn time between 45 to 50 hours.

Vanilla Bourbon

For a very unusual fragrance, consider THE ROCKS candle from Out on the Town Candles. Featuring the warm blend of vanilla, musk, amber, and malt, this popular fragrance is sure to become a fast favourite.

These candles are made to order by hand from 100% soy wax and come with either a double cotton wick or wood wick, based on your choice.

Given how unique, luxurious, and mood-inspiring these scents are, it wouldn’t be surprising if you decided to try them all. These candles and diffusers are made from quality materials and give you plenty of burn and scent time, so why not try some out in different rooms of your home this year?
