Subliminal Home Fragrances: Why Less Is More

In years gone by, homemakers would have to be quite inventive with their home fragrance options. Things like scented pillow cases or sachets to drop into a vacuum cleaner and spread around the home have long been known to freshen up our homes. Depending on your age, you may remember opening a cupboard, draw or wardrobe in your grandmother or even great grandmother's house and being overwhelmed by the instant aroma. The techniques used previously were potent and certainly hit you immediately. Nowadays, home fragrance scents are more subtle and we wanted to explore some of the options available below; Why Are Home Fragrances So Popular Today? It is the ease of use and the quality of product that draws people in. Essential oils allow a natural flow and trace of a scent to slowly take over a room and do not cost a lot. A scented candle for example does not have to be lit to offer value as it emits its aroma when unlit which many do not know. This makes it effortless to make your home smell inviting, you don’t even have to try very hard and that in itself is a big seller. Stylish fragrances are portable more often than not and sustainable wax has captured the interest of the masses too. Current Trends There has been a move away from the endless amount of artificially produced fragrances that have arguably damaged the reputation and social standing of home fragrance. People had become reluctant to put such as produced, cheap smells into their homes and who could blame them? Homeowners can now rely on stylish and trendy fragrances to make elegant home features with superior artisanal scented candles and diffusers widely available. Additionally a significant shift towards sustainable living has heavily influenced the home fragrance world. Now, more than ever, products are being manufactured with natural ingredients as society starts to appreciate the environmentally friendly possibilities on offer across the board. Home fragrances are no different, with natural oils able to fill handmade ceramics, the use of beeswax to make the finest scented candles and even the containers that house the fragrances can be created with crystal glass. Best locations For Home Fragrances? To truly execute the primary objective of noticing, taking in and admiring a smell rather than have it inflicted on us and stick there, both scent and location of distribution are very important. If less really is more then the trick is to strike a balance between achieving a subtle aroma that maintains effect throughout but not one that you perceive constantly. A whiff of fragrance that catches you unaware is far more impactful than a prolonged permanent smell that can lose novelty pretty quickly. To maximise potential but without overwhelming the recipient choosing a residence for your chosen home fragrance. Diffusers suit the bathroom area more than scented candles as they are largely vacated zones that are used sporadically. Living areas and reception areas are prime opportunities for plug-ins or scented candles for example. Keep them away from food preparation areas and places where you eat. You don't want any fragrance to distract you from enjoying your meals. Focus on mint essences and citric vibes as a base for sprays and diffusers.
