Best Brands to Make Your Home Smell Amazing
As someone who is extremely particular when it comes to scents, I appreciate how personal and impactful they can be. I am drawn towards fresh, slightly floral and citrus fragrances. I have smelled a lot, bought a lot, and thrown away a lot. So I can’t help but get warm and fuzzy inside when visitors to my home ask, “what smells so good” and “where’d you get it?” Below are my 3 tried and true brands for my go-to scents that I am forever loyal to. They also make the perfect housewarming and end of project gifts for my clients!
CALDREA
I discovered Caldrea upon receiving their Ginger Pomelo surface cleaner as a gift- have been hooked to the brand since. I quickly went down the Caldrea online rabbit hole, checking out all their products, and reading countless reviews across company websites. I was looking for a room spray and decided the Rosewater Driftwood scent was going to be the one. I am pleased to declare it is my official favorite room spray. It is so light, airy and feminine; I imagine this is what an English cottage's rose garden smells like. I receive endless compliments and I always make sure I have a backup on hand.
ROSE WATER DRIFTWOOD LINEN & ROOM SPRAY $15
VOLUSPA
I became familiar with Voluspa during my Nordstrom days. It naturally became a go to for clients who were in need of additional gifts for the holidays. This brand is extremely elegant; their scents are diverse and rich, their packaging is absolutely exquisite, and you can reuse the empty containers for storage, planting, etc. Mokara has been my staple home scent for over 15 years. If you like orchid and gardenia then this is for you. I enjoy both their candles and room diffusers. The room diffuser is low maintenance, can be refilled and perfect for candle free homes. They provide a constant subtle aroma throughout the room.
MOKARA REED DIFFUSER $16
WORLD MARKET
Part of the Bed Bath & Beyond family this incredible store is Homegoods with Anthropologie vibes. Their candles are a MUST at a great price. They use essential oils and burn evenly. A quality candle should use beeswax, coconut wax or other natural waxes with essential oils. This allows the candle to burn at slow and even pace. Moroccan Peony is my #1. The scent is sweet, tangy, floral, with notes of hibiscus and orange flower. I buy the 3 wick style and then use the white glass jar for potting once finished.
MOROCCAN PEONY 3 WICK CANDLE $17
What I love about the above brands is not only their quality and variety in warm, woody, oriental or fresh scents but also how diverse their product offering. Whether you are looking for candles, soaps, diffusers, room sprays or cleaning products, you can have every room of your house smelling beautifully. Each brand's products are long lasting and truly worth every penny!

Enjoy!
