Be it in a candle, diffuser or oil burning – we love to fill our homes with luxurious smells. It can evoke a mood of your choice, to personalize your home whether you prefer a cosy, warm atmosphere or a fresh, cool one. The time of year means that friends and family are coming over for those Christmas gatherings and dinner parties- so let’s have your home smelling amazing, in style of course, and lasting all night long too..
Be sure to impress your guests with one of our top picks for the best Home Fragrances around..
La Montana
La Montana candles might bring you into a little bit of summertime vibe – with their range of candles inspired by the founders’ new life in a Spanish mountain village. These big candles will fill your home with a little Mediterranean goodness – they even have an Alfredo’s Cafe scent.
We like the idea of the Winter Oranges fragrance for this season for a warm spicy blend of Valencia orange. You might even be able to fool visitors into thinking you’ve been slaving over sweet mulled orange juice all day…? If you prefer something a little less sweet, their intoxicating night-scented Galan De Noche scent smells of jasmine, with a tantalising hint of rose, orange blossom, and ylang yang.
Ted Baker
Talking of travelling – during a recent adventure around the globe, Ted Baker bought back with him a taste of each of his favourite cities. Get a different story with each of his scents, ranging from his loved-home town London, to Tokyo and Sydney. London is inspired by the Columbian Road flower market of Victorian London, and New York is concocted with vanilla and cedar wood to capture 1920′ glamour.
Orla Keily
Orla Keily‘s candles and diffusers make a great fireplace ornaments with Orla’s bright, modern and charming design – you will want to keep the candle glasses even once they’re finished.. The trio of mini candles features three of Orla’s favourite scents; Orange Rind, Fig Tree and Lavender, in her bold print. The candle gift set includes a Fig Tree diffuser and Candle in an olive green box with Orla’s popular Small Acorn print. Orla’s best-selling Fig Tree fragrance combines the natural, earthy scent of fig with essential oils of lime, cardamom and bitter orange to create a warm aroma perfect to make your house smell Christmassy.
Jo Malone
We love Jo Malone‘s sleekly designed diffusers, that continually fills your home with her range of luxury smells. The Pine and Eucalyptus diffuser is limited-edition for the season. Not your average cinnamon-spice Christmas scent, yet it still oozes a warm and comforting festivity smell. It is a little more of a mature forest-fresh fragrance.
Ashleigh and Burwood
The possibilities are endless with Ashleigh & Burwood. Their Fragrance Lamps allow you to choose from a wide range of gorgeous mosaic style lamps to sit your home, and then you pick out a fragrance to fill your lamp with – and your home. Simply fill your lamp with your chosen fragrance, light the ceramic top for a few minutes and you’ll have your home filled with warm scent.
Their fragrances range from sweet Christmassy scents, like their Amber and Tonka Bean which is this season’s addition – to simple Lavender or Fresh Linen. You’d have to check the Fragrances to see the vast amount of choice for yourself, there’s over 120 so it’ll be hard to choose! The perfect Christmas Gift.
