fragrances are quite essential in a home.
I could say it’s as important as choosing your own personal fragrance.
If you entertain guests at home, you certainly want to make your guests relax
by creating the right atmosphere for them. Whether your home smells good or
bad, that’s how you’ll be remembered. Home fragrances come in different forms
and fragrances. Hence, our vast possibilities. From the very fruity, artificial
fragrance to the very natural pure ones too; the choice is yours to make
according to your preference .There are a couple of things to keep in mind when you select a scented
candle or choose a beautiful potpourri for your home.

Our brains help determine our reaction to a
scent
·
Your home already has smells in it.
·
Whatever scents are in your home will have to combine harmoniously with
the scent you want to add.
·
Pets add to the odor you live with.
·
The food you cook and the spices you use can
leave a lingering smell beyond the kitchen..
Once you're you’re aware of some of the pre-existing scents within your home, you can start to choose candles, incense, or room spray that will give your room that wonderful fragrance you're hoping for.

Wood scents are associated with warm thoughts.
These are usually heavier scents that can be compared to the emotions or associations that you have when you smell fresh baked bread. A pumpkin spice or caramel scent would fit well in this category.

Florals are light and pleasant.
Floral scents are associated with romance and affection. Rose, lilac, and gardenia are a few flower fragrances that are very popular in this category when finding the right floral scent for your home. Hopefully finding the right fragrance for your home will now be a little easier as you think of the smells that already exist in your home and what your personal preferences are.

Smell, in particular, can be a huge factor in creating
an inviting and welcoming space for everyone. Known as aromatherapy, the use of
scents can greatly affect a person’s mood, along with the feel of a space. Here
are a few questions to ask yourself when considering introducing a home
fragrance into your home:
What scents are you most drawn to? There are so many lovely fragrances out there, it can become overwhelming to choose just one. Ask yourself first what type of scent you typically gravitate towards. Love the smell of citrus? Try fragrances with essence of orange, lemon or other fruits. Prefer floral scents? Look for products that include lavender, gardenia, rose or any other flowers in their composition.
Perhaps sultry notes are more for you. In that case, reach for fragrances with vanilla or amber in the name. Woody fragrances like cedar and pine are popular, as are herbal notes such as rosemary and basil. Try to narrow in on the scent that feels most like home to you, or mix a few different aromas to create a unique smell that’s just right.

What
method of spreading a scent is best for your home? With various options on
the table for home fragrances, it’s important to consider the best method of
diffusing a scent in your home. Candles are wonderful for providing not only an
appealing smell but also a flickering glow. However, for homes with small
children it can be dangerous to have an open flame within easy reach.
Reed oil diffusers are a nice alternative. The oils dissipate slowly, leaving a subtle smell throughout the home that can last for a long time. Leaving a diffuser out can be dangerous though, as they are often made of glass jars with oil inside, and could lead to a mess if knocked over.
You could kill two birds with one stone by using cleaning supplies that also leave an appealing aroma in their wake. Not only will your house look great, it will smell amazing too. Newer lines on the market make use of natural oils for scents that are less bracing than their predecessors and instead are subtle and sophisticated. Look for natural scents such as rosemary, basil, lavender or lemon for a crisp, clean scent around the home.
Last but not least, consider stashing a a little fragrance around the home. Sachets are great for infusing a space with an appealing smell. Go for lavender or cedar scents and they’ll do double-duty in your closets by naturally deterring moths from making their homes in your clothes. Scented drawer liners in your dresser can also leave a subtle perfume on clothes, sheets, or bath linens stored within.
