How to perfume your home: aromas decorate too

The scent of your home defines it too.
It's the first thing people notice when they enter and often, what they remember when they leave.

Scenting your home is like choosing background music. You can't see it, but it completely changes the atmosphere.

How to scent your home: simple tips to get started

• Ventilate every morning, even for a short while. Fresh air changes everything.

• Choose a scent for each room that matches its use and energy.

• Incorporate objects that not only smell good but also decorate.  Scented candles  are my favorites. And the  Lampe Berger , a classic in our home. It purifies the air and leaves a subtle, very pleasant aroma.

How to scent the kitchen

In the kitchen, the trick is to neutralize.

• I light the Lampe Berger after cooking. Effective and discreet.

• I love candles with notes of basil or soft citrus: they provide freshness without smelling like cologne.

• For special moments: hot water with lemon peel, cinnamon, and cloves. Smells like "I just cleaned" without actually having done it.

How to scent the bathroom

Here I prefer scents that convey calm: eucalyptus, lavender, mint.

• A small candle on the sink or in the bathtub is more decorative than any air freshener.

• Sometimes I hang eucalyptus branches in the shower.

  
  

How to scent the living room

The living room is the soul of the house. The place where you receive guests, rest, and share.

• I light a bergamot-scented candle almost every day.

• Fabrics also matter: I lightly spray cushions or curtains with a gentle spray.

• I prefer vegetal or woody scents. They are not cloying, they don't tire you out.

How to scent the bedroom

Everything here must invite rest.

• A few drops of lavender on the pillow (very few, so it doesn't feel like a spa).

• In winter, I like to light a sandalwood or amber candle while I read.

• Bedding smells good when it's taken care of: wash it once a week.

Mistakes to avoid when scenting your home

• Mixing too many smells. Each room has its own scent.

• Overdoing the intensity. Good things, if subtle, are twice as good.

• Forgetting textiles and closets, which also trap and release odors.

My essentials

My basics, which I use every week:

• Beautiful  scented candles , with clean and long-lasting aromas.

•  Lampe Berger , for when the house needs a breather.

• A few drops of essence for fabrics or sheets. Small gestures that make a difference.
