The Best Scents for the Bathroom

Thinking of the function of each room is helpful when choosing the best scents for the bathroom, bedroom and more. Every room serves different purposes in your day-to-day life and evokes different feelings when you spend time in them. Each room has its own look to complement its use, with different furniture, textures and colours, and each room will suit a different fragrance to match.

Welcome to the first instalment in our guide to tailoring your home fragrance to each room. While we’ll make suggestions to help you pick a beautiful fragrance to compliment every room, keep in mind that there are no real rules when it comes to home fragrance!

Let’s start with one of the first rooms we use in the morning. The bathroom is where we begin to prepare ourselves for the day ahead with a good clean, so a fresh, revitalising scent is a great accompaniment. We find cool, fresh and clean fragrances with citrus, aquatic or green notes are the best for enhancing the refreshing nature of the room and making the bathroom feel and smell good.

Best reed diffusers for the bathroom

Reed Diffusers are our top recommendation for fragrancing your bathroom. This fuss-free but long-lasting option is a perfect fit for the bathroom’s intermittent everyday use. They’ll keep the room smelling fresh for when you use it and can be left fragrancing unattended whilst you’re elsewhere.

Aquatic scents are a natural fit for the bathroom. They conjure a cool and refreshing feeling with a blend of light watery and ozonic notes. Our Sea Spray Reed Diffuser is a revitalising scent with coastal notes of sea salt and a hint of peppermint and airy white musk. This sparkling scent will help you feel revitalised in the morning with the fresh feeling of rolling blue waves.

Zesty citrus notes can be a great idea to help feel you a little more awake in the morning. Sicilian Lemon blends juicy lemons, limes and oranges with aromatic notes of green geranium, creating an uplifting energy.

As well as citrus notes, spicy herbaceous scents can help pep you up in the morning, like the spicy nutmeg in White Cedar & Bergamot. This blend of white cedarwood and nutmeg with a zingy bergamot top note creates a refreshing, masculine vibe reminiscent of cologne scents.

Best scented candles for the bathroom

While Reed Diffusers are our top recommendation for everyday bathroom use, if you want a more experiential fragrance to accompany a relaxing soak in the tub, we suggest chilling out with the comforting glow of a scented candle.

For a fruity fragrance-lover’s take on a refreshing scent, we recommend Tropical Escape. This wonderfully creamy combination of coconut flowers, white melon, zesty mojito and sweet musk gives a feeling of tropical calm to your day. 

If you prefer woodsier fragrances to unwind with, Enchanted Forest offers a magical combination of lavandin and eucalyptus leaf melting into a heart of vetiver, iris wood and spice. Enhanced by a bountiful base of tonka bean, amber, and moss, this fragrance transports you to a secluded forest glen.

Best Lamp Fragrances for the bathroom

Lamp Fragrances are another great option for occasionally fragrancing your bathroom, especially while cleaning or before guests arrive. Bathrooms can attract unwanted smells from everyday use, but Fragrance Lamps can help reduce these undesirable odours and help your bathroom smell good. The Lamps use an innovative catalytic process to cleanse the air of odour particles rather than masking with another fragrance. As they’re doing away with unwanted aromas, the Lamps replace them with a new scent to create your desired atmosphere. We recommend scenting with a Fragrance Lamp for 30 minutes while cleaning to give the freshly scrubbed bathroom a fragrant refresh.

Sea Breeze is one of our favourite aquatic fragrances, a crisp, balmy scent which evokes the refreshing feel of sea air. Warm citrus notes combine with hints of peppermint, jasmine and musk to create a wonderfully exhilarating scent. It’s fantastic for refreshing the bathroom when used in one of our Fragrance Lamps.

Our Lotus Flower & Watermelon Lamp Fragrance is a fitting choice for relaxing in the bathroom as it evokes the scents of an exotic water garden. Refreshing notes of juicy watermelon that melt into a floral harmony of jasmine and lotus flower, sweetened by gentle musk.

If you’re craving a greener scent for the bathroom, Summer Rain will bring some of the outside in with its botanic scent. The gentle scent of newly cut grass and the dewy buds of white flowers is brightened by sparkling citrus. This light and pleasant fragrance that helps the bathroom smell fresh and fragrant.
