The best scents for the living room

The living room can be one of the hardest rooms to choose a fragrance for because it often moves between many functions throughout the day. Your living room can be a space for relaxing, entertaining, playing, working, dining and more. So what are the best scents for the living room?

Because of this multi-functionality, you may want to avoid continuous fragrancing methods, like reed diffusers, and instead change up your living room fragrance to fit the feeling and function of different times with changeable scents from a candle or Fragrance Lamp. Reed diffusers can still work well for the living room however, either as convenient stress-free scenting method in a busy home or as a background scent to layer others on top of. A clean scent like Fresh Linen is a refreshing boost to your mood, light florals like Peony and Snowdrop & Jasmine layer well with additional fragrances, and woody and spicy scents like Enchanted Forest or Oriental Spice give the room a cosy feeling.

If you use your living room as a home office space during the day, a bright, energising citrus scent, like Sicilian Lemon or Lime & Basil can help you focus and stay on task. 

When it’s time to unwind, if you want to make the space feel extra cosy, we suggest snuggling up with the soft scent of Cashmere Blankets or warm Moroccan Spice.

If you want your lounging time to have a more luxurious feel, Midnight Oud adds exotic intrigue, while floriental Black Orchid & Poppy and sultry White Velvet recall nostalgic opulence.

Most importantly, the living room is your primary living space and a room you spend plenty of time in, so this is the room where your scent preferences are the key to choose a fragrance. While the bathroom calls for a clean, fresh scent and the bedroom for a relaxing fragrance, the living room is where you should let your personality and preferences shine and choose a scent that makes you feel the most at home.
