Scents are powerful. They can impact your emotions, mood,\nand even memory recall. If you\u2019ve ever experienced long-forgotten memories\nsuddenly bubbling to the surface after smelling a specific aroma, you\u2019ll\nunderstand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a scent for your home creates a strong first\nimpression and is an easy way to make your guests feel cozy and welcomed.\nHere\u2019s how you can create a signature scent for your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with a clean palette <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Regular household scents can compete with your chosen\nsignature scent, making what was once pleasant now smell overwhelming. Avoid\nthis by starting with a clean palette. Neutralize household smells and strong\nodors first. Clean your home from top to bottom, avoiding cleansers with strong\nodors so you can start with a neutral place. Once you\u2019ve gone through the work\nof choosing your home\u2019s scent, keep things clean so your chosen scents can take\ncenter stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work with what you have<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our homes have a naturally-occurring aroma that will impact\nthe signature fragrance you choose. After cleaning your home, think about the\nsmells your home already produces. Do you regularly decorate with fresh\nflowers? Is your furniture made of leather or another organic fabric? Once\nyou\u2019ve identified the aromas that naturally occur in your home, you can choose complementary\nscents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about the mood you want<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scents often contribute to how we feel so it\u2019s important to\nsettle on the type of mood you want to have in your home. Think about what you\nwant people to say about your home. If you have an established design\naesthetic, use that to inspire your signature scent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider scents like lavender, jasmine, rose, ylang ylang,\nand chamomile for a relaxing and calming mood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want something more upbeat and energizing, consider\ncitrus scents like orange, lemon, grapefruit and lime, ginger, peppermint, rosemary,\neucalyptus, bergamot, or coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for something warm and cozy? Try cinnamon, apple, sandalwood,\npine, pumpkin, vanilla, and chocolate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love crisp, clean scents, go for citrus scents, linen,\nflorals like gardenia, and eucalyptus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create layers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having a signature scent doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re limited to a\nsingle aroma. It\u2019s okay to have different scents for different rooms of your\nhome but moderation is key. Consider the locations and size of the rooms and\nchoose scents that complement each other.  Here\u2019s a guide on the most common aroma\nfamilies<\/a> and their complementary fragrances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your home\u2019s signature scent is personal. There\u2019s no wrong\nscent, simply the one that works best for your home. Your signature scent\nshould reflect your personality and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
