The air is getting chillier, and the leaves are beginning to crisp, which can only mean one thing; autumn has arrived. According to the astronomical calendar the official start to the new season was the 23rd September, known as the Autumn Equinox, a brief moment in the year when day is equal to night, marking the descent into darker and longer days. As the leaves fall from the branches and the seasons change, we welcome the transformative opportunity to ignite change in our own lives, rediscovering daily rituals and routines to improve wellbeing.
Often this begins with freshening up our spaces, incorporating new fragrances that invite the Autumn season into our homes. Luxurious candles and home fragrance diffusers create not only a beautiful scent throughout a space but also encourage a warm and cozy atmosphere as the months grow colder. A subtle form of aromatherapy, let your home scents foster a sense of wellness, improving your mood and productivity or helping you relax and wind down. There really is no place like home, especially when it smells so incredible.
Cultivating Ambiance
Never underestimate the power of scent when it comes to cultivating a sense of ambiance in your space, whether creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests or returning home to an evening of solitude after a long day. There are several ways to invite fragrance into your space and turn any room into a peaceful retreat, but we find candles and room diffusers to be the most effective when it comes to long-lasting fragrance.
Select high-quality candles enriched with aromatic fragranced oils blended with natural soy wax. Bath House candles are designed to burn slowly releasing a steady flow of scent, bringing an added a touch of sophistication to each room. Emitting an inviting glow when lit, lighting one (or many) candles around your home can create a truly comforting and calming experience. Reeds, placed in scented oil, offer a flame-free home fragrance diffuser, gently infusing a room with a unique atmosphere. Equally elegant to the candle, they offer low maintenance scent that can be adjusted by adding or removing reeds according to preference.
Can Scent Improve Wellbeing?
Certain scents can bring about noticeable mental and emotional benefits; the right fragrance may evoke a wave of emotions as we reminisce on memories of places past or imagine destinations of the future. Have you ever reflected on how a gorgeous fragrance leaves you feeling uplifted, or soothes your soul as you are winding down for the night? From the saltiness of the ocean or the familiar smell of freshly baked goods, our sense of smell is incredibly powerful, and inextricably linked to the way we feel. In fact, of our five senses, smell is the only sense that has a direct link to the emotional centre of our brain and has a profound impact on our mood.
Through selecting fragrances that invoke a desired emotion, we reap their therapeutic benefits, setting the tone for the day or night. For feelings of peace and clarity, patchouli and sandalwood are renowned for their ability to lift the spirits and instil feelings of clarity and mindfulness. Alternatively, try lavender scented fragrances for calming properties, frankincense for grounding and focus, and jasmine to reduce feelings of stress. Consider adding woody scents like cedarwood or sandalwood to enhance relaxation.
Selecting The Right Fragrance
Aside from banishing unwanted odours, home fragrance can subtly transform the mood and atmosphere of any room. However, selecting a scent that complements the ambiance you envisage for your space is key if you aim to improve wellbeing. Match scents to the occasion or time of year, from warm and spicy cinnamons and cloves for the colder months to invigorating florals and citruses for spring and summer.
Fresh and cleaner fragrances with an outdoorsy-feel work fantastically in bathrooms, whilst calming scents like sandalwood and sweet vanilla ignite feelings of relaxation and serenity into the bedroom or living room. When it comes to placement, spots like hallways and entryways ensure that you get the most out of your home fragrance in areas you frequent the most. Choosing candles and home fragrance diffusers with high-quality ingredients, oils and natural waxes, ensure a cleaner burn and a more intense, nuanced fragrance.
Elevating Everyday Moments With The Power Of Scent
Through placing candles and room diffusers infused with these scents in our homes, we embrace the transformative power of aromatherapy for the senses and soul. Bath House’s selection of fragrance candles and home fragrance room diffusers bring together carefully selected curations, from florals to fresh and warm scents. Begin your journey of scent discovery to uncover which fragrances ignite your emotions and senses, to elevate your everyday and improve wellbeing.
