Soothing scents, how to create relaxation at home

Imagine coming home after a busy day. You take off your coat, breathe deeply, and a soft, warm scent welcomes you into your own home. You feel the tension melt away. And this is precisely the power of soothing scents. These small moments, scent, create more peace in your home and in your mind. In this blog post, I'll explain why soothing scents are so effective, which scents work best, and how you can incorporate them into your interior to create more balance, relaxation, and ambiance in your home.

Why soothing scents are essential in your home

Scent is our most powerful sense. One whiff of a particular scent instantly transports you to a memory, emotion, or atmosphere. Scent can evoke a sense of safety, a sense of homecoming, and a sense of tranquility. Soothing scents help calm your nervous system, slow your breathing, and quiet your mind. Scent creates a safe cocoon at home, allowing you to truly reconnect with yourself. We all know the warm scent of vanilla; it brings us comfort. Lavender helps us clear our minds before bed. No overstimulation, no rush. Just scent, peace, and space.

These soothing scents make all the difference

Not all scents are created equal. Citrus scents energize, while scents like lavender and chamomile promote relaxation. Here are three of our favorite soothing scents, all available in our collection.

• Lavender, the classic when it comes to relaxation.
  Lavender is the most well-known calming scent. The purple flowers are not only beautiful to have in your garden, but they also provide a soothing floral fragrance that helps you relax and sleep better. Try the Lavender - Chamomile Wax Melt. The chamomile enhances the calming effect and makes this scent perfect for use in the evening or just before bed for a better night's sleep.
  
• Cedarwood - Jasmine, a healing scent to reconnect with yourself.
  Do you have a busy schedule, too many stimuli, or find it hard to relax after a busy day? Then this fragrance combination is perfect for you! The woody notes of cedarwood help you feel grounded, while jasmine adds a soft, floral warmth. Spray a few spritzes of our Cedarwood - Jasmine Room Spray in your living room or (home) office and feel the peace return.
  
• Inner Peace - to feel and smell a deep sense of inner peace.
  Sometimes it feels like you've lost yourself, you can't relax, you feel restless deep inside. The Inner Peace fragrance is so special that it's almost impossible to describe. The Inner Peace scented candle diffuses its fragrance slowly and softly with the warm, soothing glow of a candle flame. Pure tranquility in a jar.

Using soothing scents in your interior

Did you know that soothing scents work best when used daily and in different rooms of your home? Here are a few tips to make that easy.

• Bedroom - for a better night's sleep

Use the Lavender-Chamomile scent here before bed. Wax melts or a room spray with soothing scents will help you end your day and calm your mind. And our room spray can also be used as a pillow spray!

• Bathroom for a home spa

Want that spa-like feeling in your own bathroom? Then choose fresh and purifying scents like eucalyptus or mint. A few reed diffusers or tea lights around your warm bath will do wonders for your relaxation.

• Living room; coziness and the feeling of a real home

Warm scents like vanilla, amber, or cedarwood are always a good choice in your living room. They create a cozy atmosphere and help you unwind after a busy day. Light a scented candle and read a book, or snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and watch a series or movie.

Bonus tip: Combine products! Use a wax melt for a direct and powerful scent, a scented candle for ambiance, and a room spray for a quick refresher or to enhance your current fragrance.
