]]>From warm spices to sweet caramel, the fragrance world has seized on the emotive appeal of gourmand fragrances. Picking up on this edible trend, Black Fig & Tonka is proof of how elevated a fruit-forward fragrance can be. Here, a behind-the-scenes look at this rich-yet-earthy home fragrance.
The concept
With Black Fig & Tonka, we set out to marry two key gourmand notes in one deeply satisfying composition. The challenge was to play up the strengths of each ingredient: the honeyed complexity of fig and the creamy warmth of tonka.
The composition
With top notes of sun-drenched fig, juicy raspberry and coconut, the scent opens with an unapologetic lusciousness, while jasmine and violet leaf linger beneath the surface. The base is shot through with tonka bean—a subtle alternative to vanilla that picks up the aromas of vanilla, coconut and toasted almond, as well as subtle hints of cinnamon or nutmeg. To round out the fragrance, patchouli brings an earthy quality that’s nuanced and inviting.
The occasion
Grounding and harmonious, Black Fig & Tonka complements the transition as we head back inside after a sun-soaked summer and reset our homes for fall. Appropriate from morning through evening, it provides a comforting backdrop for productive days, as well as intimate get-togethers with friends and family.
]]>Welcome crisp mornings and changing leaves with our Autumn Collection—four sophisticated gourmand scents crafted for cooler weather.

]]>Inspired by the social spirit of summer, the fragrances in our Cocktail Collection are a refreshing seasonal update to your home—and the finishing touch for occasions of all kinds. Here, we spotlight on Juniper Tonic, a resolutely sophisticated scent that captures the botanical freshness of a well-crafted gin and tonic.
The concept
From the start, we knew we wanted a gin and tonic–inspired scent to be part of this collection. Equal parts classic and modern, gin and tonics are cooling, light and appeal to both men and women—all qualities we love in a scent for the home. The challenge, we knew, would be how to capture the drink’s delicate balance of effervescence, aromatics and citrus.
The composition
Carefully selected aromatics—juniper berry, armoise, rosemary and fir balsam—bring the gin effect to life, while amber, patchouli and vetiver add a hint of bitterness to conjure the aftertaste of a craft tonic water. Notes of bergamot, lemon and bright lavender make every inhale as exciting as the first.
The occasion
This fragrance will bring a sense of cool—both literal and figurative—to any cocktail party. Its subtlety makes it an ideal pairing for dinner, as it will complement rather than overpower whatever you’re serving.
]]>The concept
We love creating scents that transport people to far-away places. To wit: our mojito-inspired scent picks up all the vibrancy of the iconic Cuban cocktail, with bright lime, a touch of mint and a sophisticated mineral finish.
The composition
Our in-house perfumers created a complex blend that channels the appeal of our cocktail inspiration, but has the depth and complexity of an exceptional home scent. Lime zest and fresh mint leaves burst with freshness, mingling with hints of pink jasmine and mandarin blossoms.
The occasion
A scent as clean and uplifting is incredibly versatile, Crushed Lime & mint works well for birthdays and dinner parties, as well as casual hangouts and relaxed sundowners.

Inspired by the social spirit of summer, the fragrances in our Cocktail Collection are a refreshing seasonal update to your home—and the finishing touch for occasions of all kinds. Learn what went into making Sparkling Bergamot, an effervescent celebration of warm summer afternoons.
The concept
We wanted to toast the start of patio season with a scent that had all the sophistication (and fun) of sipping a refreshing cocktail on a sun-drenched terrace. For inspiration, we looked to classic Italian spritzes and their captivating blend of crisp prosecco and citrus, touched with a hint of bitterness.
The composition
The top notes of this fragrance are citrusy—mandarin, bergamot, and orange bitters, a nod to the spritz inspiration. Subtle hints of jasmine and rose in the middle bring in more complexity, while sandalwood and peach linger in the base. As a whole, it’s a fresh and crisp scent with a cool Mediterranean orange finish.
The occasion
Celebratory and invigorating, Sparkling Bergamot will set the scene for afternoons entertaining at home, as well as sunny long weekends and birthday dinners with friends.
]]>Inspired by the social spirit of summer, the fragrances in our Cocktail Collection are a refreshing seasonal update to your home—and the finishing touch for occasions of all kinds. Today, we’re going behind the scenes of the making of Coconut & Peach Nectar, an indulgent re-imagining of a piña colada.
The concept
With Coconut & Peach Nectar, we set out to create a scent that captured the mood-boosting effect of a tropical holiday—the moment when the flight is behind you, the sea-salted breeze is ruffling your hair, and you take your first sip of a perfectly blended drink.
The composition
To bring a sense of modernity to our retro cocktail inspiration, we played its rich gourmand character against fresher, lighter components. Fruity notes abound, including bright peach and pineapple, while coconut and vanilla cream add a sense of indulgence. A soft rum undertone rounds out the blend.
The occasion
The ultimate mood-lift, Coconut & Peach Nectar brings a bright, cheerful energy to casual celebrations, from themed cocktail parties to long, lazy lunches. Diffuse it on the patio or by the pool to bring a vacation vibe home.

]]>How do you bottle the delicate freshness of a spring garden? With the Garden, our goal was to create a sophisticated floral to set the stage for spring and summer get-togethers.
Below, the story behind this lush white floral that's entirely modern.
The concept
We wanted to celebrate the arrival of warm weather with a truly elegant floral - one that avoided any hint of cloying sweetness. As inspiration, we went back to some of the most iconic scents from the '80s, which were built around lily of the valley, gardenia and tuberose. We considered how to capture the spirit of those big white florals, while bringing in a new sophistication that speaks to the current moment.
The composition
A balanced blend of jasmine, ylang ylang and hyacinth lie at the heart of this scent, while fresh-cut stems merge with white lilies to produce a tuberose note that's both voluptuous and creamy. At the base, tonka bean and a restrained use of musk provide an anchor of depth and calm. Layered and complex, the formulation as a whole evokes a lush flower garden of extreme elegance and calm.
The occasion
Fresh and welcoming, The Garden is the finishing touch on a clean home. It's ideal for low-key entertaining (think: Sunday brunch or afternoon tea) and makes a stunning gift in lieu of a bouquet.
]]>In the latest installment of our Our Ingredients Up Close series, we turn our attention to Santal Night—a lush take on our bestselling Santal scent.
Read on to learn how we formulated our most sensual fragrance yet.
The concept
We challenged our in-house scent experts to create an interpretation of our much-loved Santal fragrance that let its warmth and richness take centre stage—but retained a sense of subtle sophistication. The result is intense yet refined, the ideal enhancement for indulgent moments and intimate evenings at home.
The composition
To create Santal Night, we explored notes that would bring out sandalwood’s most sensual facets. Opulent woods are grounded by base notes of tonka bean and creamy patchouli, which adds an earthy nuance of chocolate. Black cardamom brings a spicy warmth, while guaiac wood, the heartwood of the Palo Santo tree, hints at smoke and leather, evoking a sense of intrigue and lasting luxury.
The technology
When it comes to bold scents, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. That’s why the groundbreaking technology in our nebulizing diffusers is designed to give you maximum control. Unlike candles and other traditional home scent solutions, our Bluetooth-enabled devices let you adjust the fragrance level to suit your mood and space.]]>Meals. Family time. Work calls. Chores. Our homes are seeing a lot of action these days, which can make it harder to disengage from the bustle when it’s finally time to unwind.
Fear not—some subtle tweaks to your environment can set the mood for an evening devoted to self-indulgence. Read on for our top tips.
Warm up your lighting scheme.
Everyone knows that low lighting is relaxing, but be sure to consider the color temperature of your lights, not just how bright or dim they are. Warmer hues, whether amber, pink or red, are calming, and will set you up for a good night’s sleep.
Create a scent memory.
Of all the senses, smell is the most closely tied to memory, which makes fragrance a powerful tool for creating a mood. Our top scents for nighttime? Santal Night, Noir and Santal are all rich yet refined, making your home feel like a luxe getaway.
Bring the heat.
Warmth and pleasure go hand in hand, so find a way to incorporate heat into your evening. Take a bath, cozy up in front of the fire—or simply turn up the thermostat a notch or two.
Be intentional with your music.
Consider the feel you want for your evening and create a playlist to suit, whether that means acoustic tracks for a mellow night or pop throwbacks that will lift your mood and have you singing along.]]>A high-quality fragrance meets every requirement of a good gift: indulgent, thoughtful, and actually useful beyond the holiday season. But choosing a fragrance for someone else can feel intimidating—that is, until you realize that scent preference is closely tied to personality. To help narrow things down, we asked our in-house scent experts for their top gift recommendations for everyone on your list.

For Absolutely Anyone
Having trouble choosing? Our curated sets bring together our most loved aroma oils for a truly failproof gift.]]>Our Ingredients Up Close series is a deep dive into the inspiration and key notes that distinguish some of our most popular fragrances to explore what sets them apart.
This time, we turn to two scents from our Journeys Collection, Amalfi Revelry and Redwood Nocturne—each a sensory ticket to a far-off destination. For lasting, pure scent diffusion, we recommend our cold-air nebulizers, which help to preserve the integrity of the fragrance oils.
Amalfi Revelry: a Mediterranean memory
Perfumer Ryan Lussier describes Amalfi Revelry as “sunshine in a bottle”. In developing the fragrance, he kept returning to the image of a late-afternoon drive along the coast, windows open to the warm air.
The scent conjures this sense of joy and freedom with a bright palette of floral and citrus top notes. Italian lemon, crushed mint and orange flower recall the vibrant gardens and tumbling roadside vegetation of the Mediterranean.
In perfumery, citrus notes are often chosen for their fresh, light, clean appeal, which makes them a perfect match for grounding, woody elements—like musk and crystal amber, which provide an earthy, resinous base for this vibrant fragrance.
Redwood Nocturne: lullaby amid the sequoias
Understated yet elegant, Redwood Nocturne has been developed to conjure the beauty and stillness of nightfall in a sequoia grove. Its subtle, woody character makes it an ideal fragrance “to fall asleep to”, explains Lussier—the perfect aromatic wind-down after a long day, designed to impart a sense of peace.
Fir balsam and fresh cedarwood are the backbone of this soothing, resinous profile. Rosebuds provide a delicate, musky element, complemented by ginger: light yet spicy, and an ideal match for the predominant woody notes. A base of vetiver, deep and resinous, harmonises with other balsamic ingredients to yield a calming, green scent to smooth away the knots of the day as you drift off to sleep imagining stars above the sequoias.
]]>The autumn season is known for its distinctive scents that recall falling leaves, crisp air, and the fall harvest. To start the season, we’ve highlighted our top scents to highlight the vibrant beauty of fall. These rich, evocative scents will fill your space with an enchanting autumnal ambiance.
Warm, Comforting Pumpkin Spice
Pumpkin Spice naturally includes the warm scent of soft pumpkin, as well as key notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, adding complexity to the blend. Hints of vanilla and cream round out this decadent fragrance, which is subtly sweet, making it the perfect complement to the changing leaves and crisp fall air. It will instantly fill the space with the scent of home baking.
Attend the Grand Ball
Rich and opulent, The Grand Ball transforms any night at home into a glamorous affair. Key notes include rose, orris leather, tonka bean and sandalwood. Luxurious, glamorous and sophisticated, The Grand Ball balances the sweetness of rose with pungency of aged leather and wood. It’s a perfect fall fragrance, building anticipation of the joyous holiday celebrations yet to come.
Embark on a Love Affair
They always say opposites attract, and AromaTech’s Love Affair fragrance harmonizes heavy base notes, such as cedar and ambergris, with the airy top notes of jasmine and saffron. This heady blend is sweet yet bold, evoking the feeling of a great love affair, of stolen kisses beneath a bright canopy of fall leaves. Fill your home with a sensuous fragrance that makes you feel ready to fall again and again.
The evocative nature of scent can conjure up thousands of feelings—longing, comfort, lust, coziness, anticipation—just as the changing of the seasons can spark a memory that might otherwise lay dormant throughout the rest of the year. A scent can take you on an autumn adventure, from a stroll through Central Park, to relaxing in a zen garden, to falling in love in the crisp fall air. This fall, where would you like to go?
]]>Each of our scents is developed to capture a particular mood, atmosphere, or feeling with a unique blend of aroma oils and pure essential oils. This series—Ingredients Up Close—takes a magnifying glass to a handful of our fragrances, exploring key notes and ingredients.
This installment is devoted to Alpine Summit and Bora Bora Serenity, two scents that each provide a sensory pass to a distant destination—best paired with our innovative cold-air scent diffuser to ensure clean, lasting fragrance.
Alpine Summit: Mountain Majesty
The idea behind Alpine Summit was for a “refreshing, invigorating, outdoorsy” fragrance, created to hold broad appeal, but ideal for any setting where an energy boost is required—from gym to studio to home office.
Like its name suggests, notes of crisp mountain air underpin this unique, enlivening scent. Imagine the deep, cleansing inhale you take upon finishing a hike, or perhaps pausing to take in the snow-capped peaks in the distance—the pure, bracing air, the elation of the summit.
For this scent, AromaTech's Fragrance Editor Ryan Lussier chose woody, herbaceous notes to round out the crisp alpine profile—fir needles, geranium, and blue sage recall a clearing studded with wildflowers. Patchouli provides an earthy, musky base.
Bora Bora Serenity: An Island Oasis
Tropical, floral, and subtly sweet, Bora Bora Serenity evokes the warmth and tranquility of a remote sandy beach—a place with a leisurely tempo, where time stretches long and unhurried.
While creating this scent, Lussier looked to warm, welcoming notes to create a soothing ambiance. Frangipani was included for its exotic yet universally appealing profile, with fruity and floral elements in harmony: think jasmine or gardenia with the creamy warmth of vanilla. It pairs beautifully with coconut, another of Bora Bora Serenity’s key notes, along with mellow tropical fruits, to offer immediate transport to an island paradise.
The light, sweet top notes are given nuance by the fragrance’s woodier heart. Tolu balsam and blond woods lend an earthy green depth to this calming, uplifting scent.
]]>
Our scents are formulated with pure, high-quality essential oils, which, when paired with the AroMini BT—which employs our unique nebulizing technology—delivers an unmatched aromatic experience. The cold-air scent diffusion technology preserves the oils’ aromatic integrity, yielding longer-lasting aroma.
In the latest instalment of our Ingredients Up Close series, we take a deep dive into the notes that distinguish Santal Escape a fresh twist on our most-loved fragrance.
A light, mineral interpretation of our bestselling Santal aroma, Santal Escape conjures the majesty of a desert-island daydream. Both fresh and familiar, it evokes warm white sand underfoot, warm sun on bare skin, and complete tranquility.
Like its relative, Santal Escape is distinguished by a sophisticated, woody profile—but where the former is smoky and resinous, the newer fragrance evokes a lush coastal paradise. Think of vegetation stirred by a salty breeze and waves rushing to collapse against rocks.
Soft florals serve as the fragrance’s opening notes; an invitation to slip into a daydream, carried by earthy wild iris and herbs. These soft green top notes yield to a refined base of solar amber and salted musk, redolent of driftwood washed ashore. The resulting fragrance is uplifting yet instantly calming: the clarifying feeling of plunging beneath the water’s surface met with the grounding calm of a walk alongside a rhythmic, crashing tide.
They say a change is as good as a holiday. Santal Escape might be just that—a fragrance to transport you to a remote island, perfect for home, office, or any other space in need of transformation.
]]>It’s well-known that of all our senses, olfaction—or smell—is most closely tied to memory. It’s why the whiff of a particular dish makes you homesick; why the trace of an ex-lover’s perfume or cologne stirs a complicated mix of emotions; and why the aromas of certain varieties of resinous incense sends you straight back to catechism.
Of course, this also means scent is often a highly emotive sense, too, with the ability to conjure powerful memories, or project potent imagined scenes. Perfumers know this, and draw on the established link between olfaction and emotion to produce fragrances that elicit a strong response in wearers—or, in the case of home fragrance, those who diffuse them.
The transportive power of scent
If certain aromas prompt us to revisit memories, it follows that they can also be used as a means of (figurative) transport, carrying us to sites of nostalgia, moments of joy, or across the threshold of a daydream. When it comes to home fragrance, this allows us to reimagine and reinvigorate environments according to mood, time of day, and preferred aromatic profile.
What’s in a name?
Just as its name hints, Santal Escape recalls a desert-island dream: soft green florals, a salty sea breeze, waves crashing against cliffs, warm sand underfoot, and driftwood washed ashore. In developing the scent, our team sought to capture the sensations of a lush coastal paradise, allowing the wild, tranquil scene to be evoked anywhere, at any time, via scent diffusion, creating a grounding yet alluring atmosphere.
Equal parts calming and invigorating, Santal Escape soothes busy minds—an invitation to an island reverie, and a moment’s respite from the hum of the everyday.
]]>The right scent at the right time can energise, soothe or inspire focus. Our fragrances are built from pure and sustainably sourced essential oils, arranged to reconfigure spaces and moods through aroma.
This series takes a closer look at the ingredients that make up some of our bestselling fragrances—in this instalment, Love Affair and White Tea & Thyme.
Love Affair: the elegance of equilibrium
The adage ‘opposites attract’ translated as scent, Love Affair blends light, diffusive top notes with a rich and intense base—a magnetic dance between contrasts.
The fragrance opens with refreshing jasmine, derived from the small night-blooming flowers beloved for their exotic perfume. Jasmine is believed to have aphrodisiac properties, and some research indicates that it may have mood-enhancing benefits, too, with one 2013 study reporting that participants experienced increased energy levels and a more positive mindset after inhaling jasmine oil. In Love Affair, jasmine is complemented by saffron, which delivers a sweet earthiness.
These airy, clear opening notes are in exquisite balance with decadent heart and base. Ambergris gives the fragrance a heady musk while offering definition to the florals; and the warm cedarwood base brings a pleasant fullness to the aromatic profile.
Bold, sensuous and elegant, Love Affair is a versatile, year-round fragrance—a study in opposing forces.
White Tea & Thyme: An invitation to unwind
White Tea & Thyme could be considered a sibling fragrance to The Hotel. Though their scent profiles are quite different, they both evoke a similar sense of calm. Where The Hotel blends invigorating citrus notes with florals, however, White Tea & Thyme is distinguished by its green and resinous accords, inviting a cleansing deep breath—the evening wind-down to The Hotel’s gentle wake-up call.
The romance and sweetness of jasmine is lent a warm, woody depth when complemented by thyme. This medicinal herb has been used for centuries as an anti-inflammatory and to strengthen the immune system; in some cultures, it is also believed to protect against nightmares.
The verdant top notes descend into cedarwood, resinous amber and white tea, yielding a rounded aroma that instantly stills busy minds. Ideal for home and professional settings alike—or anywhere else you’d like to create a subtly soothing atmosphere.
]]>Whether you’re a musician, writer, artist, or designer, creativity is at the heart of many of our lives. While creative pursuits are extremely fulfilling, being consistently creative day after day can also be challenging.
As a result, many people have their own secret rituals and mindset hacks that they use to jumpstart their creativity. Below, we explore yet another tool you can add to your creative arsenal; one that you may not have considered: scent and essential oils.
Using Scents to Boost Creativity
So how can you use scent to be more creative? The key is to figure out what mental state you work best in. Most creatives already have an intuitive sense for this.
Are you a coffee or caffeine lover? If so, it may mean you do your best work in a more stimulated state. On the other hand, if you need to meditate, journal, and drink herbal tea before you can even begin to focus on work, you likely work best in a calm, relaxed state.
There’s no wrong answer here: it’s truly about the mental state and atmosphere that makes you feel your best and most productive. Once you have a sense for the state of mind in which you’re most productive, you can use the power of scent to help recreate that atmosphere on demand.
The Best Scents for Creativity
Whether your creativity is fueled by calm, stimulation, or something entirely different, there are specific scents and essential oils you can use to bring about your desired creative energy.
Let’s look at some of the best essential oils for the most popular creative states:
Calm & Relaxation - Many creatives find that they do their best work in a calm state of mind. If you’re one of those who works best in a calm, relaxed state, then essential oils like lavender, vanilla, and white tea may be the best option for you.
Energy & Stimulation - For those who crave a more energetic vibe, uplifting oils like jasmine can help revitalize your workspace and your mind. Citrus oils like orange and lime can also have an energizing effect.
Mystery & Contemplation - If you want a mystical, contemplative atmosphere, it’s hard to find a better oil than oud. Used in traditional ceremonies for thousands of years, it can inspire new ideas with its exotic blend of mystery and sensuality.
Concentration & Focus - When it comes to boosting cognition and focus, peppermint is one of the most researched and time-tested essential oils. Aside from its delicious smell, studies have found that the scent of peppermint can increase memory and awareness.
Novelty & New Beginnings - Oftentimes all that you need to get out of a creative rut is new experiences. Novel scents like eucalyptus and pure sunshine can inspire creative ideas and perspectives by breathing new life into your work.
]]>Our fragrances use the purest essential oils to yield exceptional aromas—complex, rich and evocative; able to transform any mood or setting. In this series, we’re exploring the key notes of some of our most-loved fragrances, beginning with Santal and The Hotel.
Santal: of understated charm
It’s no surprise that Santal is among our most popular fragrances. Its scent is familiar but refined, with a full-bodied profile that suffuses any environment with a sense of understated sophistication.
Woody, musky accords make for a warm and inviting aroma of remarkable versatility: Santal is equally at home in an apartment living-room as in a dimly-lit restaurant or bar; and resists easy categorisation as either a ‘day’ or ‘night’ fragrance.
The scent’s eponymous ingredient—sandalwood—is known for its warm balsamic appeal, at once intense and comforting. It often appears as the base note in fragrances, from perfumes to room sprays and essential oil blends. In Santal, it’s blended with smoky, leathery papyrus and cardamom, which delivers a spicy, resinous dimension.
A fragrance to enrich the everyday and spark intrigue.
The Hotel: invigorating but grounding
As welcoming as its name suggests, The Hotel is a contemporary fougère, blending citrus notes with soothing florals and eucalyptus.
When travelling, we’re often more open-minded and hungry for new experiences. One of the pleasures of a hotel stay, however, is the sense of being hosted and cared for as a guest: the fresh linen daily, the newspaper on a breakfast tray, the towels folded by the pool. This fragrance evokes a similar sense of welcome and composure.
In The Hotel, bright citrus notes of orange and lemon have been selected for their light, refreshing qualities. Often called ‘hesperidic accords’, citrus notes are often most noticeable when a fragrance is first encountered, and range from floral to green to zesty. Here, they’re balanced by the peach and lavender—the latter renowned for its calming properties. Eucalyptus and pine provide a green, woody base.
Sophisticated in composition but clean and subtle in scent, The Hotel is perfect for moments when you’d like to transform your home, office, or any other environment into a space of retreat.
]]>Do you have a bedtime ritual? You’d be surprised by how many people do.
After long, busy days, it can be hard to wind down at night. An evening routine can help set the tone for rest and restoration. A relaxing tea, a technology hiatus, yoga, reading…there are so many things you can do to set yourself up for high quality sleep.
Scent can play an essential role in evening routines, especially because soothing scents are capable of putting our minds and bodies at ease. Aromas have been used in rituals and self-care for centuries. With a nebulizing scent diffuser, night time scenting is now safer and easier than ever before.
Here are the top four calming nighttime scents to add to your diffuser before bedtime. These gentle, evocative scents will transform any space into a relaxing retreat.
Ylang Ylang
Ylang Ylang is a flower cultivated from the cananga tree, which fittingly blooms at night time. The warm, floral scent of the Ylang Ylang flowers has similar soothing effects to lavender, making it a great option for diffusing in the evening. This relaxing scent is part of our Fresh Air and White Tea & Bamboo scent blends.
Vanilla
This classic scent is comforting and sweet-smelling, perfect for diffusing in the bedroom to create a soothing ambiance. You can find it in our Vanilla Cedarwood Sage and Vanilla Bourbon scents.
Lavender
Lavender is arguably the most effective scent for sleep, and is well known for its positive somniferous effects. You can find this subtle floral scent in our Lavender and Lavender Linen aroma oils.
Bergamot Orange
Bergamot is commonly known as one of the flavours in Earl Grey tea, and is derived from the rind of the bergamot orange. This light, citrusy scent is perfect for setting a relaxing tone in the evening, and can be found in our Bergamot Orange aroma oil.
Is it safe to leave a scent diffuser on at night?
Nebulizing scent diffusers are safe to leave on throughout the night when used with AromaTech aroma oils. This method takes the air from your room and transforms it into an ultra-dry micro mist – no heat required. This process also ensures that no foreign particles or dust interfere with the scent. AromaTech scents are also pet safe.
For a more subtle scenting experience, you should also set the timer on your diffuser to turn off 2-3 hours after you have drifted off to sleep. This can be done through the Scenting app for diffusers such as the Aromini BT. This will ensure that your space is lightly scented throughout the night.
Traditional diffusers, such as those that use tea lights, or ultrasonic diffusers that use water vapour, are not necessarily safe to leave on throughout the night because they will eventually burn through the water and oil, causing a hazard. This is why a cold air diffuser is the safest option when diffusing overnight.
So, before you head to bed this evening, why not fill your room with a soothing and safe scent?

We also reveal 4 of our favorite subtle, delicate scents.
How to Scent with Subtlety
One way to ensure you are subtly scenting your space is to opt for an oil diffuser that has fragrance intensity control. This feature allows you to select how much fragrance you want diffused into your space. This way, you can customize the level of fragrance in order to dial in the perfect atmosphere.
Another tip is to choose fragrances that are made from pure essential oils. Natural products have an implicit delicacy, and can be thoroughly enjoyed without fears of side effects, fillers, or unwanted additives.
Top 4 Subtle, Delicate Scents
Now you know how to scent for a more subtle experience, but the fact remains: some fragrances are simply more subtle than others. Below are a few incredible, high quality fragrances that are still subtle enough to delight any connoisseur:
Delicate scents like white tea are the perfect example of balancing distinction with subtlety. Our White Tea & Thyme combines some of the natural world’s most subtle and soothing scents: night-blooming jasmine, thyme, lily pad, cedar, and amber, all balanced perfectly over a base of white tea leaves.
This fragrance brings together two of the most time-honored, natural scents for creating an atmosphere of relaxation. Lavender and Vanilla complement each other to produce an aroma that is calming, inviting, and perfect for any time of day.
More than anything, Pure Sunshine infuses your spaces with a subtle clean feeling. Eliminate odors and refresh your space with this combination of raspberry, orange zest, sweet pea, and jasmine. Hints of violet and creamy vanilla round out this all natural fragrance as pure as the sun itself.
Whether you’re working from home with the new shift to remote work, or still working out of a standard office environment, it’s important to have an enjoyable working atmosphere. High quality fragrances are one of the best ways to spice up any office environment. They also provide very specific benefits when it comes to mood, productivity, and more. Let’s take a look at some of these scientifically supported benefits, and then dive into our best fragrances for the office.
Why Scent Your Office?
It’s easy to underestimate the role scent can play in our workspace. Sure, fragrances can make a space smell better, but is there really that much more to the story? Surprisingly, yes. The power of fragrance goes far beyond just producing pleasant smells. Many fragrances have specific benefits that can improve many areas of our lives, including our work.
Scent has been shown to improve not just productivity, but even the quality of one’s work. Studies have found that workers made fewer errors while enjoying the scents of lemon, jasmine, and lavender.
Some other important qualities that contribute to our work are things like memory, awareness, and stimulation. Different fragrances have been shown to improve these faculties. Peppermint, for example, has been shown to increase memory and awareness. The scent of jasmine may stimulate the nervous system.
All in all, studies continue to show that scent is a healthy, natural way to boost energy, mood and quality of work. This makes it an incredibly valuable addition to any office. That said, not all fragrances produce the same effects. Let’s take a look at some of our favorites for the office specifically.
Our Top 5 Best Office Fragrances
A quick look at the studies we mentioned above shows that two of the best scents for boosting our work are citrus and mint. Crushed Lime & Mint gives you the best of both worlds by combining these two great energy boosters and stimulators. Also featured in this fragrance are notes of pink jasmine, musk, mandarin blossoms and cedar leaves.
Peppermint is one of the most well-studied scents out there, with different studies showing its effects on memory, focus and awareness. It stands to reason that this classic scent is so popular, given its clean, refreshing notes. Any workplace that is scenting the space with peppermint aroma oil will experience an invigorating, stimulating boost.
This delicate scent combines thyme, lily pad, cedar, and amber over a base of white tea. Perfect for helping you find your calm and focus in the middle of a hectic workday. There are also notes of jasmine, giving this blend the perfect hint of vitalizing energy.
The cleansing, refreshing scent of eucalyptus will give your workspace a clean, uplifting feel. Eucalyptus has a host of other benefits too, like natural antiseptic and anti-bacterial qualities. This scent is made with 100% pure eucalyptus essential oils.
With energizing notes of jasmine, lemongrass, and green tea, this blend is perfect for creating a spirited and lively atmosphere in the office. Green Tea & Lemongrass can help inspire a revitalizing boost or get you out of that infamous afternoon slump.

The Hotel Revealed: Key Notes & Composition

But self love and self care are some of the most rewarding things that we can focus on.
Now to be clear, self love doesn’t mean narcissism or selfishness. It’s more helpful to think of self love as self appreciation, or regard for one’s own happiness and well being. It’s a commonly observed psychological phenomenon that we tend to treat others better than ourselves. We often hold high standards for ourselves, so we can tend to beat ourselves up psychologically.
One of the best ways to stay grounded and appreciative is through fragrances. Different kinds of self love may resonate more with different kinds of people, so below we’ve presented three different approaches to self love & self care, with fragrances to help accompany each.
Relaxation, Self Love & Self Care
It’s good to hold high standards for ourselves, and to push ourselves to new levels, but if we constantly have our foot on the gas pedal and never make time to appreciate ourselves and love where we’re at, we can easily get burnt out or lost.
Fragrances can help us relax, be more present, and love who we are and where we’re at in life right now. A great fragrance to help with this is Oriental Garden, as it combines relaxing notes like vanilla and jasmine with a hint of uplifting citrus and lemon zest. This all comes together to help create a subtle zen atmosphere. Another great choice would be Oud Saphir, as the fragrance of oud has been enjoyed for centuries for its mystical calming effects.
Treat Yourself to Quality & Luxury
Another way to show yourself some love is to treat yourself to life’s finer things. We all love quality, luxurious items, but few people know that one of the best ways to capture the ambience of luxury is with the power of fragrance.
Scents like The Hotel can transport you to the classiest hotels the world has to offer, with its sensual blend of eucalyptus, fresh pine, lemon, orange and peach. If you’re feeling truly opulent, let The Grand Ball drop you into the heart of a vaulted palace with sophisticated notes like rose, orris leather, tonka bean, and sandalwood.
