When it comes to fragrance and sensory emotions, it’s safe to say certain smells improve our mood, help us relax and reflect the moment we’re living in. As Emma South, Jo Malone London fragrance and lifestyle expert puts it: “Scenting your home allows you to create an environment that engages the senses. “Our sense of smell is so closely linked to our emotions, using scent in your surroundings enables you to change the ambience in your home to suit your mood – or the season.
” Moreover, she says changing fragrance to suit the season is great fun and scents you loved in the winter may not deliver in the summer. “Your favourite home candle will suddenly feel wrong in the heat,” says South. “And something lighter and zestier will be needed to lift the space and mirror the sunshine.
” Jennifer Genson, WoodWick R&D director of fragrance and sensory science at Newell Brands, says: “Fragrance can play a powerful role in your home, even during the warmer months. “Scented candles add a touch of luxury to any space, and can instantly set a mood, whether you’re hosting a special occasion or just elevating the everyday.” During the summer, Genson suggests bringing fresh, sophisticated fragrances into the home to fill the space with vibrant and distinctive scents.
