5 ways to add more atmosphere with scent

You do not create atmosphere with one grand gesture, but with small, familiar moments. Scent is the fastest tool you have for that: one hint and the mood in a room changes. These five tips show how to bring more atmosphere into your home with scent and a little styling, every single day.

1. Build an evening ritual around your candle

Atmosphere begins with a moment that keeps coming back. Light the same candle every evening as soon as it gets dark, and your home gains a fixed point of rest. The Reposea candle is ideal for this: warm vanilla, caramel and musk, hand-poured from 100% sunflower wax and good for around 50 burning hours. After a few evenings the scent belongs to your evening.

2. Layer scent per room

One scent source gives atmosphere, several layers give depth. Combine a candle for the evening, a reed diffuser for the constant base, and a room spray for a quick boost in between. That way a room smells lovely all day, not only while the candle burns. How to build that smartly without scents clashing, you can read in Layering scent for a full effect at home.

3. Choose fresh or warm per room

Every room has its own mood. Warm and soft in the rooms where you spend your evenings, fresh and clear in the kitchen and bathroom. The Harmonea reed diffuser with bergamot, lemon and red fruit gives a kitchen or bathroom a fresh base, while Reposea makes the living room warm.

4. Change with the seasons

Atmosphere feels natural when the scent matches the time of year. In spring and summer the fresh Harmonea line feels light and clear, while in autumn and winter the warm Reposea takes over with its soft, enveloping tone. A room spray is the easiest way to make such a switch, because you can bring it in whenever you like without replacing anything.

5. Give atmosphere as a gift

A scent gift is atmosphere you pass on. A gift set lets the recipient get to know a whole line: candle, reed diffuser and room spray in one, or a Discovery Set to explore a scent calmly first. Add a luxe gift bag and the present is instantly complete.
