Choose a warm scent for the living room and bedroom, a fresh one for the kitchen and bathroom, and a woody one with character for the hall. At Insphirea those are Reposea (vanilla and caramel), Harmonea (bergamot and lemon) and Invigorea (sandalwood and amber). Below, room by room, why, and how to combine them.
Living room and bedroom: warm and soft
These are the rooms where you land at the end of the day, so choose a scent that wraps around you rather than wakes you up. Reposea is our warm line: vanilla and soft floral notes at the top, a heart of vanilla and caramel, and a base of musk and wood. Light the candle as soon as it gets dark outside and let the scent fill the room slowly. A hand-poured Reposea candle made from 100% sunflower wax burns for around 50 hours, enough for weeks of evenings.
Want that same warmth during the day, without keeping a flame going? The reed diffuser gives a continuous base scent in the background, day and night. Together, candle and diffuser cover the room's whole rhythm. Discover the warm line at Reposea.
Kitchen and bathroom: fresh and clear
In rooms where you want clean, clear air, a fresh scent works better than a sweet one. Harmonea opens with bergamot, lemon and red fruit, with a floral heart of jasmine and rose and a soft base of moss and cedarwood. Lovely after cooking, or as a fresh touch in the bathroom. A room spray works especially well here: two or three spritzes and the room smells fresh straight away. See the fresh line at Harmonea.
Hall and entrance: a scent that stands out
The hall is the first thing you smell when you come in, and the first thing guests notice. Choose something with character here. Invigorea is bold sandalwood, cedarwood and amber: a warm, fiery signature that draws attention without being overpowering. From this newest line there is now the Invigorea reed diffuser of 250 ml, ideal to keep in the hall permanently so the scent is always there. Discover the woody line at Invigorea.
Want a room to smell lovely all day? Combine two or three layers that complement each other: a candle for the evening, a reed diffuser for the constant base, and a room spray for a quick boost in between. Keep it within one scent line where you can, so the layers strengthen each other instead of clashing. You can read exactly how to build that in Layering scent for a full effect at home.
