From oil burners to linen spray, it’s time to trade in your bog standard reed diffuser — so eau de passé — for something a little more interesting.
Haeckel’s chalk diffuser, perhaps — a simple slab of chalk that, when doused in lavender and wild grass essential oil, crumbles away leaving heavenly wafts of the Margate coast. And then, of course, there is the noble candle — still the matriarch of the home fragrance family that, when carefully selected, is in no way dull or predictable. Both boutique candle brand No 22 and Anya Smells by Anya Hindmarch have produced quirky, surprising scents inspired by the nostalgic aroma of fresh laundry, no less. There’s a plethora of fragrant options out there, so be adventurous and dive in.
