Home fragrance thread 🕯️💐🏠

[pocketvenus]

I've been meaning to post about home fragrance in forever, so here's a thread dedicated to candles, sprays, diffuser blends, incense or however else you are scenting your home 🙂

My favourite way of scenting my space is to customize my own diffuser blends but I do like a candle now and then. I love the way the Boy Smells candles look but I have to admit I'm not impressed. The throw isn't great and the wick is slanted so that the candle isn't burning evenly! It smells soooo good though ❤️

@RGbrownWhich one though?  Volcano or Aloha Orchid?  I can't tell.  I feel like Anthropologie is a symphony (maybe a cacophony?) of scents.  It's almost like a Lush.  Do you have any voluspa favorites?  I'm trying to see if I *need* anything since anthro is doing 20% off.  With some of the Capri Blue stuff I feel like I can wait for ulta to do their 20% off post-21-days-sale.

@itscarin, it's Volcano 🙂

Voluspa introduces new scents and designs to the point where I feel I cannot keep up! But you can always try to pick notes that seem to compliment each other.

Also, it's more pricey but if you want a candle with a bit of everything, there's the 34 candle by Diptyque which is a combo of woods, florals and spice and is supposed to evoke the experience of walking into a Diptyque boutique.

@pocketvenusI've never walked into a dipytique before so I have no idea what that smells like.  Sounds promising!  I'm not sure my office is nice enough to justify a $180 diffuser though.  LOL

[pocketvenus]

@itscarinyes, it's pretty expensive for a "cacophony" 😄

[RGbrown]

@itscarin 

Since you've already got floral going with the diffuser, I'd say grab Volcano if you're trying to work up to cacophony, since Aloha Orchid is another floral 😁 

I've never smelled any Voluspa, so I'm of limited assistance there 😯

@itscarin, I can def confirm what @RGbrown says since my Anthro is always burning a candle right by the door. I'm not sure if it's Capri Blue at my location but different internet articles say it's most common. Apparently Target's cleaning products called Smartly are a dupe for the scent too so maybe that could be a lighter option?

I don't care for candles. But I love my essential oil diffusers, and my essential oils. I have single oils that I either mix or use alone, and different oil blends, too. Honestly, usually I only remember to use my diffusers/oils during the fall/winter, though, when I use them mostly for their particular "health" benefits. Like thieves oil, for example. And I just happen to loooove the scent, too. But, I try to remember to use the rest of them, as well.

@lyravega - I agree, we keep Thieves air spray in our bathrooms, the one with cinnamon & clove oil.

[pocketvenus]

@lyravega, I've never heard of thieves oil - sounds really good, I'm going to try to mix some!

I love the lore of thieves oil and I may join you in making it, just for fun.

I am so ready for spring so right now I’m loving the White Barn Fresh cut lilacs candle from bath and body works!
