Improve Concentration with bergamot With many of us either working from home, homeschooling, or both, it feels hard enough to create a routine to stick to on a daily basis let alone trying to create a productive environment within our homes. Thankfully, certain fragrances can help to improve concentration, helping us to focus when we might need it most. Bergamot is renowned for its rejuvenating properties, with its distinctively awakening citrus scent helping to clear our minds. This, combined with the floral notes of geranium, helps to create an energising boost for anyone working from home or homeschooling; making our Bergamot & Geranium Reed Diffuser the perfect addition to any home office. Scents to Uplift Bring the Outdoors In Winter walks are growing in popularity, allowing us an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature and explore our local surroundings. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that one of the top home fragrance trends, which is set to continue this year, is bringing a sense of the outdoors into our homes. Woody and aromatic home scents, such as cedarwood, create a welcoming addition to any space, particularly open areas such as hallways. Try placing our Cedarwood & Citrus Reed Diffuser on top of a console table or hallway shelf to extend the fragrance throughout your home. Not only will the refreshing aromas create a welcoming burst of fragrance as soon as you return home from your walk outdoors, they’ll also complement the floral citrus notes of bergamot and geranium from your home office.

Living in the same space we’re working in or the pressures of home schooling make it harder for our minds and bodies to wind down in the evening. Jasmine is well-known for its sleep-enhancing properties and soothing aromas. Following on from the fragrance ‘journey’ created in the hallway and home office, creating a soothing environment with floral notes in our lounge or bedroom can help us prepare for a restful night’s sleep. Few things in life are more relaxing than the ambient flicker of a scented candle, making our Jasmine & Philadelphus Scented Candle the perfect addition to any living space.
