Scentscape Your Home To Boost Your Wellbeing
Struggling to switch from work to wind down? Master the art of scentscaping, also known as fragrance zoning. This fragrance self-care trend is all about allocating different scents for each space to influence your mood, productivity and wellbeing. Follow our guide with know-how from our in-house team, including the all-important question: Scented Candle, Aroma Reeds or both?
Hallway
As the beginning of your home and the first ‘zone’ your guests enter, it’s important to create a welcoming impression in the. As it’s a very busy, demanding space that can get taken over by storage, we recommend personalising it with a plant, mirror and an uplifting fragrance.
Choose: Orange & Bergamot
Why? Our radiant citrus icon captures a Sevillian courtyard filled with orange trees and neroli blossoms. Aroma Reeds will ensure a steady stream of scent, but to make a long-lasting impression. Our top tip: fragrance layer with a candle to deepen the scent.
Kitchen
Whether it’s trying out a new bake or meal prepping, look to playful and refreshing notes to bring out your creative flair. Aroma Reeds gives the right amount of subtle diffusion and won’t overpower other scents in the room.
Choose: Delicious Rhubarb & Rose
Why? Our floral-fruity classic is a scrumptious recipe of vibrant grapefruit, tart rhubarb and creamy vanilla. Reminding one member of Team MB of her days baking at university, the fragrance brings life to any space.
Bathroom
Your style of ‘escapist’ fragrance will transform this space from a functional room to the ultimate personal spa. Team MB notes that candles are great for extended bathtub moments, while Aroma Reeds are less suited to steamy conditions and are more appropriate for a downstairs cloakroom.
Choose: Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel
Why? Inspired by a salt-sprayed collision of the ocean and rugged outcrops, Senior Perfumer and creator Carla Chabert describes this as an “awakening scent reminiscent of a sea breeze with fresh salted cypress, marine notes and cold spice - the perfect match for an AM bathroom routine”.
Bedroom
When you’re reading, journalling or meditating, seek out rich, warm aromas for your relaxing evening ritual.
Choose: Mesmerising Oudh Accord & Gold
Why? “This resinous fragrance creates a bedroom cocoon that gives sleepy vibes,’’ says Team MB ‘‘The smoky black tea and honeyed notes, like a luxuriously scented blanket.’’ Intensify the experience with an extra candle and gaze at the soothing flicker of flames; a simple way to meditate and unload your thoughts.
