Set The Mood, Outside and In
When summer’s in full swing, a switch-up in scent is sometimes all it takes to bring renewed energy to our wellbeing toolkits and make home feel like a proper summer haven. Not sure where to start? Here's our five top tips for making the most of your wellbeing scents both outside and indoors this summer.
1. Bring The Outside In...
No outside space? No problem! Have a think about which fresh scents will bring that ‘apero on the terrace’ feeling inside and help with your most pressing summer wellbeing need. Perhaps that's investing in a sleepy scent to help you drift off during a heatwave, or cultivating your dream scented garden inside. We’re loving being able to do this with some of our favourite Bath & Body scents which are now available as limited-edition Essential Oil Blends and Scented Candles:
First up for a sunny state of mind we’re loving the burst of wild mint and mandarin in our Great Day Scented Candle in beautiful sun-soaked packaging, to bring summer vibes with its scent and look great with our summer home decor too.
And for a fresh zing of energy? We’ll be adding a few drops of Energy Burst Essential Oil Blend into our Wellbeing Pods, to bring that scent of spearmint, rosemary and eucalyptus straight to our space when we need a fresh boost in the heat.
2. …And the Inside Out
Long, lush evenings in the garden (or on a balcony) can be a de-stressing delight in themselves, so why not add a wellbeing boost, and really set the vibe if you’re entertaining? This summer we’ll be adding a little extra calm to evenings al fresco with our Complete Bliss Citronella Scented Outdoor Candle, made with 100% natural Moroccan rose, lime, black pepper and citronella, a soft scent with a hint of warmth and zest.
This one has been made specifically for the outdoors - as we’ve made it with an outdoor naturally derived wax and sturdier wick to make them perfect for outside use, during a summer breeze.
3. Make It A Cool Welcome
Nothing beats a Reed Diffuser for gentle, ‘always on’ scenting to greet you as soon as you walk through the door, so in summer the one you put in the hallway should be the first thing you want to experience after a day in the heat. Try switching to a light, citrussy fragrance like Squeeze The Day to fill the space with waves of fresh, cool scent. Our blend of 100% natural grapefruit, mandarin and eucalyptus is the scent equivalent of a cold, fruity beverage, expertly blended to help give you a blast of that fresh feeling.
4. Keep The Feel Good Going
Summer scenting doesn’t have to stop at one room or even at home, in fact we’ll be packing our favourite summer scents and taking them on the go in our Wellbeing Pod Minis. Think an uplifting scent like Great Day for when the summer road trip is less than sunny, Feel Good Vibes to kick off that first day in a new place or our sparkling Happiness blend to scent your smaller rooms with uplifting, 100% natural fragrance.
5. Layer Your Scents
And finally… we’re all about summer layers and switching scents to suit your mood. Have a think about switching out some of the wellbeing favourites you use in your Wellbeing Pod to compliment (or boost!) the scents you’ve chosen for your Reed Diffuser or Scented Candles. A few drops at the touch of a button can help turn a subtly scented space into a real haven of calm, a sleepy retreat or an oasis from the heat.
