Creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere in your home involves more than just how it looks. The right fragrance can elevate your space, making it warm, relaxing, and uniquely yours.



Imagine walking into your home and being greeted by a delightful mix of scents that evoke happy memories or simply make you feel like it's good to be home. In this post, we'll explore the art of scent layering to transform your living space.


With Daisy Fresh fragrances available in candles, wax melts, sprays, and diffusers, you can create an scent experience that resonates throughout your home. Let’s dive in!



Understanding Scent Layering


Scent layering is much like layering clothing—each layer adds its own flavour and depth. By combining your favourite fragrance from Daisy Fresh in different formats, you can create a complex and enjoyable aroma throughout your home without overwhelming your senses.


When we create our blend we think of it as building a delicious recipe. For example, starting with a base note like vanilla, adding citrus ambiance and finish off with a base of lavender. Our approach allows you to fill your home with long lasting scents to enhance your mood and the emotional connection within your home.


Choosing a Fragrance


Fragrances are made up of notes, Base-notes, Mid-notes and Top-notes. When exploring our fragrance take note of the base scents, choose a base scent that resonates with you, as its the notes that last the longest in the blend.


Middle notes serve as the heart of your fragrance. For instance, if your base is a warm cinnamon candle, you'll often find that bends well with mid-notes like orange or citrus.

Top notes are the first scents that hit the nose and tend to fade the fastest. These are the scents you'll smell as soon as you open your candle bag, on 'first sniff' shall we say. When you inhale a longer stronger smell you'll pick up the mid and base notes too. Discovering our collection in store allows you to smell all of our scents via our glass cloche's exploring this way is a great experience to really find your favourite.



Knowing When and Where to Layer


It’s essential to think about scent placement. Each room serves a different purpose, so consider how to scent them based on the mood you wish to create.


  • Living Room: Since this space functions as a gathering area, layer scents through candles and sprays. A study found that warming scents like vanilla can increase feelings of comfort by up to 40%.

  • Kitchen: Bright, zesty sprays can enhance this area, making it feel refreshing and clean. Using wax melts can help diffuse the aroma of your cooking, once you've cleaned all the dishes away.


Bedroom: For a restful environment, calming scents like lavender can improve sleep quality. Think of using a diffuser for the bedroom area to continually scent the room without the risk of leaving a candle lit whilst asleep. Boost the scent in the room if watching a film by combining the diffuser scent with a complimenting relaxing wax melts to create a peaceful space.

Positioning your fragrances strategically boosts their effects. A candle on the coffee table, a spray in the hallway, and a diffuser in the bedroom create a cohesive scent experience as you move through your home.


Experimenting with Seasonal Scents


Your home’s fragrance can evolve with the seasons, allowing you to create a refreshing atmosphere year-round. Light, airy scents work well in spring and summer, like cucumber and melon. In Autumn we often look for more indulgent, warm and spicier fragrances, such as pumpkin spice or cinnamon, which can greatly enhance the living areas.


During late winter, rich scents like balsam fir or cedar can evoke warmth. This seasonal approach not only keeps your home feeling fresh but can also trigger pleasant memories associated with specific scents. By changing fragrances with the seasons, you can instantly alter your home’s essence.


Final Touches: Maintaining the Aroma


Once your home is layered with your desired scents, consider how to maintain this aromatic delight. Regularly change your wax melts with our handy Wax Melt Pick and Mix, make sure your remember to regularly turn your reeds in your diffusers to keep the fragrance consistent. Properly caring for your candles by trimming the wicks ensures a cleaner burn and better scent distribution.


Keep windows open when possible for fresh air, especially during the day, as it blends beautifully with your layered fragrances, improving the overall sensory experience in your home.
