There’s nothing that can make a bigger impact in terms of setting the ambiance for a space than home fragrances. After all, there is something very luxurious about walking into a home filled with curated scents. A great scent can lift our moods and stimulate warm and cosy feelings. And while candles might be the first thing that pops up in your head, there are several different home fragrances to set the vibe. Here are a few things to get your home to smell nice that aren’t candles.
Get Your Home To Smell Great With Things That Are NOT A Candle!

Simple to use and available in a ton of different scents; reed diffusers are all the hype. Just insert the reeds into scented diffuser oils and sit back and relax. The reeds do it all by soaking up the scent and emitting a pleasant aroma around your home.

A diffuser dispenses essential oils into the air, making the entire space smell wonderful. All you need to do is add 10-15 drops of diffuser oil into the filled ultrasonic diffuser water tank and set the vibe. The IRIS Ultrasonic Diffuser is a fab choice as it’s small enough to fit in any space. Ultrasonic diffusers are a safe and popular choice for in-home use. Just remember to always operate a diffuser in a well-ventilated area.
Other Options: Home Centre and Divine Aroma have a couple of electric diffuser options.
Smell The Flowers With Potpourri
₹450

One thing you can find in any fancy hotel or spa is a big bowl of potpourri. This mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant materials is a must-have at home. IRIS does a bunch of home fragrance options and this rose potpourri one is a fine choice. Place in a decorative bowl anywhere in your house and enjoy the freshness for a long time. Make sure to not let your home get too hot as the potpourri can start smelling weird.
Other Options: IKEA and Nestasia offer a splendid variety of potpourri.
Burn The Wax Melt Burner
₹1299
If aesthetics are your thing, then go for a tealight diffuser. Use scented wax melts to enjoy as the wax temperature rises, melting the wax and releasing fragrance. Wax melts are cheaper than essential oils. This Owl Oil/Wax Melt Burner by The Orby House is a stoneware ceramic delight in charcoal black. For more options, check out more at LBB.
