Ambiance Fragrance Guide
What's Your vibe?
Ambiance is describes as the character and atmosphere of a space.
And from time to time we may want a certain 'feel' for our home. We are all used to creating ambiance at home already. Think when it is Autumn time and the nights are dark, stormy and cold and we light a fire, dim the lights and hunker down under a cozy blanket to watch a film. That is creating ambiance. Or if we want to unwind after a stressful week so we light candles and take a long hot soak in the bath with bubbles. That is creating ambiance.
What's fun is that you can also further create the atmosphere you want by using fragrance to help enhance the vibe you are wanting.
Check out this handy guide for ideas on how you can influence the ambiance to a situation.
Casual
Using wax melts that are calming and comforting is key. The tranquility of lavendar or the soothing notes of vanilla would be ideal to get an ambiance fit for a casual occasion such as having friends over.
Formal
You don't want to have something that is overly heavy. So lay off the musks and sweetness if you are looking to to scent a more formal situation like a meeting. Wax melts with citrus notes to promote focus and uplifting would be ideal.
Cozy
Warm, inviting and comfort is the aim for creating a cozy atmosphere. Heavier scents are made for being cozy. Luscious vanilla or thick musks are beautiful scent notes for creating a cozy space.
Intimate
Romance is sweet, delicate and pretty. So enhance that ambiance with using scents with sweet sugary notes, creamy cocoa etc. Feminine florals also work well, especially rose. Opting for a playful and thematic wax melt could be perfect too.
