Fragrance Chart

How to “make over” your home, take a tip from the French: layering fragrances

Choose different fragranced products from the same fragrance group e.g. if you like Floral then choose a range of products across the three floral scent categories; floral, soft and sweet. In your home light a Mimosa candle and a Rose Petal candle and place a Tilleul diffuser on the window sill. In your shower or bathroom choose a Cherry Blossom room spray with a Rose liquid soap and Eglantine, Violet and Soir d’Ete bars of soap all from the Argan Oil collection. Hanging in the spare room you might have a Fleur d’Orange scented sachet. For evening sophistication light a Tuberose candle and just before bed, spray your pillows with Rosebud pillow fragrance.  All of these scents around your home will be different but within the same fragrance group - so they all work together to give you a fabulously fragranced home. 

Its great to use the Fragrance groups to try new scents and to use different fragrance combinations to match moods and seasons. As the nights draw in we are drawn to warmer deeper scents with wood and spice notes, why not give products from the woody and aromatic fragrances a try? The festive season allows us to be bolder with stronger richer smells, a fantastic time for cinnamon, cedar, ambers and incense notes. But don’t be afraid to use these scents all year round, see from the fragrance chart how many of these fragrances have lighter, sweeter sides to them, making them perfect products for all year round use. A great example of this is one of our best selling room sprays Lavender and Olive by Savon de Bormes (from the Aromatic fragrance group).

We hope the Fragrance Chart helps you to experiment and try layering fragrances in your home. This is an easy way to transform your home and try out new fragrances that you will love. 

Enjoy!
