So, what is the history of home fragrance, and why choose those made with pure essential oils?

Did you know, the use of fragrances in homes dates back thousands of years?

Ancient civilisations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans were among the first to use aromatic substances in their daily lives. The Egyptians used incense and essential oils in religious ceremonies and for personal use. The Greeks and Romans expanded on these practices, using perfumes and scented oils in their homes, baths, and during social gatherings.

During the mediaeval age, the use of home fragrances spread throughout Europe. Herbs and flowers were often used to create pleasant-smelling environments, particularly in places with less sanitisation. 

The Renaissance period saw a significant advancement in the art of perfumery, with many of the techniques and ingredients still in use today being developed during this time.

In modern times, home fragrances have evolved into a sophisticated industry, with luxury brands offering a range of products from scented candles to diffusers and room sprays. These products are not only designed to smell good but also to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a home.

Benefits of gifting our luxury home fragrance products.

Your family and friends will love using our products around their home. Our candles, for instance, come in beautifully designed frosted glass, adding a touch of elegance to anyone’s home decor.

Why choose products made with pure essential oils?

Luxury home fragrance products made with pure essential oils are often considered superior for several reasons. That includes the fact they’re better for our health. 

Because we use pure essential oils from natural sources, which don’t contain synthetic chemicals, they’re much safer. That’s particularly true for people with children and pets in their home. 

Our candles, diffusers and fragrances have many therapeutic properties. Pure essential oils can have a profound impact on mood and well-being. For instance, jasmine is known to alleviate stress and anxiety, while rosemary can improve focus and memory.

They also provide long-lasting scents. Products made with pure essential oils often have a more complex and long-lasting scent compared to those made with synthetic fragrances. The natural compounds in essential oils usually release their scent gradually, so they linger in the air much longer. 

Natural ingredients are better for the environment. 

The production of essential oils has a lower environmental impact compared to synthetic fragrances. The latter involves chemical processes that can be harmful to the environment. 

All our candles havecotton wicks andare made fromhand-poured soy wax, which also burns more slowly. They come with such scents as lime and juniper, bergamot and black tea, white gardenia, burnished amber, frosted fir, and much more.

How to choose the right fragrance for your loved-one.

Start by identifying the types of scents they enjoy. Do they prefer floral, woody, fresh, or spicy notes? Understanding their preferences will help narrow down your choices.

You might also want to think about how they’ll use it. Are you looking for products they will love using in a bedroom? In that case, it’s best to choose scents known for their calming effects. However, living rooms and kitchens better suit scents known for their refreshing and energising properties.

It also helps to think about the purpose of the fragrance. Are they looking for a daily scent, something for special occasions, or a fragrance to help with relaxation or focus?

Whatever you’re looking for, you can be assured of all our products that use pure essential oils. We avoid those with synthetic fragrances and harmful chemicals. All our perfume, bodycare and home fragrance collections are made in the UK. 

They come in beautiful packaging, so are immediately ready for gifting. This also makes them ideal for use in beauty salons, hairdressers and other commercial environments.
