Toss out your notions of smoky, icky, nauseating dorm room incense. There has been a revolution in the scent world with diffusers, gorgeously scented candles, etc. Now, this is not particularly newsworthy, but I wanted to share with you some of my favorite additions to the world of happy noses.
As fall approaches consider switching out the fresh, clean scents of summer with something a little more earthy, spicy or mysterious. Choose aromas like ginger, orange, rosewood, sandalwood, bergamot, jasmine, or vanilla for a heady, warming fragrance. Save the coconut, basil, lime, litchi, florals, etc. for spring and summer.
My favorites are the GORGEOUS scents from Voluspa because I have been a big fan of their candles for years. They have some really stunning incense that smells nothing like the cheap stuff you bought in high school. I promise you will be blown away. The Cucina diffuser is perfect for the kitchen or dining room, and Thymes makes perfect aromas for bathrooms and bedrooms. Finally, Dayna Decker has crafted one of the most seductive and sexy diffusers I have ever seen.
Reed Diffusers by Thymes
$40.00-$60.00
Simple, elegant and sophisticated are the words to describe the diffuser collection by Thymes. Bamboo reeds absorb the scented oils and release them into the room. Choose from Anjou Vert, Blue Lotus, Frasier Fir, Malagasy Vanille, Neroli Blossom, Oolong Cassis, Sweetleaf Baby Nursery, Tamarind Lychee, and Verbena Bamboo. Love, love, love these!
Voluspa Incense Sticks
$8.00 for 25 sticks
I do have bias towards Voluspa, simply because their candles have the most glorious scent I have ever burned in my apartment. But these long-burning incense sticks are wonderfully earthy and come in Honey Orange Bloom, Sake Lemon Flower, Crisp Champagne, Italian Tangelo, and Red Amber.
Cucina Wand Diffuser Set: Lime Zest and Cypress
$26.99
Cucina makes my favorite kitchen hand soap and lotion, and their signature Mediterranean-inspired fragrances are translated into these simple, classic diffuser sets. They created them specifically for use in the kitchen or dining room, so the scents won’t compete with the aromas of your dinner party.
Couture Essence Diffuser
$160.00
Drop…dead…gorgeous. Dayna Decker created a sleek ebony glass filled with some beautiful, chic fragrances. The diffuser is a perfect hostess gift for the hip, urban modernist. Choose from an array of sophisticated scents: white tuberose, opoponax, khaya, sandalrose, jacaranda blossoms, and pink couture.
