Scent is one of the most effective methods for changing a home, yet it's rarely considered in preference to visual design. As we select colours, textures, and lighting to each room's use, we can also select scents to adjust how a space feels and works. With the creation of "fragrance zones," you are able to plan fully scented room, inserting invisible layers of mood and atmosphere that change as you move throughout your home. We got in touch with Ridhima Kansal, the director of Rosemoore to know the perfect scent for each corner of the house.

The Kitchen: Fresh and Energising

The kitchen is the central hub of a home, often full of activity. It is where you will want fragrances that have a sense of being clean and refreshing without competing with food smell. You'll find that citrus fragrances such as lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot are perfect—they naturally dispel cooking smells and provide a clean, bright energy. Herbal fragrances like rosemary, basil, and mint also play wonderfully, providing a refreshing atmosphere while blending with the cooking atmosphere. Use reed diffusers or light sprays instead of strong candles that may clash with meal smells.

The Living Room: Inviting and Comforting

Being a place where you tend to congregate and unwind, the living room necessitates soothing, comforting aromas that inspire relaxation. Imagine delicate woods such as sandalwood and cedar blended with overtones of vanilla, amber, or soft spices. These undertones evoke an aura of being enveloped by something warm but elegant yet never overwhelming. You may add layers of seasonal modifications for depth—spring floral undernotes, more potent resins in winter. Electric diffusers and candles are good choices here, releasing fragrance and a gentle ambient light.

The Bedroom: Soothing and Restorative

Bedroom fragrance should relax the senses and send the body a calming message. Traditional soothing aromas are lavender, chamomile, and ylang-ylang, all of which have desired relaxing properties. Delicate powdery musk and green tea notes will also provide a soothing setting conducive to sound sleep. Steer clear of anything too stimulating or sugary, which may be distracting. Linen sprays and pillow mists are great choices, releasing fragrance directly where it will have the most impact—your bed.

The Bathroom: Clean and Spa-Like

Bathrooms are enhanced by fragrances that create a sense of cleanliness and freshness. Peppermint, tea tree, and eucalyptus not only have a fresh scent but also purify the air. For spa-like ambiance, aquatic notes mixed with cucumber or aloe, or light florals such as jasmine and neroli, can be used. Aromatic candles and oil diffusers can accessorise the space, making routine a series of small self-care rituals.

Entryways and Hallways: Establishing Tone

Underutilised, the entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. Use a quiet, yet not quite forgotten scent here—a fusion of green fig and soft flowers or citrus notes coupled with some herbaceous freshness. This one goes beyond perfume-like behavior. The scent will work as a thoughtful gesture of welcome and forge a sense connection your guests won't soon forget.

Scenting with Intent:

As you fragrance your house, consider the transition from one room to another. Scent zones should be harmonious and not compete with one another, creating a cohesive journey as you move through the space. Hold to a general family of fragrance—floral, woody, fresh—or use shared notes to link fragrances together. You want to create an atmosphere in which every room is an individual but the experience is one of harmony.
