Summery home fragrance

I am fully obsessed with home fragrance at the moment. Wander through my house and you’ll find candles dotted in most rooms and the odd reed diffuser for good measure. There’s something so nice about having a lovely smelling home and for me, summer is all about picking some fresher scents that seem to echo the sunshine and warmer weather. These are a few of my current favourites.

Kiss Air Candles Ice Cream Parlour Collection* – if you’re on a diet, I’d recommend staying away from these candles as they smell absolutely AMAZING. Each one in the range has been inspired by an ice cream flavour – from Salted Caramel (Oh. My. God), to Mango Sorbet. You only need a few hours of burn time to get the most delicious fragrances coming from them and each candle should last about 30 hours when burnt correctly. They’re also a fantastic budget option as they’re just £8.50 each.

Orla Kiely Sicilian Lemon Reed Diffuser* – I’m a big lover of citrus smells and the new Sicilian Lemons range from Orla Kiely is just up my street. The reeds manage to fragrance an entire room really easily and the fresh scent makes it perfect for placing in the living room/kitchen for a refreshing scent. I’d avoid popping this particular scent in your bedroom as it might be a bit too invigorating, but they’ve also created Fig Tree, Orange Rind and Lavender, as well as candles in each scent. I love the fact they’ve incorporated the Orla Kiely print across the diffuser base – it’s such a nice touch. £32

Timothy Dunn Grecian Lime Candle* – luxury candles are a bit of a weakness of mine and Timothy Dunn is definitely a brand to check out if you’ve not tried them before. The range was created by Timothy, who wanted to share the scents and memories he’d experienced through his travels, and did so by creating his home fragrance range. My favourite so far is the Grecian Lime, which is zesty and fresh and makes the entire downstairs of my house smell like a sunny citrus field. Yum. Other scents in the range include Arabian Fig, Tiger Eye and Azure, all of which are making me dream of sunshine holidays right now. £36 each

Flamingo Candles Scent Melts* – I wrote about the new Melt Crowd subscription box from Flamingo Candles a few weeks ago and I’m still loving the range of scent melts from my first box. The Melts are used with a scent burner and as the wax melts, they let off an amazing perfume that lasts for hours. I’d highly recommend signing up for the Melt Crowd monthly box as it’s great value, but if you fancy trying a range of Scent Melts in the meantime, they’re just £2 each. There’s over 35 scents to choose from, including Mango & Dragonfruit, Daisy and Kir Royale.
