If you love fragrance in your home, here are some recommendations from fragrance expert Sue Phillips:
For the kitchen, baking bread is always a hit, but on days when you aren't baking, try the bright, fresh scents of citrus, like lemon, lime and orange.
Bedroom: Fragrances like lavender, chamomile or sandalwood are all known to be relaxing. Light florals like jasmine or rose are romantic.
Home office: Try peppermint for pep. Lemon balm has actually been studied for its stimulating effect on mental performance and mood.
Living room: Stay subtle and agreeable. Cedarwood or sandalwood with hints of lavender and vanilla encourage a feeling of comfort.
