How To Scent Your Home For The Holidays

Getting into the holiday spirit? What better way to feel festive than through scenting your home with some of our 100% natural fragrances…

Once you’ve picked your favorites, we’ve got some tried and tested top tips to make your home a relaxing space to unwind or a welcoming space for entertaining your friends and family…

Set The Tone

First up, have a think about what kind of vibe you’re looking to create… and the type of scents you personally like. Nothing says Christmas quite like our signature festive blends – and they work wonders for sparking holiday cheer. Not only do they help to scent your space but they also bring a wellbeing boost too.

If you love the smell of a roaring open fire, then you’ll love our Cozy Nights Christmas home fragrance scent. With a warming blend of sandalwood, frankincense, and nutmeg, this seasonal scent is stress-busting and grounding – and will leave you feeling calmer and cozier than ever, perfect for recharging on wintery nights in.

Next is our most traditional festive fragrance, called Christmas Wish. Smelling just like a home-baked spiced fruit cake thanks to tonka bean, spicy cinnamon, and zesty mandarin, it’s a real comforter and a favorite for bringing happy, festive vibes.

Or, if you prefer fresher, more uplifting scents, then Perfect Peace is for you. This one smells just like your real pine Christmas tree – super fresh and instantly transports you to a Nordic winter landscape. It really clears the mind whilst also being a brilliant party scent.

If overly festive scents aren’t for you, fear not! We’ve got plenty of other all-natural scents that will still make your home a place of comfort this Christmas. Our Real Luxury is always a winner and is the scent so many of you rely on to de-stress all year round. Or choose Happiness, another of our mood-boosting favorites, for some much-needed joy.

Try Layering Your Scents

While it can be tempting to just pick one source of scent, layering different types of Christmas home fragrance can really help elevate the atmosphere – and we have every base covered with our collection of Wellbeing Pods, Essential Oil Blends, Candles, Reed Diffusers and even our scented Ceramic Stars.

Our iconic Wellbeing Pods are our most customizable option and will scent any space in minutes, especially when you adjust the intensity and duration to suit the mood or moment. Or, choose some of our NEOM Candles, which are great for scenting smaller spaces and adding an additional layer of fragrance over your Wellbeing Pod.

For more subtle holiday home fragrance, our Reed Diffusers give a continuous stream of scent. We also love our Ceramic Stars, which are a great way to scent AND decorate this Christmas. Simply drop your favorite Essential Oil Blend on and hang wherever you like for another fuss-free way to scent your space.

Our go-to places? Hang on door handles or on your tree for a sweet but decorative Christmas home fragrance moment.

Simple Layering Fragrance Tips

If you are going to experiment with layering, always consider the room size and the intensity of scent you’re looking to achieve.

Thankfully each and every one of our scents is made with 100% natural essential oil blends to not only smell incredible, but to also bring a boost of wellbeing too. The beauty of our Holiday Essential Oil Blends is that they work incredibly well on their own – but are intensely beautiful when used together.

Why not go all out and use your Holiday Essential Oil Blend in your Wellbeing Pod for the duration of your day and night and then light a candle (or two) for when guests arrive or for when you’re relaxing in the evenings?

A little side note here, we don’t recommend blending two or more Essential Oils in your Pod. Each of our blends is expertly curated to be perfectly balanced already so no need to start mixing your own!

For long-lasting scents, use your Pod to give you a relaxing base layer to scent your home this Christmas. Then, for pops of freshness, light a candle in the evening, or hang a ceramic star with a complimentary scent blend around your home.

Scent Spaces Differently

Not only do our candles and diffusers impart scents in a different way, but they’re great for creating different vibes too.

Since our Wellbeing Pod is so well-suited for instantly changing the mood of any room, or for helping you to set the tone for any mood, specific moment or occasion, try switching this on first. Drop in your Essential Oil Blend to an intensity which suits you, and then build the rest of your holiday home fragrances around it.

If you’ve not already seen, we have a Pod for every sized space: scent larger rooms in your home with our original-size Pod, smaller rooms with our Wellbeing Pod Mini, and open-plan living or even your entire home with our Pod Luxe.

Or, go room by room to layer different Christmas home fragrances throughout your house. Here’s what we’d suggest:

Kitchen: looking for an uplifting mood boost in the kitchen? With refreshing scents of pine or citrus, try diffusing our Perfect Peace oil through your Pod or lighting our Happiness Candle.

Living room: our Cozy Nights and Christmas Wish Candles are living room must-haves and really do create a cozy atmosphere – which is ideal for relaxing or socializing.

Bedroom: create a moment of calm at bedtime with our dreamy Perfect Night's Sleep Scented Candle – rich with the sweet scents of lavender, patchouli and chamomile.

There’s something effortlessly comforting about lighting Christmas fragrance candles. Not only do you get the soothing benefits of your chosen scent, but the flickering light of a candle feels incredibly festive on a dark and wintery night.

Expert Fragrance Tips And Tricks

Looking to get the best out of your festive fragrances? We’ve pulled together some of our best advice…

For Getting The Most Out Of Your Wellbeing Pod

Each of our Wellbeing Pods work in a slightly different way. So, once you’ve decided on your favorite Christmas home fragrance blend, here’s a quick guide on how to achieve the perfect scent levels…

  • The Original Wellbeing Pod: this iconic staple works best with around 8-10 drops of your chosen scent and can scent your home for up to seven hours.
  • The Wellbeing Pod Luxe: designed for larger spaces, use around 30 drops for the best effect with long-lasting scent diffusion for up to 12 hours.
  • The Wellbeing Pod Mini: for scenting the smaller rooms in your home, our mini (and waterless) diffuser takes scents straight from the bottle – so simply screw in and you’re good to go!

For Scenting With Christmas Fragrance Candles

Choose between a variety of sizes when buying your Christmas Fragrance Candles to find the best one to scent your space. We have travel sized, one wick, and three wick candles – perfect for use throughout your home this festive season.

To make the most of our festive candles, follow our top fragrance tips:

  • Light our 3 wick candles for at least two hours to get a beautiful wellbeing boost – and make sure you always light all three wicks.
  • Let your candle fully pool to help the wax burn evenly. This helps you get the most from each use.
  • Don’t forget to trim your wicks, no lower than 1cm at a time. A trimmed wick makes the flame look clean and bright – and you don’t have to worry about the mushroom end (or untrimmed wick) falling into the wax and giving a murky, grey tone.

For Maximizing Your Reed Diffuser

Reed diffusers are often more subtle in scenting your home, with the strength of the scent depending on how many reeds you’re using, and how often you’re turning them.

For a stronger scent over the holidays, use all of your reeds, and turn them regularly to help disperse the essential oils in the air. While each diffuser jar should last you up to 12 weeks, it’s worth knowing that the more you turn the reeds, the more oil they’ll use.

To keep topped up with your favorite scent, don’t forget to sign up to our Reed Diffuser Refills Subscription! Save money and never run out of your favorite blend this Christmas and beyond…

For Keeping Guests Calm

If you’re hosting over the holidays, why not add a few of our feel-good favorites into their living space to help your guests feel at home and relaxed while staying over?

Pop a soothing Hibernate Scented Candle in their bedroom to help them settle in and feel relaxed. Or, a few spritzes of our Perfect Night’s Sleep Mist on their bedding will ensure a restful night’s sleep.

For Keeping Your Tree Fresh

Nothing beats the smell of a fresh Christmas tree, but keeping it vibrant can be tricky. To keep that fresh Christmas home fragrance alive, try spritzing your tree with water each day and pairing it with the Perfect Peace Essential Oil Blend for that authentic, forest-fresh scent.

For A Festive Kitchen Refresh

Cooking up a storm this Christmas? Keep your kitchen smelling fresh and festive by diffusing our Happiness Essential Oil Blend in your Pod Mini. The citrusy scent will cut through strong food aromas, giving the space a clean, uplifting feel – perfect for when guests arrive for a delicious Christmas feast.

For Elevating Your Table Setting

Want to take your Christmas table to the next level? Create a subtle Christmas home fragrance by placing our Ceramic Hanging Stars into your centerpiece. Add a few drops of Christmas Wish Essential Oil Blend for a warm, welcoming scent that complements your table décor beautifully.
