How long do home fragrances last?

It depends on the format. A 270g candle typically offers 55 to 60 hours of burn time across multiple uses. A 350ml reed diffuser provides three to four months of continuous passive scent. Room sprays deliver an immediate burst that fades within a few hours, making them better suited to quick refreshes than lasting fragrance. Burn habits, room size, airflow and temperature all affect longevity.

How do I choose the right home fragrance for a room?

Consider the size of the space and how you use it. Candles work well in living areas and dining rooms where you want scent tied to a moment — lit for an evening, then extinguished. Diffusers suit hallways, bathrooms and bedrooms where a constant, low-level fragrance is preferred. Room sprays are best for an immediate refresh or for spaces you move through quickly. Lighter, fresher compositions tend to suit smaller rooms; richer, warmer notes carry better in larger open spaces.

Are natural fragrances better for the home?

Natural fragrances use plant-derived essential oils and botanical extracts rather than synthetic compounds, which means fewer volatile chemicals released into your living environment. They tend to produce a more nuanced, evolving scent that changes subtly over time rather than remaining static. For households with sensitivities to artificial fragrances — or for anyone who prefers a cleaner approach to scenting their home — natural compositions are worth considering.

Can I layer different home fragrances in the same space?

Yes, provided the compositions complement rather than compete. The simplest approach is to use the same scent across formats — a candle and diffuser in the same fragrance, for example — to build depth without clashing. If mixing different scents, keep one dominant and the other subtle, and avoid pairing two equally strong or complex compositions in the same room.
