Scent Your Sanctuary: Best Home Fragrances & Aromatherapy Tips

Why Home Fragrance Matters

A well-chosen fragrance does more than mask odors—it sets the mood of your home. From sparking joy to calming the mind, scents connect directly to emotional wellness and memory. Whether guests linger or you enjoy a quiet moment, fragrance shapes the experience.

Explore Reed Diffusers: Effortless Elegance

Reed diffusers use capillary action to gently disperse essential-oil-infused scent, providing flameless, continuous aroma. Ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices, they require minimal effort—just occasional reed-flipping and refills.

• Passive, safe & long-lasting: great for low-maintenance fragrance.
  
  

• Aromatherapy benefits: Pure essential oils in reed diffusers can improve air quality, reduce stress, and enhance mood.
  
  

• Check out Fig Living’s curated reed diffuser selection for luxurious, sustainable options with refillable designs.
  
  

Scented Candles: Warmth and Ambiance

Candles offer stronger scent throw and a cozy visual appeal — perfect for living rooms or special evenings. Opt for soy or beeswax candles with cotton wicks to minimize VOCs and soot.

• Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn and limit sessions to 4 hours to preserve air quality.
  
  

• For balanced ambiance use Fig Living’s signature scented candles—each rich in fragrance and crafted for wellness.
