Setting a Mood in Your Apartment with Scent

(Rate this article)

Animal – Musk is perhaps the most popular in this category. Be wary when scenting with Musk as it can negatively affect sensitive individuals or people with allergies. It is a very strong and sometimes harsh fragrance that is used for its sensual properties. It’s best used in small amounts or mixed with other fragrances. Honey can either fit into this category or into the sweet category. It is a scent that comforts and soothes.

Finally, we just wanted to share with you some tips on making scenting your home a fun and enjoyable experience.

If you don’t want to use flame to scent your apartment but have a lot of candles, break the wax up into little chunks and melt in an electric burner. Not only is this method safer, it diffuses more scent into the air without the smoke.

Don’t be afraid to mix it up. Add vanilla to any fragrance for a softer sweeter blend. Musk can added to an essential oil mix to bring about a romantic mood.

Don’t be offended if someone does not like the scent you are using. Each person’s sensibilities can differ quite a bit and although many scents generate positive emotional responses triggered by memories, there are an equal amount that also can bring about a negative reaction for the same reasons.

Test your scents before you buy them. Essential oils can be expensive. To make sure that you are getting a fragrance for your home that will bring about enjoyment, calm and energy, insist on sampling the oil or deeply inhaling the scent of the candle before you purchase it.

Look for natural ingredients in oils, candles and other fragrances. Synthetic aromas may cause sensitivity in some individuals.
