What gloriously scented things do you have in your house? Bar soap, candles, moisturiser - anything!

I'm pregnant and my sense of smell has gone through the roof. I want to surround myself with wonderfully scented things!

I ran out of face wash the other day so used a bit of my husband's. It has birch sap in it, and is the most intoxicating thing ever. I just stood there letting the shower water go cold breathing it in like a loon Grin

I also keep sticking my nose in various candles and pots of moisturiser etc as I go around the house. It's making me very happy and is helping me ignore the indigestion and back ache.

Favourites so far are the pumpkin Anthropology candle that I'm trying hard not to burn until autumn (but I take the lid off for a sniff) and an empty box that used to contain an order of bar soaps from Chateau du Savon.

So, please tell me, what are your favourite smelly things?

Peppermint Grove candles and reed diffusers from Australia. The different scents are lovely.

Oh and their soap!

Bluntness100 · 30/06/2021 14:33

I use an oil diffuser and my fave is to add drops of amber and ylang ylang Essential oils. Everyone comments on how nice it smells.

Pillow mist from Tropics (I know it's a MLM, I was given it as a pressie).

Rituals Sikara range. If pink had a smell, this would be it!

Also love Superdrug’s vitamin C serum, such a lovely smell in the mornings

Highly recommend the Shetland soap company, lovely scents and they are socially conscious employing people with disabilities too, win win

My neom pod. I love it! It makes me so happy

FiveGoMadInDorset · 30/06/2021 14:44

I make candles so always testing new fragrances and old ones in new jars, at the moment I have dark honey and tobacco, blackberry and Bay and rock salt and Driftwood, it will be Christmas here in the next week or two

By the fireside perfume by Replica - I love this scent - it’s a smoky vanilla with a woody base. Like wearing a hug. Really wish they would extend the range to candles/diffuser oil too.

Dyptique orange blossom room spray - lasts ages, delicate floral orange scent - very French.

This Works pillow spray - lavender and other sleep inducing oils - (smells slightly medicinal in a good way)

Heyland and Whittle Frankincense Reed diffusers (beautifully Christmassy but hard to get hold of)

Paripale · 30/06/2021 14:47

Shearer Candles Frankincense & Myrrh Scented Reed Diffuser Is also amazing!

Paripale · 30/06/2021 14:50

Sorry to thread hog but smells are my thing! This too is awesome- very clean but with a good deep base - I had this in my hall after I gave birth to my baby girl last year and could not stop smelling it:

Fenjal body lotion, badedas bath gel, and j just bought some dark purple candles from Morrison’s because I needed dark purple candles and they have made my whole bedroom smell amazing ( unlit) took me a few days to work out what it was but it’s lovely !

It's called fresh air, I open my windows and patio doors. Hate over-scented candles.
