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?

I'm loving the Molton Brown Oudh Accord range at the moment.

viques · 30/06/2021 16:46

Dyptique candles, (though they are not being lit at the moment, see below), floris bath essence, eau de soir perfume.

And a bunch of home grown sweet peas from my garden in a jar next to me.

Also in the garden are honeysuckle and jasmine , I open all the back windows in the evening to scent the whole house

For candles i buy Isle of Skye candles - all lovely and last well.
I have a friend in the Middle East who send s me frankincense resin which I put in my oil burner. I love it.

For natural scents at this time of year its sweet peas, honeysuckle and night scented stock in the garden

Nivea sunshine shower gel

Next summer sun perfume (they do a lotion and shower gel too)

PhloxOfSheep · 30/06/2021 20:56

I want something for every room in the house!

Maybe it's time to open the Seven Seventeen "Hello Calm" reed diffuser I was given last year. I think it's Moroccan Rose scented. Their "Off Duty" scent is lovely too - lime, basil and mandarin.

Buy some Wrights Coal Tar soap. I like the smell and it's strong

MadameOvary81 · 30/06/2021 21:22

The whole Sol De Janeiro range of bath and body products...especially the shampoo. I walk around sniffing my hair all day. It's like a tropical paradise. www.lookfantastic.com/brands/sol-de-janeiro.list?autocomplete=searchsuggestion

PhloxOfSheep · 30/06/2021 21:28

@NotMyCat Ooh I like the visual temptation!

The bar soap recommendations are particularly timely, as mine has just run out. Decisions decisions...

Nuxe shower and body cream. Scent stays on my skin all day.

MrsTophamHat · 30/06/2021 21:32

Elemis bath milk. It makes the whole upstairs of the house smell gorgeous.

Dyptique mimosa and fig candles. Jo
Malone red roses bath oil. Jasmine oil from the Imperial Hotel in Delhi. Elemis frangipani body oil. But if I want something really delicious I bury my face in my big tabby cat's biscuity fur.

I have to try that. It sounds gorgeous!
Pantsomime · 30/06/2021 21:43

Few garden flowers on my wfh desk with window open behind to get the breeze blowing the smell onto me. At different times currently- few sweet peas, strand of honeysuckle, one or two rose heads, elderflowers off the bushes in bloom ( only last a day but plenty at the moment)

Davros · 30/06/2021 21:44

big tabby cat's biscuity fur. Do they do that in a candle?
