The kids are back in school. Everyone is home from summer vacation. The Farmers market is selling apples again. In the beautiful Santa Clarita Valley where we live, it is a little difficult to see the changing of the seasons and the leaves changing colors. But, you can experience the scents of the fall season in your home or office right away. It is time to change the home fragrance “family” from the summer fruits and fresh fragrances to the “Harvest” family of fragrances: pumpkin, cinnamon, apples, caramel, currant, pomegranate, and even tuscan olive. The other wonderful fragrances are the food-oriented fragrances of fresh baked goods: cookies, nut bread, biscotti, coffee cake. You get the idea.
To maximize the fragrance experience, use multiple home fragrance options: scented Jar candles, reed diffusers, electric home fragrance plug-ins, and jar warmers. Use a mix of these fragrance families as you “layer” the scents. For example, pumpkins are complemented with cinnamon. For a touch of sweetness, add in Vanilla or Whipped Cream. You can establish your own “recipes” that family and friends will ask you to share. Many of the options are flame free, and you can light the candles when you are home for the ultimate experience. The beauty of this is 24 hours a day fragrance, not just when you light the candle.
Enjoy the scents of fall, and don’t forget that Halloween is just around the corner. Decorate your home with “scary” witches and goblins, and see the smile on everyone’s face when they come home and can sense the “scents of the season.” Fall is in the air!
