Creating a Scented Sanctuary: How to Elevate Your Home with Fragrance - July 2025

At Nero Bianco, we believe scent is the soul of the home. It has the power to calm, to inspire, and to create a lasting impression long after a guest has left. In today's fast-paced world, carving out small moments of stillness through scent is a quiet luxury and one that's easy to achieve.

1. Define the Mood of Each Room

Start by thinking about how you want each space in your home to feel.
- Living Room: Create warmth and welcome with deep, comforting scents like Cashmere & Oud or Tonka & Velvet Amber. A triple-wick candle placed in the centre of the room adds both atmosphere and impact.
- Bedroom: Opt for calming fragrances like Blackcurrant & Oakmoss or Sandalwood & Leather. Pair a reed diffuser with a single votive on the bedside table for a soft, lingering scent that soothes you to sleep.
- Kitchen: Fresh, clean scents like Lime, Basil & Mandarin or Gooseberry & Elderflower help balance the space and neutralise lingering food aromas.

2. Layer Your Scents

Much like layering textures in interior design, layering scent adds depth and dimension. Start with a reed diffuser as your base scent, then enhance with a candle in a complementary fragrance. Add wax melts for moments when you want an instant boost ' perhaps before guests arrive or for weekend self-care.

3. Use Fragrance to Reinforce Rituals

Scent can help anchor your routines and create intention in your day:
- Light a candle during morning journaling
- Mist an electric aroma diffuser with Sleep essential oil blend in the evening
- Keep a luxurious hand wash and lotion duo at the kitchen sink to elevate daily tasks

4. Don't Forget the Details

The little things matter. Our wax melt burners, gift sets, and ceramic homeware pieces are designed to blend seamlessly into your space while bringing function and form.

5. Refresh Seasonally
Your home evolves with the seasons ' and your scents should too. Opt for fresher blends in spring/summer (like Rhubarb & Black Plum) and warmer, richer tones for autumn/winter (such as Cuban Tobacco & Oak).
