Fresh home fragrance for spring

The delicate sight of the first snowdrop and the vivid charm of a new bluebell are a wonderful sign of spring fragrances.

New blooms are synonymous with fresh starts, lighter mornings and longer nights. We leave behind the darkness of winter and step out into the light. Delicate hyacinths, crocuses, snowdrops, and daffodils push up through the ground to discover a new world under the bluest sky. Fresh fragrances encourage us to throw open windows and doors, a sign that hibernation time is over.

The first months of the year are also associated with spring cleaning, the traditional declutter and deep clean within the home. Out with the old, and in with the new. Creating a lighter, brighter, more open space sets the scene for fresh spring fragrances – Honeysuckle, Rose, Jasmine, Lily, Lime, and Bergamot notes are among popular spring choices.
