Gardens are full of natural perfume we love to bring the outdoors in when it comes to scent, but there is nothing more frustrating than home fragrances that last for a split second before fading into nothing.
We review some of our favourite botanical home fragrances that last the test of time, with floral hints and refreshing aromas that will make you feel as if you are out in the garden all year long.
Lavender from Long Barn Lavender Growers £19
We are particularly fond of this candle as all the lavender used to create this soothing aroma is sourced from the lavender farm at Long Barn. Long associated with sleep and peace of mind, this candle lives up to the reputation of lavender in setting the perfect atmosphere within a home to encourage rest and recuperation.
RHS Fragrant Garden Lily of the Valley Diffuser Wax Lyrical £13
I’m often slightly wary of lily-scented products as they can be a bit overwhelming in a room. However, the RHS Fragrant Garden Lily of the Valley diffuser radiates a subtle scent of Spring! With its lovely notes of lilac, rose, geranium and green leaf – it creates an aroma of an English Garden.
Country Meadow by Landon Tyler £10
Whether you’re settled in to read a book, relax in a hot bath or meditate, this soft scented London Tyler candle adds the perfect ambiance. With its delicate scented bouquet of country meadow, it is gentle on the senses and fills the room with a delicate aroma.
RHS Fragrant Rose candle Wax Lyrical £16
This beautiful candle from the Royal Horticultural Society had a delicate rose fragrance which filled the room without being overpowering. The candle has 120 hours of burn time and, for the recycling-conscious home owner, the glass can be reused as a vase afterwards.
Green Flowers by Dr Vranjes from Jules B £74.99
This wonderfully refreshing diffuser bring British summertime into your home with a light and delectable scent that rarely fades. Each diffuser comes beautifully packaged with bamboo wands to dispel the fragrance. Switching the wands once upon returning home was sufficient to be provided with a heavenly scent for the entire evening and notes of the perfume lasted well into the following day.
Rhubarb & Raspberry from Beefayre £8
This deliciously fruity candle gives a wonderful burst of fragrance to the home and comes in a delightful bee print glass. The combination of rhubarb and raspberry gives this candle a balmy, summery perfume which doesn’t fade once the candle is extinguished. Made from 100% natural plant wax.
