The guide
Choosing a fragrance for each room
A small ceramic owl like this burns best with an even melt each time — and then becomes a keepsake.
Bedroom and bathroom
Softer, rounder fragrances such as lavender, jasmine, vanilla or sandalwood suit rooms where you want to wind down.
Kitchen and hallway
Fresher scents — citrus, linen, herbs — cut through cooking smells and greet people at the door without feeling heavy.
Living home
Warm and spiced scents suit the twilight, and a candle in a larger container floods a bigger space. This one, with lavender, is easiest to place by reading those notes against the home.
