Think about it. Every luxurious hotel you’ve ever stayed in has smelled amazing, and we’re going to share why.
The answer is simple. Essential oils.
Essential oils are an excellent way to make your home smell just as inviting as your favorite luxury accommodation. They’re subtle yet distinctive and can leave a lasting impression on everyone who visits.
Ready to explore how you can make your home smell like a luxury hotel naturally, without using harsh chemical fragrances that could affect your family’s health? This guide will tell you everything you need to know to get that hotel smell at home.
Create a safe scented home for your family
The best way to fragrance your home is to use 100% pure, organic, sustainably sourced essential oils made from the highest quality plant sources. But it’s also important to choose the right scents and the best way to disperse them to ensure that the scent lasts.
While many chemical fragrance blends contain phthalates and other potentially harmful chemicals that can cause allergies and irritation, Volant’s essential oils are completely natural, allowing you to benefit from their elegant scents without putting your health at risk. They are also organic and sustainably sourced. This ensures that you can use them confidently without worrying about impacting sensitive ecosystems.
With Volant’s diffusers and essential oils, your home can safely smell scent-sational!
Luxurious hotel-inspired scents
There are dozens upon dozens of different scents to choose from for fragrancing your home. However, if you want that luxurious hotel smell at home, there are certain scents that you should choose from to create a similar effect. These scents include:
Citrus scents
Citrus essential oils offer a light, fresh and energizing scent that smells refined and uplifting. This type of fragrance is used in 5 star hotels regularly and often boasts a combination of orange, grapefruit, bergamot, lemon and lime. These scents brighten up rooms and leave them feeling fresh and welcoming. Citrus scents are also ideal for bathrooms and spa settings due to their refreshing nature.
You can use the same combinations of essential oils to achieve that hotel smell at home - all while avoiding the use of scented candles and sprays, which can contain air-polluting ingredients. Volant’s Citrus Boost Set includes sweet orange, lemon and grapefruit essential oils and our Energy blend to help you create the perfect citrus fragrance for your home.
Floral scents
The more flowery scents are also a popular choice for many hotels due to their widespread popularity and feminine, summery feel. There are plenty of different floral essential oils to choose from too, ranging from classics like lavender and rose to more unique options like ylang ylang and geranium.
You can combine your favorite floral essential oils or use them separately to create a signature scent for your home. Try our Organic Geranium Essential Oil and Organic Ylang Ylang Essential Oil to leave your living space smelling like a flower garden in the summer.
Spicy scents
Spicy essential oils like frankincense add a deep, rich and nuanced scent note to essential oil blends to make them more intriguing and memorable. Of course, they can also be used alone to create a stand-out signature smell.
Many hotels use spicy scents to fragrance their rooms in a way that appeals to men and women without seeming overwhelming. Volant’s Organic Frankincense Essential Oil will give your home an earthy, warming scent that is 100% natural and free from harmful chemicals.
Woody scents
Perfect for winter, woody scents bring warmth and depth to the scents used by hotels, helping to create a cozy atmosphere. Cedarwood is one of the most popular choices in this category. It creates a clean and invigorating scent and can be paired with other notes, like citrus, to create gorgeous essential oil combinations for every room in your home.
Volant’s Organic Cedarwood Essential Oil has a robust woody scent that will freshen up your home in no time.
Using essential oil blends for a signature home scent
If you’d like to create your own unique home scent, you may wish to consider using a blend of different essential oils instead of a single oil alone. Volant offers a range of premium, 100% pure essential oil blends that can be used to achieve a specific ambience at home, or to serve a purpose like promoting relaxation, focus or better sleep.
Our essential oil blends make it easy to tailor the scent of your home to your individual preferences and style.
