Yazhini ManimudiThere are several ways to add scent to your everyday life, from personal fragrances like perfumes, solid perfumes, hair mists, and scented lotions to home fragrances like reed diffusers, bakhoor, scented candles, and room sprays.
Room sprays were once an afterthought when it comes to the ambiance of a room. Something bought at the cleaning aisle at the supermarket in an aerosol spray can, room sprays have made a space for themselves in the luxury fragrance world. Niche and designer perfume houses have joined in, offering both original scents and their more popular perfumes in the form of room sprays. Here are a few that will have your home smelling just as wonderful as you.
Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin
100ml
AED 240
Notes: Lime, Basil, Mandarin
Citruses are quite popular in home fragrances, but the citruses of Lime Basil & Mandarin are incomparable. A hint of woodiness with thyme and basil adds cooling aromatic facets to the aroma. Made after Jo Malone’s popular cologne of the same name, your room will smell just as bright and classy as you.
Diptyque Ambre
150ml
AED 328
Notes: Leather, Woody Notes, Amber
It’s a luxurious blend of resinous amber with leather and woody notes. A lot of their personal fragrances are designed to be intimate with not much projection. But Ambre is strong and fills a room with its powerful scent quite well. That makes it more apt for a larger home, less so for a chic studio apartment.
Loewe Tomato Leaves
150ml
AED 535
Notes: Tomato Leaves, Fir Balsam, Oak Moss, Blackcurrant
Loewe’s Tomato Leaves is so wonderful it is now synonymous with the fragrance of tomato leaves. Actual tomato leaves are in competition with this rather pricey room spray for the best tomato leaf scent. It’s fresh, green, and will fill the room like an actual tomato orchard brought to your home. It’s a unique mix between freshly cut grass and crunchy aromatic herbs. It offers a bitter-sharp profile that is somehow pleasant. This bright summer garden of a fragrance is also available as a scented candle.
Lootah Al Rams
150ml
AED 230
Notes: Cardamom, Saffron, Jasmine, Patchouli, Sandalwood
This is a fragrance so beautiful I would wear it as a personal fragrance (this is not recommended practice). I first tried it at the Emirates Perfumes and Oud Exhibition in Sharjah and was dazzled at once. It’s a beautiful patchouli fragrance with a blend of spices and a gentle jasmine. It’s also suitable to spray on upholstery to have the room fragranced for longer.
Fornasetti Talvolta Room Spray Architettura
100ml
AED 885
Notes: Citruses, Jasmine, Tuberose, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla, Woody Notes
Room sprays are often hidden away in the cleaning cabinet, brought out only to hide unpleasant smells. Fornasetti turns their room sprays decorative objects, an elevated art piece that adds not only to the air but also the appearance of the room. With white florals, comforting vanilla, and a complex woody base of rosewood, cedar, and sandalwood.
