What is the best home fragrance?

Home fragrance: how does scent influence your mood?

Did you know that scent can positively influence our mood and the way we experience a space? It has been shown that the right scents can stimulate us, calm us or even help us concentrate better. Discover the luxury hotel collection of interior fragrance by Chapel and Jardin and create a scent experience in your own home in which you can relax completely.

With a well-chosen interior fragrance you transform your home into a temple where you can relax undisturbed. Also important: it can help remove unwanted odours, caused by cooking, for example. And although we of course love our pets enormously and would do anything for them, we do want to make sure the scent does not dominate. With the Chapel and Jardin home fragrance collection, you give every room in your home just that little bit extra. Divide up your home and use different scents to do so. Sit back and relax, breathe in, and imagine yourself in a luxury hotel where you can unwind.

What is a home fragrance?

With an interior spray or a home fragrance, you are one step away from giving every room in your home a personal touch and creating a refreshing atmosphere. With a simple press on the nozzle of your room spray, you release your favourite scent. In no time, you ‘colour’ each room as you wish with a different scent. In this way you give your home an invisible makeover, which can do wonders for the mood of you and any guests. What is more, the luxurious bottle is meant to be seen, and can also become a decorative element in your interior.

How do you create a luxurious scent experience at home with a home fragrance?

Scent has the wonderful power to stimulate the senses. It allows us to forge emotional connections and create an experience that you can recall when you smell that same scent again. That one holiday in Bali in that hotel with that beautiful lobby full of Indonesian hardwood furniture and the smell of green tea and white orchid? Or that beautiful hotel in Scotland where you enjoyed the subtle scent of a burning open fire and Darjeeling tea. One spray, and you are there again. The ambient fragrances of the Chapel and Jardin hotel collection have been carefully designed to form a symbiosis between people and their environment. Each scent tells a different story and, with just one spray, transforms your room into an oasis of calm and memory.

Which home fragrance is right for me?

Which home fragrance or scent suits you and your home depends on your personal preferences. Scents evoke emotions and can take you back, with the snap of a finger, to a special journey or a memorable hotel stay, for example. Discover the fresh scents of a field of flowers, a lime, or the warm scent of vanilla or cedarwood, and find the scent for you. 

Most home fragrances are described in one of the following ways:

Floral Fresh Sweet Fruity Spicy Pure

A floral home fragrance is often described as a fine scent and is associated with romance, seduction and passion. Do you want to go back to your wedding night in that one luxury hotel in Paris? Then it is an excellent idea to fill your bedroom with this scent at some point. 

A fresh home fragrance, on the other hand, is ideal for freshening up your surroundings. These provide the ultimate hygiene experience. Fresh scents, such as lemon, orange and lime, are often associated with energy and refreshment. 

All home fragrances that can be described as both very sweet and fresh fall under the fruity scent. The main ingredients are therefore various types of fruit and green notes.

There are also different types of spicy home fragrances. The main ingredients of spicy interior fragrances consist mainly of various types of flowers, spices and wood. The spicy notes are often associated with mysterious, heavy scents from the Middle East, Africa and South America. These are recommended for the cold winter months, or if you are looking for focus, as these scents will invigorate you!

What are scent notes in a home fragrance?

Scent notes are the building blocks that make up the layers of a fragrance. Notes are distinguished on the basis of their volatility: the speed at which a scent evaporates.

Every home fragrance is made up of three different layers of notes: top notes, heart notes and base notes

Top notes are the notes you smell first; they are light and volatile. They determine the first impression of the scent, but remain clearly noticeable for only half an hour. Then they make way for the heart notes and base notes of your fragrance. Common top notes are fresh citrus-like, spicy and aromatic tones.

You do not smell the heart notes straight away. Only when the top notes have faded somewhat do the heart notes blossom. It can take up to a quarter of an hour before the heart notes come through clearly. Once the heart notes are clearly noticeable, you can enjoy these beautiful, often woody notes for up to five hours. Together with the base notes, the heart notes form the core of every home fragrance.

The base notes of your fragrance are the notes you keep smelling the longest. Typical base notes are, for example, sandalwood, musk or vanilla.

Let yourself be tempted by one of our scents. Transform your home into an oasis of calm, coolness, freshness, or that one private island in the Maldives where you celebrated your 30th birthday. It can all be done. Spray yourself into luxury, wherever you are.
