The easiest way to bring fragrance into your home

Sponsored by Air Wick

We’d all love our homes to smell gorgeous (and I’d go as far to say fragrance is an important final layer of an interior) but diffusers, burners and air fresheners haven’t always been known for their good looks! And, if like me, you won’t have anything out on show unless it looks the part, this can mean they don’t have a place in your home. Oil burners and scented candles on the other hand, often look stylish, but aren’t the most practical option, especially with kids.

Air freshener never looked so good, right?!

Enter the new Air Wick Essential Mist, with its smart, compact, black design, which will sit unobtrusively on your shelf or coffee table. Good looks: tick! It diffuses fragrance infused with essential oils into the air for a few seconds automatically over an eight-hour period (you can choose one of three intensity levels) so it’s not wasted overnight. It’s pretty cool to watch. Check out the video below.

 

The unique technology produces a mist, carrying the scent through the air in a gentler way than other air fresheners. I’m loving waking up and walking into a room that smells so lovely and fresh without having to do anything! This has to be the easiest way to have fragrance infused with essential oils in your home all the time.

To get going, you simply open the unit, click in the bottle of fragrance, add three AA batteries, put the lid on and you’re good to go for up to 45 days. There are four fragrances to choose from; my favourite Peony & Jasmine, plus Fresh Water Breeze, Mandarin & Sweet Orange and Cinnamon & Crisp Apple (sounds perfect for the autumn months ahead!). Refills are available from Coles and Woolworths for just $8.

Unlike other diffusers, you don’t need to add water, which means no chance of spillage, plus: lazy! And because there are no cords, you can move it around the house with ease; in my case, to wherever the latest noxious nappy change has occurred, for example!

The Air Wick Essential Mist is half price at Woolworths until 13 March, saving you $15! Shop online.

Room mists from Voyager you can proudly leave out on the side!

There are a few things frustratingly absent from the Australian market in my opinion, and one of them is good-looking, great-smelling, reasonably priced room sprays. I cannot have one of those garish-coloured air freshener aerosols left out in my bathroom, I just can’t! But we all need something to disguise those unwanted whiffs, right?!

Voyager Room Mists 11

 

So I’m delighted to see Voyager, a local brand I love and whose candles I chose for my wedding reception last year, have brought out their own room mists in three fragrances inspired by gardens around the world. And hooray, they include Alexandra, “my wedding smell,” as I like to call it. Just a sniff takes me back to the best day of my life. Ah, bless…

Voyager’s Kerrie Golias developed the fragrances together with an internationally renowned perfumer to produce exclusive blends that are complex, subtle and elegant, inspired by the travels of a voyager. “With only a few sprays of a Voyager room mist, one can be momentarily transported to another time and place.”

Apart from my wedding day, Alexandra conjures up relaxing Melbourne coastal drives and jetty walks. Augusto will take you to the sun soaked beaches of Capri, or you can surround yourself with the scent of Serpentine, igniting your dreams of walking the cobbled streets of London.

Made in Melbourne using the finest fragrances, Voyager Perfumed Room Mists produce a balanced blend of soft and weighty notes that complement each other. For details of stockists in Australia and Hong Kong, visit www.voyagerlife.com.au. I highly recommend their candles too.

RRP $32.
