Seasonal Home Fragrance Guide: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

Seasonal fragrance does not require a complete change of style. Small shifts in freshness, warmth and depth can help the home reflect the time of year.

Spring

Choose airy floral, green and citrus profiles such as neroli, lavender, green tea, bergamot and cotton blossom.

Summer

Use bright, clean and mineral notes such as lemon, grapefruit, sea salt, eucalyptus, fig and white tea.

Autumn

Introduce warmer, earthier profiles including cedarwood, patchouli, saffron, tonka bean, orange and black tea.

Winter

Choose deeper and softer notes such as sandalwood, vanilla, myrrh, frankincense, pine and musk.

Transition between seasons

Pair one note from the outgoing season with one from the next. Bergamot with cedarwood, orange with vanilla or fig with sandalwood create smooth transitions.

Keep room purpose in mind

Seasonal character should still suit the space. Use lighter intensity in bedrooms and stronger structure in larger living areas.
