Choosing a scent can feel overwhelming. That's why we've kept our collection intentionally focused on three signature fragrances, each designed to complement modern living spaces and meaningful moments.

Bohemian Rose (BR)

Clean Linen (CL)

Best for: Bathrooms, home offices, guest rooms, spring cleaning

Season: Spring and summer, or anytime you want a fresh atmosphere

Pairs well with: Porcelain, Butter, and Mist colors

Spring Blossom (SB)

Notes: Cherry Blossom | Bergamot | Magnolia | Peony

Light and feminine, Spring Blossom captures the essence of a garden in bloom. Cherry blossom and bergamot create a joyful opening, while magnolia and peony add softness and romance.

How to Choose

Not sure which scent is right for you? Consider:

  • Where will you burn it? Fresh scents work well in bathrooms and offices, while warmer scents suit bedrooms and living areas.
  • When will you burn it? Bright scents are energizing for mornings, while deeper scents help you wind down in the evening.
  • What mood do you want to create? Romance, focus, relaxation, or celebration?

When in doubt, Bohemian Rose is our most versatile and best-selling fragrance — a safe choice for any space or occasion.
