5 Home Fragrances that Last

So, you just arrived home after your Detroit Maid appointment. Everything is spotless. Your house that once looked like a tornado, is now the calming oasis you desire. But…something is missing! That extra oomph to take your home to the next level.

Whether it's a candle, reed diffuser, or room spray…a home fragrance can give any room an instant upgrade. It’s just what you need! A simple addition that not only smells good but will make you feel good too! It doesn't matter if it’s florals, woods, or sweet-smelling scents; this small change makes a big difference.

Sadly, finding the best home fragrance can be a tricky task. There are thousands of options available, and new scent selections coming out every other week (or so it feels). We know it can be a little overwhelming, and that's where we come in. Keep reading for our recommendations of home fragrances that are guaranteed to last.

Diptyque Candle

So our first pick is a cult favorite. We’re pretty sure you’ve heard of them… the infamous Diptyque candles! If you’re ever traveling and come across a Diptyque boutique make an effort to drop in. The stores are amazing and, needless to say, smell divine.

The brand was founded in 1961 has developed into a frontrunner in the luxury home scent market. Granted, they’ll set you back, but scents rarely reach such luxurious heights. We recommend trying the brand’s Baies candle. It’s the perfect slow-burner for a relaxing evening, indoors and out.

Caldrea Room Spray

Looking for a luxurious and versatile room spray? Consider trying Caldrea room sprays. They’re perfect for adding a rich, inviting fragrance to your home or linens. Caldrea is known for its creative mix of unique essential oils that produce fragrances with depth and pampering qualities. They have truly mastered the art of a light scent that’s refreshing but not overpowering.

Nest Diffuser

If scented candles or room sprays aren't your thing, you can also spritz up your home with diffusers, such as the NEST Moroccan Amber diffuser. The fragrance blend stars the warm and sensual scent along with notes of sweet patchouli, heliotrope, bergamot, and a hint of eucalyptus. Perfect for setting a sultry mood!


The diffuser arrives housed in a glass vessel etched with frosted stripes; utilizing eight all-natural rattan reed sticks. It's expertly crafted with the highest quality fragrance oils. ….and the product is vegan and cruelty-free, just to top it off! This reed diffuser releases an exquisite fragrance slowly and evenly for approximately 90 days, uninterrupted. 

Bodha Smokeless Incense

Create a warm, cozy, and woodsy atmosphere with Bodha Smokeless Organic Incense. Intermingled with gentle notes of hinoki, cedarwood, and frankincense, these incense sticks emit a mellow, earthy scent that delightfully lingers in the room without overwhelming the space.

Crafted in Japan, Bodha uses organic, high-quality woods and essential oils to produce its incense sticks which results in a smokeless burn. A great option for folks who are sensitive to both scent and smoke.

Andaluca Potpourri

Okay…this one is an oldie but a goodie! Believe it or not potpourri is still a great way to fragrance your home. We recommend investing in Secrets of Spring Potpourri from Andaluca. Featuring a spectacular blend of citron, jasmine, lily of the valley, rose, and softwoods, the scent of this potpourri instantly turns your room into a garden of blooming flowers.

Following the tropical flowery theme, the potpourri contains attractive botanical ornaments, including flowers, leaves, shrubs, artificial stones, and more. Andaluca also provides a fragrance vial, so you can revive the scent by spraying the fragrance over the ornaments to make it last longer.
