Warmer weather encourages us to switch from cosy fragrances to bright scents that bring the feeling of sunshine into our homes. Celebrate the season and lasting warmth of summer with refreshing fragrances to uplift and inspire.

With the summer months bringing longer days and lighter evenings, now is the perfect time to treat yourself to new summer scents to refresh your home. From reed diffusers to subtly scent a room for up to 3 months, through to your favourite scented candle to soothe and relax after a busy day soaking up the summer sunshine.

Fresh, light and floral notes epitomise traditional summer scents and capture the essence of the lighter, longer days we enjoy from May onwards. With so many enticing summer-inspired fragrances to choose from, we’ve rounded up our five favourite summer scents for you to try.

Top Tip: Remember to burn your candle for at least two hours at a time, until the wax has melted in a pool across the surface, with the wick trimmed to 10mm to help it burn down evenly.

Citronella

Capturing the essence of balmy summer evenings spent outdoors, this zesty scent will lift your spirits and create a welcoming social space in your garden. With a fresh lemony scent, it’s perfect for helping keep the pesky bugs at bay too! Great for indoors and outdoors in our rustic Hedgerow pots. Why not repurpose afterwards into a planter for your favourite flower or garden herbs?

Sea Salt

Bringing the crisp, fresh scent of the ocean into your home to instantly transport you to your favourite Cornish beach. Sea Salt perfectly captures the feeling of walking along the Cornish coastline and breathing the fresh, salty sea air with its unique ozonic and citrus scents, reminiscent of the ocean and a fresh Cornish sea breeze. One of our most loved fragrances which evokes happy memories of holidays in Cornwall for many. Discover Sea Salt in our Coastal Collection, displayed in beautiful two-tone grey and blue pots inspired by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

Honeysuckle

One of our newest fragrances, Honeysuckle was inspired by the Cornish countryside in the summer filled with the sweet scent of honeysuckle in bloom. Delicate and floral, this captivating scent will delight your senses. Much like the plant, our Honeysuckle scent weaves romance in your home with its sweet, honeyed notes on a rich, musky base. Try this wonderful summer fragrance in our rustic Hedgerow Collection, or in our classic scented tins and tealights. 

Grapefruit & Lime

Nothing says summer fresh like revitalising citrusy scents. We love this uplifting blend of juicy grapefruit and freshly squeezed zesty lime. Discover this summer favourite in our Secret Garden Collection; these beautiful candles leave behind the perfect pot to repurpose afterwards and look elegant in the home.

Bergamot & Nettle

This uplifting herbal delight will immediately refresh your home with its unique combination of wild nettle and fresh bergamot. Inspired by homegrown herbs found in an English Country Garden, Bergamot & Nettle was created to revitalise and refresh. Elevate your interior with our Earth & Sky Collection, displayed in beautiful two-tone sand textured pots.
