shameless plug but this really is one of the best fragrances i've ever smelled... opens deeply sweet and matures into a smoky incense... scent of the season imo!!
Lighting a really good scented candle can turn a slump into a beautiful day for me. I like having only one fancy one on the go at a time so that it becomes the scent memory of that moment. I’m currently still burning through St Eval’s Inspiritus From Christmas, it’s one of my all time favourites, it smells like churches at Christmas.
Among other things. Smell is such an important part of having a comfortable home to me. You don’t want to overdo it obviously and have your place smelling like a high school kid sprayed an entire can of Axe inside but a little fragrance absolutely makes a difference and improves your mood. Bonus having seasonal scents, now with colder coming on I like earthy, woodsy, smoky, leathery even scents. One of my favorites for the season in the link, Kobo Modena Leather.
Melting wax that smells like burning wood. 🕯️ Really delivers in late August when you’re jonesing for that comfy-cozy winter feeling but do not want melting wax that smells like spices (e.g., cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin).
