Room Sprays
When I started this blog, I created a Home Scents category and wrote a few candle reviews. I’ve babbled about perfume so much since that it got completely neglected. To remedy that, today I want to talk about home scents as in home/room sprays. I’m not a huge room spray user but I do, however, have a few favorites, most recent ones being Bottega Veneta Intreccio No 1 by L’Artisan Parfumeur (which is said to recreate the scent of an old library, with notes of leather, incense, books), and another wonderful L’Artisan room spray - Bois d’Orient that also comes in a candle (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, walnut, pepper). I’ve also used Balsam by Agraria, and, believe it or not, Liquid Karl (cardamom, thyme, pepper, spices, frangipani, cocoa, crusty bread note, cedar, moss). The latter was purchased exactly two years ago in London at an H&M store which had it as an exclusive. I adored it so much back then, and wore it as perfume but it was later placed in my bathroom for lack of staying power. It does work amazingly well as a room spray, though, transforming the room into a bakery. No, that’s not why I put it in the bathroom (that would be utterly gross!) - it was totally unintentional. So, that’s about all I have for room sprays. I do prefer candles but I’ve heard people use room sprays as personal fragrance, so I’m exploring this new category. Do you have any favorite room sprays? Please share.
P.S. I promise I won’t write about those plug-in room fresheners tomorrow.
