8 of the most popular home fragrance brands in Singapore
Make your home smell good, always, with these brands known for home fragrances!
The human olfactory system is linked directly to the most primitive parts of our brain. That's one of the reasons why scents are some of the strongest triggers for memory recall and why malls and hotels often diffuse ambient fragrances into the air.
The top-of-mind recall I have of malls with scent is ION Orchard, which customised a blend of 20 individual fragrances from natural herbs, fruit and flowers, some of which include bergamot, white tea, mandarin, ginger, white tea, peony, mimosa and wild lavender to create the signature ION Scent. Or perhaps you might think about Muji, with the welcoming citrusy scent often encountered in their physical stores.
For a while now, I've been searching high and low for the perfect ambient fragrance I want in my home, landing on Aesop Olous Aromatique Room Spray, which I have used for the past five years. Depending on my mood, I will also switch to Muji's 'Homing' and 'Sweet Orange' essential oils used with the signature diffuser.
It might take several trials and errors to decide on the perfect scent and medium of delivery (such as diffusers, candles, home sprays and more) for yourself and your family, as enjoyment is subjective. However, we've shortlisted several brands to help you begin your search!
