Home: Year Round

The scents I love for my home, year round

Guests, toddlers, and even my husband all love the way this hand soap feels with a bit of grit without being abrasive and leave your hands lightly scented.
Dean Street OUAI Hand Wash

The name is accurate - these stone candle holders are gorgeous on their own and when the candles are lit in them, they let light through beautifully. 

Personally, I'm all about Oud Bois which smells like soft vanilla at first, then turns rich and warm with oud and leather—it’s deep, masculine, and a little nostalgic.

That said, try out the sampler and find the best fit for your space.
Luxuriate Candles

Beautiful jar with a light and lovely rose scent. This is a go to for any gift basket for a friend, especially someone recovering from an illness, going through a hard time, or with a new baby on the way.
Rose Otto - Large Jar Candle

Beautiful as an elevated gift or in spaces you love in your home.

As a die-hard loyalist to The Laundress, even through their tough times, this fabric spray works hard in our house. From crease release to freshening up furniture and curtains, we love the light but lingering scent.

A beautiful, understated and easy to use diffuser that I love in any room.
Vitruvi Diffuser

This programmable diffuser makes having a regular cadence of scent easy as 1-2-3. I love to have a subscription for my go to scents, usually Laundress scents, and keep ours running during waking hours every day.

I love to gift the votives of the Holiday scent for any hostess gifts during the holiday season, keep a small candle in a bathroom, and the three wick goes all winter long in our living room. It's a winner all around and so joyful!

Perfumes and On Body Scents I'll Love Forever

The perfumes and personal scents I'll love forever

This has been my everyday deodorant for over a decade, through price hikes and all, it's that good. Goes on smoothly, smells beautifully, even when I start to sweat, and it's just plain reliable.
Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant

This works magically with your chemistry, is truly different but amazing on every one I know who's tried it and I get compliments on it every week. 

I keep a roll on in my clutch and one in the diaper bag for those moments when I'm feeling a need for a little warmth and luxurious scent. The sweatier I am, I better it smells, making it an automatic go to for my first year postpartum.
MAYA No.1 10ML

A scent that I'll never tire of. This is fresh, light, with fresh pear and white flowers at the center of the scent. I love my travel size to take with me on the go and always have with me when I travel.

A splurge, but worth every penny. I especially love this floral forward scent in the summer.
BOND NO. 9 ASTOR PLACE
 
Lauren Mettler profile picture
For me, this is the perfect balance of calm and fresh. A favorite in the spring or anytime I want to capture that feeling right after it stops raining and everything smells fresh and the air is calm. 

From Bond No. 9: “A melange of sparkling florals and citruses, balanced by a woody-musky detente. Notes: Grapefruit, Black Currant, Lily of the Valley, Hedione, Cedarwood, and Musk”
BOND NO. 9 THE SCENT OF PEACE
 
Lauren Mettler profile picture
Another great spring/summer scent. A little goes a long way and the quality and elegance are unmatched. 

From Bond No. 9: “Notes: Bergamot, Purple Love Grass, Indian Rhubarb, Red Leaf Rose, Tulips, Grape Hyacinth and Bur Oak”
BOND NO. 9 HIGH LINE

I've loved these every time I've tried them, particularly the Bergamot & Hinoki, but truly, you can't go wrong with Salt + Stone products.
Aluminum Free Deodorant

I used this when I was pregnant and loved the light, elegant rose scent. Glides on and the scent always puts a smile on my face.
DEODORANT STICK: Third Rose

This scrub is everything to me - scalp refresh and body scrub all in one. The scent is amazing, the way the oils and lather of the scrub leave my scalp and skin feeling moisturized but not slick or oily is pure magic.
