Organic Skincare scents: your home and you

The HOME line is simple by design: a 500 ml home fragrance, a beautiful glass bottle with reeds and a choice of five different notes. The fragrance set comes with both; when the bottle is empty you only need the refill, the glass lasts. And a little secret: the home fragrance is actually an eau de toilette, which means it can also be worn directly on the skin. The art is choosing the right scent for the right room.

A light, fresh scent that fills the room with energy and renewal, clean and bright without turning sweet. Lemongrass belongs where the day starts and there is the most movement: the kitchen, the hallway and the bathroom. This is the scent that greets you when you come home and makes the house feel awake.

A deep, earthy scent with a touch of citrus, a natural and calming character that takes you on a journey somewhere southern. Oakmoss is the note for the rooms where the mind needs peace: the office, the reading room and the bedroom. It is understated enough to fade into the background and has enough character that the room never feels neutral.

A warm, cosy scent that blends sweet amber with spicy patchouli. This is the most sociable note in the line, the scent people ask about when they visit. It belongs in the living room and dining room, anywhere people gather and linger.

Leather Oak is the most powerful note: leather and oak wrapped in warm woody notes, like an old library in a new house. It shines where the furniture gets to speak. Winter is the seasonal note: spruce, pine cones and mandarins, December without lighting a single candle. It takes over the hallway through the holidays and gives way to fresher notes as the days grow longer.

The same notes that fill the home can be worn on the skin. It is a more refined idea than it sounds: one scent trail that follows you from the shower, into the living room and out into the day.

The fresh note from the hallway comes in a full line for the body: a shower oil that doesn't dry, a light lotion with lemongrass flakes, a body mist, a salt scrub and a body oil (the scrub and the oil also come in other scents; you choose the note on the product page). Start in the shower and finish with the mist; the result is clean and bright without being overpowering.

The warm living-room note has siblings in the body line: Sweet Amber & Patchouli comes as a shower oil, body mist, salt scrub and body oil, and the softer Vanilla Patchouli as a body fragrance, lotion and oil. A good tip: BODY Oil followed straight away by a mist from the same scent family; the result is seductive without being overpowering.

The top tier of the world of scent is the three unisex perfumes: the fresh Kasmír, the spicy Royal and the enigmatic Floni. Each is a character of its own, and the perfume guide goes deeper into the notes and how to choose.

And since the world of scent starts in the shower, the body ritual is the right place to step into it.
