Imagine crushing green leaves in your fingers and inhaling their rejuvenating scent. All of your cares slip away and you feel an instant boost of energy. The purity and freshness of nature-inspired ingredients can be used to their full potential in your fragrances.
Analysing today’s Air Care trends, we notice more and more emphasis on the scents that evoke nature–green fragrances reminiscent of cucumber or crushed leaves, delicate white florals that evoke springtime, or juicy fruit that has a hint of sweetness and lots of sparkle. These ideas can be effective in room sprays, diffusers, and of course candles.
The concept is straightforward–nature-evoking ingredients are used in layered, complex accords that stimulate the senses.
Brand inspirations
- Yankee Candle Homemade Herb Lemonade combines the scents of freshly squeezed lemonade with ginger and herbs.
