With spring finally in full swing, we’ve all felt the itch to give our homes a major refresh. We reorganized our pantry, curated our spring wardrobes, and today we’re focused on incorporating new scents for the season. While it might feel like an afterthought, designing with scent plays such an important role in a home’s sensory experience. Whether it’s lighting a favorite candle or enjoying the aroma of a diffuser, scent works to elevate a space and evoke notes of the current season.
With that notion in mind, we’ve rounded up our favorite candles, diffusers, home fragrances and accessories. Consider this your guide to beautiful scents to enjoy this season and beyond.

SPRING SCENTS: CANDLES
Jenni Kayne (scent: Basil)
If we could only use one scent in our homes, it would be a Jenni Kayne candle. We particularly love their Basil scent for spring, featuring notes of neroli, green herbs, bay leaves, and jasmine. Need more convincing? This candle even made Oprah’s Favorite Things, so you know it’s good.

While Diptyque candles definitely fall into the luxury category, they’re a cult favorite for a reason. The Mimosa scent is a springtime must, and the gorgeous packaging certainly doesn’t hurt.
Brooklyn Candle Studio (scent: Neroli)
If you are a candle connoisseur, add Brooklyn Candle Studio to your list. Their minimalist packaging mixed with light and clean scents is such a good combo.
Byredo (scent: Burning Rose)
Handmade in France, Byredo candles are an investment worth making. Their Burning Rose fragrance takes you on a complex floral adventure with notes of rose petals, leather, rose absolute, and violet.
Tatine (scent: Morning Sun)
If bright, citrus-inspired scents are your go-to, Tatine’s Morning Sun is for you. It’s the perfect complement to a freshly cleaned kitchen.
Freres Branchiaux (scent: Lavender Crush)
You know we love spending our dollars with Black-owned businesses, and this one is a true family affair. Founded by three brothers, Frères Branchiaux Candle Co. produces hand-poured, small-batch candles and their Lavender Crush is the ultimate floral experience.

DIFFUSERS + ROOM SPRAYS
From the standpoint of both form and function, this Jenni Kayne diffuser is a total win-win. Anastasia has one in her bedroom (shown above) and loves how easily it blends with any space or style.

Shoppe Amber Interiors White Tea Incense
If you haven’t used incense in the past, this fresh aroma is a great place to start. Featuring notes of bergamot, lavender, thyme, madarin, ylang-ylang, and jasmine, it’s a beautiful ode to spring.
Think of this fragrance as an all-purpose room spray. We particularly love the Sea Salt Eucalyptus scent for that fresh and clean vibe.
Not just for bathrooms and bedrooms, we love using a home fragrance spray to freshen curtains, rug, and textiles for a spring cleanse.

ACCESSORIES
Both pretty and practical, this maroon marble incense burner layers beautifully on a console table, dresser, or nearly anywhere in your home.
Getting the most out of your candles requires a tad bit of maintenance, and a good wick trimmer is a must-have tool.
Simple, clean and entirely functional, a clear glass cloche can blend seamlessly into any space.
This three-inch match striker is a perfect addition to your home accessories. Style it next to your favorite candle for easy access.
