Revitalising and fresh, citrus scents are an ideal accompaniment for the spring/summer season’s sunny and energised vibe. Refreshing Lime & Basil is launching as a 250ml and 500ml Lamp Fragrance and coming to The Scented Home range as a reed diffuser and diffuser refill. A tantalising burst of freshness, this scent blends invigorating lime with aromatic herbaceous notes of basil and energising rosemary. Continuing the citrusy theme, Ashleigh & Burwood is launching new Bergamot & Oud fragrance. The fragrance uses zesty citrus notes of bergamot, sparkling among spicy hints of clove and cinnamon, deepened by a rich base of oud and fragrant musk. Orange Grove, an uplifting fragrance that captures the citrus scent of orange trees and ripe fruit, also joins The Scented Home’s reed diffuser offering. Despite the commonality of citrus notes, the new fragrances are given an individual twist thanks to some unexpected pairings. Joining them is the popular Lamp Fragrance scent Black Raspberry, sure to become a fruity favourite.
