How to scent your home to mark the change of seasons

Switching up our home fragrances can help us take stock as the year goes by

Sweet Basil, Bay & Neroli by Brooke and Shoals has softer florals for post-summer, with autumnal woody notes in the Jasmine, Patchouli & Cashmere Woods.

One of my simple pleasures at home is a scented candle, sometimes for dispelling cooking odours, but more often than not it’s to bring a fresh atmosphere into the house, especially after a marathon cleaning session.

A surprise gift last week of an apple and jasmine candle seemed the perfect combination for the welcome Indian summer days we were blessed with before we start the steady decline into winter.
