Sweet reward
If you want to treat yourself, you can’t beat a Jo Malone candle, £59, jomalone.co.uk. This year’s seasonal scent is Ginger Biscuit, a deliciously-spiced concoction. Afterwards, why not repurpose the lovely jar as a makeup brush holder?
Space saver
Close your eyes, spray Jo Loves Christmas Trees A Lifestyle Fragrance, £40, joloves.com, and you’ll be hit with the childlike excitement of Christmas. Fresh pine notes, a touch of lavender, incense and amber make up the scent that’s designed to be spritzed around the room.
Mist me?
Body mists are making a comeback. They tend to be generous-sized and cheaper than eau de parfum, meaning you can spray all over to your heart’s content. Sol de Janeiro After Hours Perfume Mist, £22 for 90ml, asos.com, has notes of blackcurrant and pear nectar.
In motion
Emitting a warm glow as darkness falls, The White Company Motion Sensor Plug In Electronic Diffuser, £65, thewhitecompany.com, is the chicest plug-in ever. Pair with the new Amber Fragrance Oil, £10, to turn your room into a tranquil space.
Do the double
For those looking forward to spring, Floral Street Sweet Almond Blossom Gift Set, £40, floralstreet.com, will transport you to a fresh, sunny day, with a candle for your home and a handbag-sized perfume to keep you smelling great on the go. The fruity floral fragrance has impressive staying power.
Gingerbread house
Crystallised spicy ginger, treacly maple and warm woods make this Next Gingerbread Reed Diffuser, £16, a mouthwatering treat. Expect the aroma to last up to nine weeks. That’s a scent that makes sense!
What a cracker!
