Make your home smell wonderful with a candle, reed diffuser, or laundry perfume
A home that smells nice immediately feels cozier. But what do you choose: a scented candle, reed diffusers, or laundry perfume? It depends on your living situation and what you enjoy. Below, we walk through the options so you can choose easily.
Start with the room
First, think about where you want the scent. In a living room, a scent can be a bit more noticeable, while something subtle suits a bedroom. In the hallway or restroom, reed diffusers work well because you wouldn't light a candle there. This way, you don't choose based on the scent alone, but also on where and when you want to enjoy it.
A scented candle for atmosphere in the moment
A candle provides both scent and light at the same time. You light it when you are home and want to relax, for example, in the living room on a rainy evening. A WoodWick scented candle has a wooden wick that crackles softly, a bit like a fireplace. Beautiful examples are Cashmere and Yuzu Vetiver.
- Let a new candle burn until the entire surface is liquid the first time. This ensures it burns evenly afterward.
- Trim the wooden wick short before lighting, to about 3 millimeters.
- Use the lid to extinguish the candle; this keeps the last bit of fragrance inside the candle.
Reed diffusers for a pleasant scent all day long
Reed diffusers don't burn and provide scent all day, even when you aren't home. They are convenient in the foyer, hallway, or restroom, where you wouldn't light a candle. At Millefiori Milano, you can choose from many scents, from fresh to warm. Popular choices are Fresia e Pera and Sandalo Bergamotto.
- Place them in a draft-free area and out of reach of children and pets.
- Flip the reeds occasionally. This helps them release more scent.
- Want more scent? Use more reeds. Want less? Remove a few.

Laundry perfume for fresh clothes and a fresh closet
Laundry perfume gives your laundry a wonderful scent. A few drops in the washing machine are enough. You can also put a little on a cloth and place it in your closet. Handy if you love fresh, clean scents. Check out Millefiori laundry perfume and the Laundry Collection, or try Fiori di Perla or Viola Ametista.
Room spray for a quick refresh
Unexpected visitors arriving? A room spray works instantly. Spray it in the air, not on furniture or fabrics. View our room sprays, for example Rose Espresso or Vanilla & Wood.
Which one suits you?
| I want | Then this fits |
|---|---|
| Cozienss on a quiet evening | A scented candle |

| Fresh clothing and a fresh closet | Laundry perfume |
| A quick refresh | Room spray |
Combine scents carefully
You can use multiple scents in your home, but keep it balanced. A good rule is to stick to one scent family per room, for example, woody and warm in the living room and fresh and clean in the bathroom. This prevents scents from clashing.
