Why White Flowers are Perfect for Summer

Your spring cleaning is done and the sun is shining. It’s the perfect time to bring the scent of blooming flowers into your home, brightening up your space for the joyous, sunny months to come. White flowers are some of the most distinctive and popular scents in the fragrance world, a perennial favourite due to their cleanliness, elegance and beauty.

Here are a few reasons white flowers should be at the top of your list when searching for a new home fragrance this summer.

  1. Freshness: If you want to evoke the airy, open scent of cleanliness in your home, white flowers are the perfect choice. The crisp, garden scents of jasmine, lily of the valley, or orange blossom are the perfect finishing touch for a summer clean, bringing the scent of a blossoming garden into your living space.
  2. Elegance: White flowers have an elegant, natural simplicity. Used extensively in perfumes and soaps, jasmine and tuberose are classic fragrances associated not only with summer gardens, but luxury itself. The most lauded fragrances, such as the timeless Chanel No. 5, have white flowers at their heart for this very reason.
  3. Mood Enhancement: The scent of white flowers is uplifting and energetic, enhancing your mood and creating a bright, pleasant atmosphere for your home. If there was ever a scent that evoked the feeling of sunlight and happiness itself, it’s white flowers. Perfect for the home office, a luxury scented candle of white flowers will give you the enthusiasm and energy to enjoy a productive day.
  4. Romance: Many white flowers, such as jasmine and gardenia, are undeniably romantic aromas due to their sensual nature. These are flowers that are perfect for weddings or as a lovely gift for your significant other, evoking both purity and extravagance in equal measure. If you’re having a night in with your loved one, the rich fragrance of white flowers is the perfect way to set the mood.

We have a number of white flower fragrances in our collection for your enjoyment. Available in both signature scented candles and luxury reed diffusers.

  • Sweet Elixir: A floral bouquet with sweet honey, balanced with fruity notes of cherry and citrus. Our Sweet Elixir fragrance contains orange blossom at its heart, a gorgeous white flower with a clean, powdery scent. This is a scent that will brighten your home for months to come.
  • Garden of Eden: Embrace the sweet and succulent, with blossoming garden scents of tuberose and lily of the valley. Blended with fragrant jasmine and ylang ylang, this is a deep luxurious twist on the magical scents of the English cottage garden. Our Garden of Eden fragrance is the most popular in our collection, defined most by the vivid aroma of white flowers mingled with subtle citrus topnotes.
  • Elizabeth: As youthful as it is feminine, Elizabeth frolics in a field of young citrus blossom and green accords, leaving an air of jasmine and fresh mulberries behind it; quintessentially British. One of our personal favourites, Elizabeth is elegance incarnate. This is the perfect fragrance to add a touch of romance.
  • The Orchard: Our newest, limited edition fragrance. Top notes of fresh pear and delicate freesia unfold into a bouquet of jasmine and soft rose petals, balanced with heart notes of sophisticated musk, earthy patchouli, and golden amber.
