No matter where you are or who you’re with, you know main character energy when you see it. That self-confidence that belongs only to the protagonist is evident in the way they walk down the street, how they order food, and the type of scents they surround themselves with. It’s the reason you keep staring long after they’ve decided you’re part of their last chapter—and they’re onto the next one. 

If vibes were a scent, then the Drift Home Scent Diffuser would be the main character. This premium home product from the scent experts at Drift confidently enhances any home interior with some of the best house scents you’ve ever come across. Try the Drift Home Scent Diffuser for yourself to experience what it's like to live life as the main character. 

One Diffuser, Endless Vibes: How Drift Transforms Any Room

The Home Scent Diffuser’s white body presents a blank slate upon which each of the best house scents impresses a personality. Like the Goosebumps books of years past, where you could choose your own adventure, this diffuser allows you to switch out scents—personalities—to suit your preferences. As you go about your life, you get to experience the scents and what qualities they bring out in you.

On a less metaphorical level, Drift’s Home Scent Diffuser also incorporates three customizable scent levels and a rotating plug that fits nearly every outlet. The magnetic cover also makes it easy to switch out scents when you’re ready. Simply remove the cover, tug the old scent out from the neck, and replace it with your new scent. 

The Best House Scents That Complement the Main Character

Every main character undergoes multiple story arcs, each revolving around a theme, developing them as a person, or putting their emotions to the test. Below are the best house scents that support the main character’s journey throughout the story. Which scent will you choose to join you on your journey? 

Open Air: Supporting Character

Many protagonists require a steady and consistent supporting character, one they can rely on when times get tough. Open Air—with notes of crisp linen, fresh air, morning dew, and white wood—provides a low-pressure counterpart to the main character involved in the story arc. If your personal fragrance is the scent you want to cast center stage in your home, then Open Air plays a solid backup. 

Grove: Sidekick Vibes

Similar to the supporting character, yet more humorously so, is Grove, the sidekick scent that doesn’t take life too seriously. This character is funny and lovable, complete with scent notes like vanilla sugar, blond wood, juicy citrus, and mountain greens. Grove can be a bit chaotic at times, but only when it injects some adventure into the storyline.

Teak: Narrator

What’s a story without a narrator? Teak assumes this role, delivering a detached, witty, and observant commentary that propels the story. At times reflective and at other times just aware, Teak can become a trusted presence or an inconsistent narrator that makes readers question what’s actually going on. 

Scent of the Month: Villain

Often known as “the bad guys” in a story, the villains of scent are the current Scent of the Month simply for their duplicitous nature. These seasonal fragrances help challenge the main character, causing them to alter or refine themselves to become a better person. You’ll find that many of our Scents of the Month are bold and unapologetic, the ideal approach for a character that must be as strong as the main character. 

Wild Lavender: Love Interest

Not all stories are love stories, but when there is a love interest present, Wild Lavender would be their scent. Desirable, mysterious, and often emotionally resonant, these characters bring out the best in the main character in a way that differs from the villain. Love interests can also be calming and represent a sense of peace and happiness, a part lavender plays elegantly. 

Choose Your Own Main Character—Or Play Them All 

Continuing with the Goosebumps theme, Drift makes it easy to switch out how the main character of your story looks. Instead of the Home Scent Diffuser, you can choose from the oversized Reed Diffuser, the Scented Candle, or the Room Spray. Each has its own set of advantages. 

For example, the Room Spray allows you to deodorize a room, refresh your linens, fabrics, and furniture, or infuse your carpet with luxurious fragrances. The alcohol-free formula is safe for use around pets and children. Available scents include Amber, Wild Lavender, Teak, and Vanilla Woods. 

If you prefer diffusing scent, the Reed Diffuser emits passive scent for up to 60 days. The high absorbency rate of the oversized reed ensures an even dispersion of your selected scent, but you can always flip the reed to renew the fragrance. It’s a low-maintenance way to establish your desired vibe. 

Main characters that require a fire burning within can find the perfect scent vehicle in Drift’s Scented Candle. Made from clean fragrance oils—soy and coconut—and a cotton core wick, these luxurious candles feature a 45-hour burn time and also emit scent passively for up to 60 days. Exclusive scents for this premier candle include Frosted Spruce and White Pumpkin.
