It’s a little-known life hack that the most inviting home scents often make for the best apartment accessories. These fragrances carry elements of your life story, but they also go far beyond surface impressions. Keep reading to find out how the best apartment accessories and home scents from Drift can help you better express your personality.
The 8 Best Home Scents That Correspond to Personality Types
Whether you’re an adventure seeker or a cozy homebody, the best home scents from Drift can help you claim your space, no matter how large or small your apartment measures. The eight best home scents, which correspond to common personality types, are a great place to start for inspiration. However, there’s nothing saying you can’t mix and match scents to create your own fragranced atmosphere.
1. Amber: Nostalgic Vintage
If the mention of orange shag carpet, vinyl records, retro fashion, and velvet gets you excited, Amber could be the perfect home scent for your personality. Rich and nostalgic, Amber mirrors a timeless style that incorporates a hint of mystery. It’s the same kind of impression you get when you meet someone you’re sure was born in the wrong era.
As a style, Amber features elements like old leather and corduroy. It’s the vibe you get from soulful movies, rotary phones, and classic silhouettes. If any of these descriptions resonated with you, check out the Amber scent in any of Drift’s premium scented home products.
2. Frosted Spruce: Holiday Enthusiast
It’s not just Christmas in July for the holiday enthusiast—there’s something to celebrate every day or month, regardless of the time of year. The phrase “a season for everything and everything for a season” applies to their entire life approach, which means they’re typically always cheerful. Their scent—Frosted Spruce—smells of festive parties, cool beverages, and a crisp hint of promise in the air.
3. Grove: Eco Warrior
A zero-waste lifestyle exudes the aroma of Grove, a scent infused with earthy and green notes, reminiscent of mountain greens and blond wood. Do you like forest walks, sustainability, plant-based meals, thrifted finds, or fighting for the planet? If you answered yes to any of those, Grove is the perfect scent for you.
4. Open Air: Adventure Seeker
Do you enjoy chasing the next sunset or planning your next mountain climb? Portray your wild and free energy with Open Air, a fresh, breezy, and unfiltered scene that shows your passion for the outdoors. It’s a perfect aroma for the travel vlogger or extreme sports enthusiast.
5. Teak: Thoughtful Creator
The thoughtful creator who prefers cozy coffee shops, slow-mo shots, and meaningful conversations about life would thoroughly enjoy Teak. Perfect for the introspective artist or the indie filmmaker, this fragrance is warm and grounded without being too sweet. It also emanates the same vibe as a vintage camera or the handcrafted details of a sculptural carving.
6. Vanilla Woods: Cozy Homebody
Taking it slow and enjoying every moment makes Vanilla Woods a perfect fragrance for the homebody who prefers a cozy, comfy sweater over hiking boots or a parka any day. Sweet yet grounded, Vanilla Woods echoes the vibes of cottagecore and bookstagram. Pair a soft reading nook with sweet homemade baked goods, and you’re ready to enjoy Vanilla Woods.
7. White Pumpkin: Trendsetter
If your style feels more unexpected and even spicier than normal, the White Pumpkin scent can help express your personality. Bold, stylish, and fresh, this scent is ideal for that fashion-forward influencer who sets trends rather than follows them. Some call them ahead of their time, while others—who don’t quite understand—dismiss them as weird or even kooky.
The one thing that sets trendsetters apart is their curated style. It’s the comfort with an edge they’re known for, or the familiar with a twist. If that sounds like you, check out White Pumpkin, available exclusively from Drift.
8. Wild Lavender: Wellness Influencer
Namaste and chakras don’t even begin to describe this wellness influencer, who would likely enjoy the scent of Wild Lavender from Drift. These individuals prefer a balanced and clean lifestyle. You can often find them participating in serene morning routines, practicing meditation, and engaging in numerous acts of mindfulness.
Often a yoga teacher, self-care guru, or mental health advocate, those who enjoy calming, floral, and herbal scents typically gravitate toward Wild Lavender. However, this scent is also perfect for bringing peace to an apartment that’s normally filled with stress. If that sounds like you, give Wild Lavender a spin.
