Discover Signature Scents With Drift's Best Home Fragrances

The familiarity of home extends to all five senses, but none more instinctively so than our sense of smell. Our olfactory senses may not be the most advanced or evolved in the animal kingdom, but they’re hardwired to the brain’s fight-or-flight center. Scent memories let us know we’re in a safe and familiar location — or that our lives are in danger. 

These thoughts probably aren’t going through your head every time you turn the key and enter your humble abode. After all, finding the best home fragrance isn’t a life-or-death situation, but it’s important nonetheless. Explore our list of the best home fragrances below to discover how you can create your own personal scentscape with Drift’s premium scents. 

What are the Qualities of the Best Home Fragrances? 

The best home fragrances mean nothing if they don’t align with your personal scent preferences. For example, some homeowners may prefer a stronger scent that’s consistent throughout the entire house. Others layer the scents in their home, potentially saving their favorite for the bedroom and bathroom. 

Preferred home fragrances often take cues from the decor, whether you decorate your home with furniture reminiscent of a beachside cabana or a sumptuous study setting perfect for snuggling up with a good mystery. Modern and sleek interior designs often favor bold home fragrances, whereas rustic homes tend to resonate with down-to-earth scents. Vibrant color schemes gain new dimension with the tang of citrus and spice. 

What’s the one thing the best home fragrances have in common? They don’t have to break the bank or cost more than you’d spend on your own personal fragrance. With Drift, you can achieve the home fragrance that suits your personality without having to sacrifice quality — or your life savings. 

6 of the Best Home Fragrances From Drift 

The following list of half a dozen best home fragrances can help give you a head start on finding the perfect scents for your home. Which will you use to create a welcoming ambiance or express your personality? 

Amber

Decadent and warm, Amber infuses any home with the comforting scents of French lavender, golden amber, vanilla, and eucalyptus. If you’re looking to achieve a peaceful setting that’s as cozy as it is inviting, the amber scent is your go-to home fragrance. 

Grove

Imagine peeling an orange to sample the juicy, tangy fruit amidst a sea of mountain greens as far as the eye can see. Grove adds elements of vanilla sugar and blond wood to the mix, effortlessly blending these scents into a heady cocktail of summery vibes that only a sun-filled drive down the Pacific Coast Highway can match. 

Open Air

If you could dry your laundry in the fresh mountain air as you rejuvenate your body in a morning sauna session, Open Air would be the only way to describe your experience. Tinted with hints of morning dew and white wood, this crisp linen scent will have you rethinking your next laundry day. 

Teak 

Bold and enticing, Teak translates to power moves in scent form. Amber, oakmoss, cedar atlas, and teakwood fuse into a scent that defies description, regardless of how often you fill your nostrils with its aroma. 

Vanilla Woods

The sweetness of Vanilla Woods — achieved by the praline and premium Madagascar vanilla notes — is only slightly grounded by the woody cedar that rounds out this signature scent. If you’re someone who likes the smell of vanilla but you’ve tried nearly every vanilla-scented home fragrance without finding one that you want, let Vanilla Woods change your mind. 

Wild Lavender

A relaxing blend of sage, lavender, and white cedar makes Wild Lavender the perfect scent for homes where peace and tranquility are treasured. Lavender is often associated with a calming and soothing atmosphere, and Drift’s wild lavender scent is no exception. 

How to Achieve the Best Home Fragrance 

You can choose from several methods to disperse the best home fragrances throughout your living spaces. A home scent diffuser is often the most common application, and Drift’s Grove, Open Air, Wild Lavender, and Teak scents are available for this home product. Our home scent diffuser plugs into an outlet and rotates to ensure it stays upright, regardless of where you place it. 

The Drift room spray and reed diffuser share four luxurious scents: amber, teak, vanilla woods, and wild lavender. If you prefer to diffuse your new home fragrance slowly, you can also purchase our scented candle in these high-quality scents. Additional candle scents include frosted spruce and white pumpkin. 

Tips on Maximizing the Best Home Fragrances 

Once you’ve decided on the best home fragrances for your home, it’s time to remove the existing scent and replace it with something fresh and new. Start by cleaning your home, moving from room to room as you wash linens, vacuum up dust, and remove any trace of the previous scent. Open several windows throughout your home to increase ventilation and begin the renewal process. 

Before you introduce new scents into your home, ensure that they align with your personal preferences regarding harsh chemicals. Drift home scents are made from essential and fragrance oil blends that never contain petrochemicals, phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, or other harsh chemicals found in some home fragrances. In addition to being pet- and kid-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free, Drift premium home scents are long-lasting. 

Develop a strategy for placing the best home fragrances throughout your home based on where they’ll be most effective in dispersing scent. For example, placing them in the entryway can help establish the ambiance as guests arrive. While you can certainly place home fragrances in every room in your house, it’s not necessarily the most effective option, especially if you’re going for subtlety. 

As you contemplate where to place the best home fragrances, consider layering scents for a full-bodied effect. Complementary scents deepen the scentful experience you build as you infuse your home with luxurious fragrances. If you want to experiment with personalization, consider signing up for the home Scent of the Month Club to receive a new scent every 30 days.
