Which scent for which room? A guide to air freshener at home

· 2 min read

Air freshener isn't just “a nice smell”. The scent that feels uplifting in the living room in the morning can feel heavy in a closed bedroom at night. And the bathroom needs something different from both. Every space has its role, and the right scent completes it.

Rule one: air before scent

Air freshener complements a clean home; it doesn't cover up a smell that has a cause. Open the window for fifteen minutes every day, remove the source of the smell (rubbish, a damp towel, a sink full of dishes), and then spray.

Living room: a warm, welcoming scent

The living room is the first thing guests smell, and where you sit at the end of the day. Here, warm scents give that feeling of “home”.

Our suggestion: Soft Amber & Wood from RAWAQ. Warm, calm and never overpowering. Spray a little while before guests arrive, not as they walk in.

Bedroom: calm and light

The bedroom needs a scent that doesn't demand attention. Too much here is uncomfortable, especially with the door closed.

Our suggestion: Soft Lavender from RAWAQ. A calm, herbal-floral scent that many people love in the bedroom. Spray early with the window open, not right before bed.

Bathroom and kitchen: fresh

These spaces call for a feeling of “clean” more than “warm”.

Our suggestion: Clean Breeze from RAWAQ. An airy, fresh scent. And if there's a heavy cooking smell, turn on the extractor and open the window first; the air freshener comes last.

When is it too much?

  • If you notice it strongly as soon as you walk in, one spray is enough next time.
  • If someone at home is sensitive to scents, use less and ventilate.
  • Don't spray near faces or onto food.
  • Don't spray onto fabrics or wood unless the bottle says it's suitable.
  • Don't mix lots of scents in the same space at the same time.
