The Secret to Creating a Home Full of Fragrance

The Grace Girls are women with big hearts and generous spirits, and we want to share some of our homemaking secrets with you. It’s woman’s month, after all – what better time to share a little with our fellow fragrance lovers about how we make a home and space the fragrant sanctuary you dream of!

Connect with the power of fragrance and let your senses transport you to a magical garden. Do this by lighting a sensuous Dahlia & White Musk Signature Candle – place one in your entrance hall and another in your sitting room so that you are greeted every day with beautiful aromas. Your family and guests will be soothed by the velvety floral wafts of fragrance and enchanted by the bright notes of currant, crisp pear, jasmine, rose and mimosa. Exquisitely exotic.

We love the stylish packaging of Dahlia & White Musk – the black and white designer dahlias hint at the drama of how this gorgeous fragrance can permeate your home. Place an elegant Signature Reed Diffuser in your guest bedroom, complemented by a sultry vase of dahlias on the bedside table. The big win is that you will get twice the fragrance of traditional rattan reeds from our fibre reeds, without needing to flip them.  Slide a scented Large Sachet into a vanity drawer or dressing table in your bathroom for an all-day aroma. You will make a bold and beautiful statement without any effort.

Choose a flameless fragrance option in your home office with our beautiful Cashmere Kiss Flower Diffuser! Place on your bookshelf or desk and watch the flower change colour as the oil diffusers. Another wonderful flameless fragrance option is the Greenleaf Room Spray – perfect for injecting instant fragrance into a room before a gathering of friends and family.

If you are like us, you will have a secret ‘present drawer’ filled with treasures, ready to gift your loved ones on special occasions. We absolutely love the long-lasting Small, Slim and Large Sachets from Greenleaf, and their Home Fragrance Oil, which allows one to determine the fragrance strength by adjusting the number of drops placed in a warmer. Our favourite item to gift, however, is their Petite Candle – it is neat and compact, is long lasting (this dynamite little candle will burn for between 30 and 40 hours!) and because it has a screw-top lid, it can travel in a suitcase on holiday or a business trip – keeping the scent alive, wherever it goes. A mighty gift indeed. Sachets are also a great way to keep drawers and their contents smelling oh so fresh.

Another little secret we have to share is that every time you welcome Greenleaf into your home or gift your friends, you are helping to break the cycle of human trafficking. Greenleaf Cares donates 3% of every purchase to organisations assisting victims of this awful crime. Make a commitment this Woman’s Month and support Greenleaf’s initiative.

Grace Collection’s extensive fragrance collection is available for purchase through interior and décor stores, gifting and clothing boutiques, and homeware stores around South Africa. If you supply corporate gifts or are a retailer from out of town visiting Jozi, you should visit Grace Collection’s studio to identify stunning items to grace your shelves, boost your profits and share the joy of beautiful fragrances with your customers. Contact us at bronwyn@gracecollection.co.za to make your booking.

Blowing in on the August winds are fragrances we love from Fresh Scents. Choose Joy sachets have a happy and bright envelope design and a perfume combination of freesias, white tea, amber and cotton blossom. Perfect for keeping in your dressing table to make getting ready an even more beautiful experience. Another of Fresh Scents’ gentle fragrances we adore is Beleaf in Yourself. Smelling the bright, floral notes of rose, cherry blossom, anise, and patchouli is a fragrant reminder of this positive wording and to always be confident, caring, kind and supportive. Keep in your side table or desk drawer as a wonderful, fragrant motivator.

Happy Woman’s Month to all of you Bold and Beautiful Women! Happy home ‘fragrance-ing’!
