Scent and Space: Creating Your Home Sanctuary
There’s something special about walking into a room and feeling instantly calm. Maybe it’s the way the golden light filters through your windows, or your pet greeting you at the door. But sometimes, its something subtle, a gentle fragrance that tells you you’re home.
Did you know smell is our strongest sense? It’s wonderfully connected to the parts of our brain that hold our emotions and memories. It’s why the smell of fresh bread might take you back to holidays at Grandma’s, or why fresh market flowers can lift your spirits on a gloomy day. This beautiful connection is what makes fragrance such a powerful way to transform how we feel within a space.
Our new Home Sanctuary range was created with this special relationship between scent and wellbeing in mind. With three fragrances, each one expertly blended to create its own unique atmosphere. Whether you’re drawn to a warm and cosy feeling, fresh and uplifting or soft and romantic, there’s a scent that speaks to any mood.
Living Room Love with Cherish
Our living room is where life happens- where we can curl up with a good book, share stories with friends, or unwind and watch a movie together after a busy Saturday. Cherish fits this vibe perfectly. Comforting Amber notes create an inviting warmth, while bright sweet Orange adds a spark of joy to conversations and quiet moments. The grounding notes of sweet and spicy Clove bring that homely touch that feels like a hug, balanced beautifully with soft, creamy Vanilla. It’s the kind of smell when a guest walks into a room they can’t help but comment on how good the room smells.
Bedroom Bliss with Happy
Our bedroom is our ultimate retreat of calm, and Happy helps create that dreamy atmosphere where rest comes naturally. This fresh, delicate scent has been a customer favourite for years, and for good reason, it beautifully encapsulates that feeling of contentment we seek at the end of a long day.
The creamy vanilla base promotes deep relaxation, helping your mind unwind as your prepare for a cosy sleep. Caramelised Pear adds an unexpected touch of sweetness that makes your space feel special, while fragrant Jasmine brings a romantic, ethereal quality. Light the Happy Candle or diffuse the reeds while you journal, meditate or read before bed. (see: Natio staff reads)
Bathroom Beauty with Adore
Adore brings a bouquet into your bathroom, helping turn daily routines into moments of self care, creating your own personal spa experience without leaving your home. The sweetness of Rose blooms blend beautifully with the earlier notes of Patchouli flowers, bringing a perfect balance between fresh and grounding.
Maybe you’re enjoying a long soak in the bath with our rosewater bath salts, or doing your morning skincare routine, this gentle fragrance lingers pleasantly, like having fresh flowers in your bathroom every day.
Thoughtfully created, natural ambience
Each candle is poured right here in Australia, using a clean burning blend of natural coconut and soy wax. Each candle was gently cooled at room temperature, ensuring the perfect finish every time.
With lead free cotton wicks and up to 50 hours of burn time, you can enjoy your chosen scent evening after evening. Our matching reed diffusers offer another beautiful option, gently releasing fragrance for up to six months, ideal for spaces where you want a consistent and subtle scent but without the flame.
The elegant, fluted glass catches the light beautifully when your candle is burning, while the black accent details add a modern touch. Once your candle is finished, the vessel makes a lovely holder for small treasures or dried flowers. To learn more about how to repurpose your Natio products after use visit our recycling page.
Caring for your candles
Because we believe in making your beautiful treasures last, we've introduced something special - our Candle Care Duo. This thoughtful set includes a wick trimmer and candle snuffer, the essential tools for getting the most from your candles.
Trimming your wick to about 5mm before each use ensures an even, clean burn and prevents smoking. The snuffer lets you gently extinguish your candle without blowing, which helps preserve the scent and prevents wax from splattering. It's these little rituals of care that make lighting a candle feel even more special while helping your favourite fragrances last longer too. For instructions on candle care, watch our youtube video.
Your Sanctuary Awaits
The beauty of home fragrance is how personal it can be. Maybe you love lighting Cherish when friends come over, letting its warm notes set the tone for connection. Perhaps Happy becomes part of your evening wind down, signaling to your mind that it's time to rest. Or Adore might be your weekend treat, turning Sunday evening baths into a moment of indulgence.
You might even enjoy experimenting with different scents throughout your home – Adore in shared spaces or Happy in the laundry. There's no right or wrong way to use these fragrances, it's all about what makes your space feel the best.
Creating a home that truly feels like a sanctuary doesn't require a complete renovation. Sometimes, it's the little touches, like the gentle glow of a candle or the subtle fragrance that greets you at the door that make the biggest difference in how we feel in our spaces.
Our Home Sanctuary range is here to help you create those moments of calm, joy and beauty in your everyday life. Because everyone deserves a space that feels uniquely theirs, where they can relax, recharge and simply be themselves.
