IN LOVE WITH THE SCENT OF YOU

20.11.18

There are never enough hours in one day to sit back, relax and enjoy your own home. And with becoming a mom those moments suddenly became a rarity. Our little Christian is far more than the boy of my dreams but from time to time we all have to unplug to clear our heads and recharge to come back ready to tackle another week of fulltime motherhood.

Those last few months I have learned to make the most of those precious little moments. Whether I go for a walk with my dog, take a warm bath, try out a new recipe or watch one of my all time favorite movies, I fully enjoy rewarding myself with some downtime. Nowadays, if I get the chance to escape for an hour I try to suround myself with everything that makes me happy. Also in a superficial way ;-) With winter around the corner quality time at home always comes with lighting some candles. My current favorite in that category is the Alessi Ahhh scented candle from the The Five Seasons collection by Marcel Wanders. There's something about this scent that turns every ordinary evening into ultimate coziness. It is like lighting up a fancy bouquet of cardamom, hyacinth and vetiver.

The Alessi The Five Seasons collection by Marcel Wanders consists of two types of candles, a diffuser and a room spray. All of them are available in five different fragrances. As I cannot get enough of the Ahhh scent I have stocked up on both the diffuser, the room spray and one of the candles. The diffuser is probably the most impressive piece of the collection. Mahogany wood leaves standing in a porcelain base make up for quite a unique way of diffusing fragrance in your room. By pushing the base it slowly begins to spin and that is how the air whispers through the leaves and the room gets filled with your favorite comforting scent. The candles come in an elegant porcelain bowl with a beautifully decorated ash wood lid. The room spray comes in a bottle that looks a lot like a vintage perfume bottle standing on display in the middle of your living room. The atomiser allows you to produce the perfect puff that leaves your room smelling at its best.

If you're convinced your nose derserves some delisciousness to sniff and your home too deserves a signature scent, I'd say the Alessi The Five Seasons collection by Marcel Wanders is more than worth the investment. It entirely both looks good and smells good and elevates your romantic datenights with Mr. Netflix to a whole other level. And if you do not get it for yourself, I'd suggest buying it for one of your loved ones this Christmas.
