Celebrity brands are an inescapable modern phenomenon. It’s no longer enough to be a triple-threat entertainer, stars today must also be entrepreneurs, branding wares so their fans can own a piece of their lifestyle. Certain industries are particularly well-suited to these licensing deals and partnerships; for example, you’ve likely noticed that nearly every one of your favorite singers also has a beauty brand or that you could stock an entire bar with celeb-backed alcohol products.

Lately the home space feels like their next frontier, with collaborations and collections popping up left and right. Some stars, like Drew Barrymore, have created full-on furniture collections, while others, like Kim Kardashian, have dipped their toes into the market with a few products. Celebrity-branded candles are especially popular—whether as part of a larger home line or as a stand-alone product—and we suspect there are a few reasons for this.

“Smell is one of the most underinvested senses, it is the last sense that is super mysterious,” says candle expert Kudzi Chikumbu, a.k.a. Sir Candle Man. “That allows for celebrities to tap into their creativity and what makes a true celebrity a celebrity—mystery, desire, the intangible.”

Asia Grant, perfume maven and founder of Redoux, recognizes that there’s more than just a love of scents driving the candle boom. “I think celebrities (just like us) love beautiful things and feel inspired by them. Candles are an accessible yet aspirational everyday object that can have a huge impact on one’s life,” she shares. “Because of that, I think people are drawn to creating them as a way to express themselves. They are also great money makers.”

Our love of candles is well-documented, but the best room sprays are your shortcut to a fresher home, eliminating the song-and-dance of finding a lighter or matches when clearing the air. With sprays, the results are flameless, immediate, and the fragrance bottles can be beautiful additions to your decor scheme. For AD’s first annual Scent Week, I sniff tested my way through top-shelf picks in the category to bring you the best room sprays that evoke the senses and support the vibe you want to emulate. From earthy, fig-forward scents that suit a calm, neutral palette to mysterious rose interpretations for a serious, wood-lined home, our picks will help you cultivate a beautiful space right down to its signature scent. We’ve even provided you with some additional inspiration from our archives to help you map out your scentscape like a professional would—including a look back at some of our favorite celeb spaces and international home tours. Without further ado, here are several scent pairings that feel like a match made in heaven.

Our Top Picks For The Best Room Sprays:

Notes: Ripened fig fruit, fresh leaves, fig tree bark

This fig-forward fragrance from Diptyque is clean and minimal, but definitely not one-note. It encapsulates multiple dimensions of its inspiration—the fig tree—from the leaves, and bark, to the ripened fruit itself. The light and bright aroma would be perfect for a contemporary space—something with a neutral, warm palette that incorporates color in small, but meaningful ways. Think: Athena Calderone’s former Brooklyn townhouse or this Los Angeles home that are both riddled with interesting-looking furniture pieces in neutral upholsteries and wood finishes.

Notes: Galbanum, Grapefruit, Jasmine

Aesop’s Olous room spray smells like you’re brewing a delicious pot of grapefruit jasmine tea at all hours, with the fruit being the star of the show here. Galbanum and jasmine play important supporting roles, too, that put an interesting twist on a fragrance that could easily feel old-fashioned but doesn’t. For that reason, this spray and the “grape Kool-Aid”-colored mohair Eames chair we spotted in this Midcentury Minneapolis living room feel like kindred spirits to us—both updated classics.

Homecourt CeCe Room Deodorant $45 Homecourt

Notes: Guatemalan cardamom, dried mate absolute leaves, Sri Lankan cinnamon, carrot seeds and leaves, Indonesian patchouli oil, vetiver oil

The Cece Home Deodorant by Courteney Cox’s Homecourt was another room fragrance that surprised and delighted me. I was really impressed by its long-lasting, luxurious scent that comes at a really affordable pricepoint. It feels robust, with an underlying sweetness that leaves you wanting more. Consider using it to highlight charming, print- and color-filled spaces like designer Rebecca de Ravenel’s Los Angeles home or this personality-filled Art Deco home in Melbourne.

Loewe Orange Blossom Home Fragrance $135 Neiman Marcus

Notes: Orange essence

Promising review: “Have had many of these over the years and both my wife and I love the scent, the candle burns evenly and for a long time. We usually will light it during the evenings for several hours a day and it lasts more than a week.” —matthew d. hayward

Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in four sizes and seven container colors).

Perhaps no scent is more closely associated with a sense of calm than the best lavender perfumes. The fresh-floral note is commonly used for beauty and wellness staples like scented candles, body care essentials, and, of course, many of the most popular eau de parfums and toilettes.

“Lavender is a very distinct note and depending on the dosage used and the other notes in the formulation, it can create or evoke a soothing, almost powdery effect to something sharper, more medicinal,” fragrance expert, founder of Kayali fragrances, and lifelong perfume collector Mona Kattan tells Bazaar. “Whenever I think of lavender, it reminds me of bedtime or aromatherapy treatments as it is often used for stress relief and relaxation.”

Looking to take a little calm and relaxation with you throughout the day? There are plenty of noteworthy lavender fragrances worth adding to your fragrance rotation. From luxe picks like and to more on the nose options like , we’ve pulled together a few of the best lavender perfumes to spritz on this season and beyond.

The best candles don’t merely smell delightful, but can also encourage someone to slow down, set an intention, and maybe even relax and refocus—something we could all use a little (or a lot) these days. Aside from the whole aromatherapy factor, they’re also a champion vibe setter, mood-lifter, and the most-well curated among them can also serve as decor. It’s a big reason why they’ve become a safety gift: the one thing you can pick up on the sly when you forgot to buy a potted plant for a housewarming party or a more specific Valentine’s Day present. Sometimes they get a bad rep for being [whispers] sorta lazy, but with the right scent in tow, the right occasion, and the right recipient in mind, we think they can actually be perfectly on the money.

And when it comes to candle scents, there are so many winning fragrance notes to choose from. Whether you pick one cute candle to gift your votive-loving best friend or buy a whole set to infuse your home with fragrance from multiple corners, there are options. Some of our favorite candles even come in their own little gift boxes or glass jars so cute you simply have to repurpose them. Below, a range of the best candles (according to our editors) to win the next holiday on your iCal.

Our Top Picks for the Most Giftworthy Candles:

The Best Candles, Overall

Notes: Plum, Cinnamon, Leather Accord, Violet

Byredo’s most popular scent, Bibliothèque, showcases strong notes of warm vanilla and leather, cut by undertones of peach and plum to give a dynamic scent profile—not too heavy, not too floral. “I keep a miniature version of this candle in my bathroom and have gotten many compliments,” says commerce editor Audrey Lee. “I think it appeals to a lot of different palettes so it’s a really versatile option.”

The vessel is what originally drew Lee to this Loewe candle—who can resist a luxury brand’s reusable candle jar—but the scent is “equally captivating. The bright aroma reminds me of a vacation to the Italian coast—lightly floral but not overly sweet, and perfect for the spring and summer.”

Notes: juicy melon, evergreen

Heady, sensual, floral—Diptyque does its best work with this sexy and subtle candle that finds its fragrant roots in the opulent, white-blooming Mexican flower. Young Victorian women were apparently forbidden from inhaling the scent of tuberose lest they have a spontaneous orgasm (!), so gift this ultra-sultry candle very wisely. Medium to extra large sizes come in a deep burgundy worthy of any end table, and it’s worth mentioning this candle has Carina Chaz’ (founder of DedCool) stamp of approval.
