At Côté Bougie, we believe in the power of fragrance to transform an interior into a warm and personal place to live. A well-chosen fragrance doesn’t just scent a room: it dresses it, soothes it or energizes it. But between stick diffusers, room sprays and burning oils, it’s not always easy to know which format is best for each room.
Here’s a complete guide to help you make the right choice… room by room, moment by moment.
Room spray: controlled immediacy
Ideal for: entrance hall, bathroom, kitchen
Spray is the easiest format for everyday use. It lets you perfume a room in a single gesture and modulate the intensity to suit your mood.
Advantages :
- Immediate action
- Dosage à la carte
- Perfect for neutralizing an odor or refreshing a room between fragrances
Our recommendations for use:
- Spray 2 to 3 times into the air, never directly onto textiles.
- Avoid doing so near animals or babies.
Our Côté Bougie suggestions:
- In the entrance hall, opt for a warm, enveloping Place des Épices spray to welcome your guests with an oriental signature.
- In the bathroom, a fragrance like Mint & Tea brings freshness and cleanliness, ideal after a shower.
- In the kitchen, Oasis de Coriandre or Mandarine Majorelle neutralize odors while leaving an invigorating note.
The stick diffuser: continuous elegance
Ideal for: living room, bedroom, office
The diffuser is both a decorative object and an olfactory solution. It slowly releases its fragrance by capillary action, through rattan or fiber sticks. It offers constant, discreet diffusion.
Advantages :
- Gentle, continuous diffusion, without intervention
- Zero flame, so safe
- Long life (up to several weeks, depending on size)
Our recommendations for use:
- Turn the sticks once a week to revive the intensity.
- Adapt the number of sticks to the size of the room.
Our Côté Bougie suggestions:
- In the living room, a Narguilé diffuser creates a hushed, warm atmosphere, perfect for the end of the day.
- In the bedroom, opt for softness with Musc Charmeur or Dattes, to create an intimate, comforting cocoon.
- For an office or workspace, Mint & Tea or Oasis de Coriandre promote concentration with their fresh, herbaceous notes.
Burning oil: the art of scented cocooning
Ideal for: relaxing moments, evenings, living spaces
Burning oil is the most sensorial format. Used with a perfume burner and a tea light, it releases its aromas under the effect of heat.
Advantages :
- Intense, immediate fragrance
- Perfect for creating a warm ambience
- Very attractive with a nice burner
Our recommendations for use:
- Mix 2/3 water with 1/3 fragrance oil in the burner.
- Never burn unattended, or for too long to avoid total evaporation.
- Perfect for evenings and winters, to accentuate the feeling of comfort.
Our Côté Bougie suggestions:
- For a cocooning evening in the living room, Amber oil is a must, with its woody, oriental notes.
- For a spicier, more enveloping ambience, try Kamoun or Rose Oud, perfect for winter or a dinner party with friends.
- In summer, prefer lighter notes such as Mon Bel Oranger or Figuier, for fragrance without weighing down the air.
