There’s something about summer that makes us want our homes to feel less like four walls and more like an extension of the garden. The light changes, the air changes, and the scents we reach for should change too, especially if we are trying to bring the outdoors in.
This season, we’re all about the outdoors-in approach to home fragrance — and our two essential oil products were made exactly for this moment.
If you haven’t yet discovered May Chang, allow us to introduce you to what aromatherapists sometimes call the ‘Oil of Tranquility.’
Steam-distilled from the tiny pepper-like fruits of the Litsea Cubeba tree, native to Southeast Asia, May Chang has a sharp, complex lemony aroma with fruity, almost floral undertones. Think lemongrass’s fresher, slightly sweeter cousin.
Together, lemongrass and may chang create something really special in candle form.
Lemongrass brings that familiar clean, grassy brightness — the scent of a warm breeze through an open door.
May Chang deepens it, adding a layer of citrus warmth that makes the whole thing feel more refined and less one-dimensional. Light it on a sunny afternoon and your living room genuinely feels like somewhere else entirely.
It’s the kind of scent that makes people ask, “What is that?” — in the best possible way.
Where the candle is your daytime companion, our Citronella & Lime diffuser is built for evenings. Citrus scents are one of the biggest fragrance trends this summer for good reason — they’re energising, mood-lifting, and make any space feel alive. Lime brings exactly that bright, zesty energy, while citronella quietly keeps the bugs at bay.
Living room & kitchen: Lemongrass & May Chang candle — clean, energising, and grounding for your main shared spaces.
Outdoor dining area or near patio doors: Citronella & Lime diffuser — practical and beautiful.
Home office or workspace: Either scent works brilliantly. Citrus and herbal notes are known to support focus and mental clarity on sluggish, sticky days.
Bedroom: Let the candle burn for an hour before bed, then blow it out. The residual warmth of lemongrass and may chang is calm and grounding without being heavy.
Summer is short. Make your home smell like it and bring the outdoors in!
