Kitchen/Dining Area
The kitchen and dining areas are undoubtedly one of the trickiest places to perfume as it is where food is cooked and prepared. Instead of using strong, overpowering fragrances that will likely interfere with the aroma of cooked food, opt for citrus-based notes such as lemon and orange that are light and refreshing. It helps to cut through the savoury smells and ensure the smell of food does not linger post-meal.
