How to Choose the Perfect Signature Home Fragrance – A Guide from Tarvos Boutique

Choosing a home fragrance is more than just picking a scent—it’s about creating a sensory identity for your space. The right fragrance can soothe, energize, or inspire. At Tarvos Boutique, we offer a carefully curated collection of luxury candles, diffusers, and sprays that turn your home into a true reflection of your style and mood.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you discover your signature home fragrance, featuring top picks from our boutique.


🌸 1. Understand Your Scent Personality

Fragrances fall into families, and identifying which ones resonate with you is the first step toward finding the perfect match:

  • Floral – Soft, romantic, elegant
    → Try: LAFCO Fresh Cut Gardenia Candle – A blooming bouquet with creamy white florals and a touch of green.

  • Woody – Warm, grounding, luxurious
    → Try: Baobab Collection Black Pearls Candle – A bold fusion of black rose and spicy ginger in a decorative glass vessel.

  • Citrus – Bright, clean, refreshing
    → Try: Cereria Molla Bergamotto di Calabria Diffuser – A zesty Mediterranean burst perfect for kitchens and entryways.

  • Aromatic/Fresh – Herbal, airy, spa-like
    → Try: Dr. Vranjes Aria Diffuser – White musk and mint for a crisp, invigorating lift.

  • Gourmand – Sweet, cozy, edible
    → Try: Boy Smells Hinoki Fantôme Candle – With hints of resin, smoke, and earthy sweetness—it’s a gourmand with depth.


🕯️ 2. Match the Fragrance to the Room

Each space has its own energy—choosing a scent that enhances its purpose makes the room feel complete.

  • Living Room
    → Choose: Warm, elegant scents that welcome
    → Example: Cereria Molla Amber & Sandalwood Candle – A crowd-pleasing, refined aroma with depth and warmth.

  • Bedroom
    → Choose: Calming, tranquil fragrances
    → Example: Cereria Molla Provence Lavender Diffuser – Soft, relaxing, and perfect for winding down.

  • Bathroom
    → Choose: Fresh, clean, slightly aquatic
    → Example: Cereria Molla Mediterranean Blue Candle – Bright and breezy with a gentle marine-inspired profile.

  • Kitchen
    → Choose: Crisp citrus or herbs to neutralize odors
    → Example: Cereria Molla Verbena di Sicilia Diffuser – A sharp, green citrus scent that refreshes without overwhelming.


🧠 3. Consider the Mood You Want to Set

Scent can shape how a room feels, almost instantly. Think about what mood you want to create:

  • Energized & Refreshed
    → Choose: Bergamotto di Calabria or Verbena di Sicilia

  • Relaxed & Comforted
    → Choose: Provence Lavender or Amber & Sandalwood

  • Lush & Romantic
    → Choose: Tuberose & Jasmine or Bulgarian Rose & Oud


🧴 4. Choose the Right Format

Different formats offer different benefits. Here's how to decide:

  • Candles – Create atmosphere and warmth
    → Best for: Living areas, special occasions, gifting

  • Diffusers – Continuous, low-maintenance scent
    → Best for: Hallways, bedrooms, guest bathrooms

  • Room Sprays – Instant freshness on demand
    → Best for: Kitchens, closets, powder rooms


💡 Pro Tip: Layer with Intention

Get more from your favorite scent by combining formats:

  • Use a diffuser for continuous background fragrance

  • Add a matching candle to amplify during evenings or events

Example combo:
