1. Scent your surroundings
When we think of summer our mind is filled with memories & sounds, for us there is nothing more relaxing than the sound of waves rolling onto the shore, the warm feeling of the sun on the skin and the smell of salty sea air. Bring the sun-soaked joy of the summer season indoors, look for candles and home sprays with crisp citrus, herbal, floral, and sea salt notes to evoke memories of sandy beach days and time spent surrounded by nature.
