A guest room does not need a signature scent to feel considered. If you do want fragrance, decide first how much control you want over it. A quick room spray, a diffuser that sits out, and a candle you light while you are present each ask for a different kind of attention. The easiest choice is the one that suits both the room and the people using it.
Start with the guest, not the bottle
Scent preferences are personal. Before adding fragrance to a shared room, consider whether your guest enjoys it at all. A fragrance-free room is a thoughtful default when you do not know. Keep any scented product away from bedding and follow its label directions; do not assume that a pleasant note list will suit everyone.
For a brief refresh: room spray
WonderWall's APOTHEKE Charcoal Room Spray is a 3.4 fl oz spray. Its product directions say to spray lightly into the air three to five times for a scent boost. Charcoal's listed notes include cedarwood, sandalwood, smoky embers, burnt maple, and raspberry. It is a woody direction, so it may be a better fit for someone who already likes warm, smoky fragrance than for a guest whose tastes are unknown. Read the full product directions before using it around furnishings.
For a scent that stays in the room: reed diffuser
The APOTHEKE Fig and Olive Leaf Reed Diffuser comes with ten rattan reeds and is listed to last approximately three to four months, depending on use. Its scent profile pairs fig and olive leaf with white jasmine and cedarwood. Because a diffuser remains in the room, it is less easily tailored to a particular guest than a spray you use only when wanted. Check the product's placement and handling directions before setting one out.
For a moment you are there to enjoy: petite candle
The APOTHEKE Fig and Olive Leaf Petite Candle shares the diffuser's fig, olive leaf, jasmine, and cedarwood direction. Its 5 oz vessel measures 2.5 inches across and 3.25 inches high, with an approximate listed burn time of 25–35 hours. A candle is a choice for an attended moment, not a background scent to leave burning for an arriving guest. Follow the candle's safety label, and never leave it lit unattended.
