Scents to Impress Buyers at Open Houses

Can Scents Have an Impact on Your Open House?

When it comes to creating a memorable open house, we often think about staging, lighting, and perhaps even soft music in the background. But have you ever considered the power of scent? Can the right fragrance truly influence a buyer’s perception of a home? At Bougie Hermit, we believe that a signature scent can elevate any space, making it feel inviting, luxurious, and unforgettable. Let’s explore whether scents can make a real difference in your open house experience.

Do Scents Matter in Open Houses?

Scent is a powerful tool that engages the senses and creates lasting memories. According to studies, our sense of smell is directly linked to emotions and memory, meaning the right scent can leave a lasting impression on potential buyers. But do certain fragrances evoke specific reactions? A well-chosen scent may evoke feelings of comfort, elegance, and warmth, all of which help buyers imagine themselves living in the space.

Introducing Bougie Hermit’s Signature Scents

At Bougie Hermit, we specialize in artisanal candles and diffusers crafted with natural ingredients and sophisticated blends. Our signature scents are designed to evoke specific moods, making them perfect for setting the tone in any home. From clean and fresh to warm and inviting, our collection has something for every type of property.

Top Scents for Open Houses:

1. Mandarin & Sandalwood – A cozy, grounding scent with notes of sandalwood, amber, and a whisper of vanilla. Ideal for larger homes or spaces with earthy tones.
2.  Sweet Chilli Pepper Orange– Vibrant and uplifting, this blend of orange, Tangerine, and a hint of Neroli is perfect for kitchens and dining areas.
3. Aurora – Calming and serene, Ylang Ylang is ideal for bedrooms or spaces where you want to promote relaxation.

How to Use Scents Strategically

To maximize the impact of your signature scent, consider the following tips:

1. Choose a Unified Theme: Avoid mixing too many fragrances throughout the home. Instead, opt for a single scent or complementary scents that flow naturally from room to room.
2. Subtle Application: Less is more when it comes to scent. Use candles, diffusers, or wax melts strategically to avoid overwhelming visitors.
3. Focus on Key Areas: Highlight spaces like the entryway, living room, and kitchen with subtle fragrance to create an immediate sense of warmth and cleanliness.
4. Set the Mood Beforehand: Light your candles or activate your diffusers at least 30 minutes before the open house begins, allowing the scent to evenly distribute throughout the home.

Different scents create different emotions, and using them strategically can help you craft the perfect ambiance. Bougie Hermit offers a range of fragrances to help you set the right mood:
