Enjoy These 5 Spring Fragrances from LAFCO
There’s no better way to brighten up your home for spring than with an infusion of LAFCO fragrance. LAFCO founder Jon Bresler favors light florals, delicate citrus, and marine fragrances as “a delightful way to enjoy indoors the signs of spring approaching.” Bring the fresh scent of spring into your home with these light, floral fragrances and airy scents that capture the essence of the season.
Here are the best ways to enjoy LAFCO’s spring fragrances for 2021:
Spike Lavender Candle
Experience the soothing scent of spike lavender combined with cool catmint and white woods in this 15.5-ounce Signature fragranced candle. Top notes of clove, eucalyptus, and bergamot fade into a heart of geranium, rose, and Tuscan lavender before setting into a lasting impression of white woods, patchouli, and vanilla.
“This fragrance is often overlooked I think because people don’t know the smell. It is lavender but it’s a different species – it’s refreshing and energizing and very herbaceous. It’s clarifying with a spicy, floral, camphoraceous fresh smell that is associated with purification and cleanliness. It’s the smell of the end of winter and the time for spring cleaning.” — Jon Bresler
Sea & Dune Reed Diffuser
Presented in a blue/gray art glass vessel, this reed diffuser features hand-cut reeds and premium quality fragrance. Bask in the subtle scent of coastal lily and lemon as it fades into a fragrant heart of beach grass and blue lotus.
“I like to set up the sea & dune diffuser in early spring and let it scent the house until the end of summer. It is the perfect ambient fragrance on its own and it blends perfectly as a backdrop with almost any candle fragrance that I burn. The top notes of Lemon and Coastal Lily evolve into a translucent heart of watery Blue Lotus and sweet green Beach Grass.” — Jon Bresler
Marine Bar Soap
Perfect for the guest bath, this gentle marine essence brings to mind days spent by the beach, inhaling the crisp sea air. Crafted from premium ingredients and luxuriously fragranced, this bar soap is hypoallergenic and free from synthetic ingredients.
“There is nothing better for your body than LAFCO’s bar soap because of our natural raw materials — loads of argan and olive oil. Super rich and super moisturizing. In Spring I like to change my scent to Marine (from Chamomile lavender in Winter). The scent feels like fresh sea air and salty breezes. It signals to me that summer is coming.” — Jon Bresler
White Grapefruit Candle
Brighten up your home with the fresh fragrance of grapefruit, presented in a brilliant yellow art glass vessel. This 6.5-ounce Classic candle features notes of grapefruit, orange, and pineapple over a heart of orange blossom, mandarin leaves, and white gardenia but fades into an undertone of applewood, vetiver, and musk.
“This is one of my all-time favorites to usher in spring. The yellow color of the cup is reminiscent of the early daffodils that show that spring is here. The citrus of the grapefruit is offset by pale green fern notes, giving a spring grass tone. The hints of orange blossom tell me that spring flowers are about to arrive.” — Jon Bresler
Sea & Dune Bar Soap
Breathe deep the fragrance of a windswept coast with this luxurious bar soap. The fragrance of lemon oil and coastal lily shimmers over a heart of blue lotus and beach grass before fading to a lasting impression of ginger, amber, vetiver, and warm sand.
“I like to set up the sea & dune diffuser in early spring and let it scent the house until the end of summer. It is the perfect ambient fragrance on its own and it blends perfectly as a backdrop with almost any candle fragrance that I burn. The top notes of Lemon and Coastal Lily evolve into a translucent heart of watery Blue Lotus and sweet green Beach Grass.” — Jon Bresler
