Top 5 Home Fragrance Trends for 2025
Home fragrance has become more than just a finishing touch – it’s a way of life. The right scent can set the mood, elevate your interiors, and create a signature atmosphere that makes your home truly yours. As we step into 2025, here are the top five fragrance trends we’re seeing in homes across the UK.
1. Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Scents
Sustainability continues to lead the way in 2025. More people are choosing soy-based candles, refillable diffusers, and wax melts made without harmful additives. It’s not just about fragrance anymore – it’s about conscious living.
✨ At The Annex Accessories, we hand-pour our candles with clean-burning soy wax and package them sustainably, so you can enjoy your favourite scents guilt-free.
2. Long-Lasting Soy Candles & Reed Diffusers
Consumers are looking for value and longevity. A beautifully scented candle that burns evenly for hours or a reed diffuser that lasts months is now considered an investment piece. Expect to see more focus on products that deliver long-lasting, room-filling aromas.
3. Layering Scents Around the Home
One of the biggest trends is scent zoning – using different fragrances in different rooms to set the mood.
• Bedrooms: calming lavender or chamomile blends like Patchouli & Mineral Amber
• Living rooms: cosy, fruity fragrances like Black Plum & Rhubarb
• Kitchens: fresh citrus or herbal notes to cut through cooking smells like Mint, Ginger & Lemon
• Bathrooms: clean, spa-like scents such as eucalyptus or sea salt like Rock Salt & Driftwood
Fragrance is becoming part of interior design, just like paint or furniture.
4. Seasonal & Limited-Edition Collections
Shoppers love scents that reflect the seasons – think zesty summer citrus, warm winter spices, and cosy autumn fruits. Limited editions are especially popular because they create urgency and exclusivity. People don’t just buy them for themselves, but also as thoughtful seasonal gifts.
5. Personalised Fragrance Gifting
Gifting has shifted from generic candles to carefully chosen, personal scents. In 2025, customers are seeking fragrance gift sets tailored to the person’s personality or mood. Handcrafted packaging, curated bundles, and custom notes make home fragrance the ultimate personal gift.
Final Thoughts
Home fragrance in 2025 is all about sustainability, longevity, and personal expression. Whether you’re layering scents throughout your home or choosing a thoughtful gift, fragrance continues to play a huge role in how we live and connect with our spaces.
