7 unexpected uses for your favourite perfumes

Whilst we’re in lockdown 3.0, we’re all having to get creative. From homemade treats replacing our restaurant favourites to refreshing our home’s interiors, we’re all finding a little joy in the unexpected as we use our favourite products and keepsakes in surprising new ways; this includes our favourite perfumes!

Without being able to glam-up for an evening with friends, a romantic dinner or a meeting we want to feel super confident in, lots of us are considering how else we can use our favourite perfumes whilst we’re at home. Fortunately, there are lots! After all, who said our favourite perfumes only had one use?

Scentsational love to connect their customers with a wide range of luxury perfumes and they’re always fascinated to hear how else they can be used. Throughout lockdown, this list has certainly become more creative… if you’re wondering what unexpected uses your beloved fragrances have around your home, look no further!

Spritz your stationary with your favourite perfumes.

If you’re not used to working from home, it can feel like a drag; you’re likely to find yourself missing relaxing lunchtime walks filled with the smells of fresh flowers (in the summer months!) and the hustle and bustle of an office environment.

By comparison, a home office can feel restrictive and a little dull. However, by simply spritzing your stationary with a little perfume, you’ll fill your home office with your favourite scent; a familiar, reassuring, refreshing smell which will leave you feeling more motivated and inspired.

Enhance the smells of your fabrics with your favourite perfumes.

As lockdown continues you probably find you’re spending your days in different parts of your home. From home-schooling in the dining room to home offices and relaxing in the lounge, you’re seeing more of your home than ever! That means one thing, attention to detail really will make a difference. Spray your perfume on your curtains, bedding and simply in the air around your home; it’ll undoubtedly freshen up your space.

Leave your family feeling happier without them even realising!

There are lots of proposed benefits which accompany perfumes with specific scents. For example, floral and citrus perfumes are thought to help people relax, leaving you feeling calmer and more at ease. During a global pandemic, that’s something we all need a little help with.

To ensure these benefits reach far and wide, boosting the mood of every family member, don’t be afraid to use your perfume in creative ways throughout the home. You don’t need much; a couple of sprays in the morning to give everyone a little pick me up will make a tremendous difference.

Give it away.

If the Coronavirus pandemic has taught the world anything, it’s the importance of loving and supporting one another. If you have some perfume which you feel is going to waste, you no longer want it, or if you simply want to show someone some kindness, consider giving your perfume away; from friends to family, women’s charities, care homes, there’s always someone who’ll appreciate a kind gesture.

Keep your clothes smelling fresher for longer.

If there’s one handy hack for perfumes, it’s lightly spraying your clothes drawers; with your outfits carefully tucked away, you can rest assured they’ll smell lovely when it’s time for your next Zoom call!

Create your own aromatherapy room with your favourite perfumes.

If you feel like treating yourself to a hot bath and want to enhance the experience, creating your own at-home aromatherapy room, look no further than your favourite perfume. Whilst you’re running the hot bath, spray your chosen perfume into the steam leaving the tap. Soon, your bathroom will be filled with comforting scents of citrus, flowers, lavender… whatever leaves you feeling most content.

Use your empty perfume bottles as beautiful vases.

Once you’ve finished your favourite perfume, you needn’t feel it’s gone forever! If you like the bottle, use it as a decorative piece in your home; if it’s the right size, use it as a flower vase for either one beautiful, delicate flower or a few. Alternatively, fill it with fairy lights or a tea light to make a beautiful, home made candle. There’s always a wonderful use for your sentimental belongings.
