Scenting your home for summer with Jo Malone London

"My living room is a lot less lived in during the summer months, but when the weather inevitably brings me indoors, I love to bring the garden with me. Snips of sweet peas and my favourite Gertrude Jekyll rose all set against the fragrant flicker of our English Pear & Freesia candles. This scent conjures an olfactive orchard, flooded with golden light and a late season crescendo of fruits and flowers. The mellow magic of ripening pears, a natural extract exclusive to Jo Malone London, feels soft and delicious and removes all remorse for being inside."

"Citrus is the ideal dinner guest; it clears the air and piques the appetite. In the warmer months, Lime Basil & Mandarin candles bring zest to the table with a vibrant medley of mandarins, lemons and limes. Freshly torn basil and white thyme follow, refreshing the senses. If entertaining, I use varying candle heights for a glimmering tabletop and mist the Lime Basil & Mandarin Room Spray or Grapefruit Cologne on the napkins. These scents layer magnificently: the softest sparkle of citrus enveloped in balmy summer night air. And they make a dreamy duo for alfresco dining. Illuminate garden steps and between patio pots with candles for a final flourish of enchantment."

"Orangeries and garden rooms naturally blend indoors with out, so fragrances that are filled with sunshine and summer foliage work best. My personal pick is Fresh Fig & Cassis from the Townhouse Collection, a diffuser and candle in a smart bisque ceramic, that creates a complete canopy of green overhead. Generous leaves scattered with plump velvet figs paints the perfect backdrop for whiling away an afternoon. The best part is that the diffuser is available in a refill so the ceramic vessel can be re-used time and time again."

"Wood Sage & Sea Salt suits all spaces and seasons but with its mineral-aquatic character it sings in a summer bathroom. Newly available in a diffuser, this scent summons the windswept shore for an exhilarating start to the day. I love the crystalline cleanliness of the sea salt accord in this scent and the sage feels purifying for the body and mind. It's so good you want to dive straight in, which, fortunately you can with the Body & Hand Wash."

"Warm summer nights call for crisp, cool bedlinen, a gentle breeze and the sweetest lullaby of lavender and chamomile. Encased in inky, twilight hued glass, The Night Collection, houses some of my favourite products for a restful slumber. Lavender has long been known for its soporific qualities and the Lavender & Moonflower diffuser simply radiates tranquillity. I love spritzing the Moonlit Chamomile pillow mist as a calming night-time ritual, one that carries you along chamomile covered pathways – with hints of hay and honey – safely into the land of nod."
