Natural fragrances
After weeks spent indoors with the husband, kids, dogs and central heating on full blast we’re all in desperate need of a good old blast of spring air. And with Valentines Day around the corner, wouldn’t it be nice to have our homes coming up smelling of roses? The trouble with most room sprays until now, is that they have tended to conjure up images of your mother-in-law in a pair of marigolds. But not any more, MumsRock has scoured the web to bring you three of the best natural fragrances for you and your home, guaranteed to lighten, enhance and enrich your life with a mere spritz of their absolute pure magic.
If roses and blooms just aren’t your thing then sample the rustic purity of nothing nasty’s sensual room spray. Conjuring up log cabins, giant sofas piled up with cushions and soft blankets and the roar of a crackling real fire, this spray will transform your home into that luxury boutique ski chalet you’ve always lusted after. Created by hand in the Welsh Monmouth hills by Norwegian mumpreneur Elin Ross Pedersen, if you’re hankering after the earthy scent of the great outdoors to waft around your modestly urban home, then these notes of sensual Jasmine and Sandalwood will fit the bill perfectly.

In these hard times one of the first treats to get binned are freshly cut flowers. But instead of encouraging your other half to fork out on a dozen long-stemmed roses for that big romantic gesture, point them in the direction of Neom (formerly Natural magic) whose Complete Bliss mist: Happiness is an instant and happily romantic treasure. Spraying it in your boudoir will recreate a room full of blushing Moroccan rose petals, you can also spritz this on your bed linen for an exquisitely sensual deep sleep. Our tester reported that this one brought back some very treasured memories of the luxury boutique hotel she and her husband had spent their honeymoon at (in the days before the kids and the huge mortgage came along). Definately to be sniffed at.
