Fragrancing Your Home Natural Projects and Botanical Scents to Restore, Energise and Uplift

Fragrance is as vital a part of your home as color and texture. It can add depth to an otherwise stark room, warmth to a cold space, create a mood for a particular occasion – it can welcome, comfort and entice as much as any other aspect of interior design. Moving from room to room, Fragrancing Your Home offers a practical look at the various, all-natural ways you can create transformative and evocative scents inspired by nature. Using seasonal combinations of 7 core essential oils, you'll discover how to make your own candles, diffusers, dried herb combinations, incense and florals to restore, energise and uplift.

Lesley Bramwell started out as an Environmental Scientist and after experimenting for many years with botanicals and essential oils for their therapeutic properties, she decided this was her true passion and it was time to launch a new venture. Lesley started creating natural rapeseed wax candles in her kitchen and in 2015 formulated the idea for Essence + Alchemy, bringing together the natural scent and energy of plants (essence) and Lesley's scientific and environmental background (alchemy). Taking a scientific approach that's balanced with nature, Lesley designs, handcrafts and packages each Essence + Alchemy product from a small garden laboratory in Sheffield. Fragrance Your Home is her first book.
