At Genesis Homes, we believe a home should stir the senses from the very first moment you step inside the doors. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Bath House, a renowned local natural skincare and artisan fragrance company, to find a signature home scent that reflects who we are.
This collaboration brings together two Cumbrian brands that share a commitment to quality, sustainability, and conscious living. And now, our new fragrance is ready to welcome you into a space that feels unmistakably Genesis.
A luxury home fragrance that defines us
The heart of our chosen signature home fragrance is patchouli and black pepper scents that are bold, earthy, smoky, and rich.
Patchouli provides a grounding base, full of depth, nostalgia, and warmth. Black pepper brings a sharp, spicy brightness that cuts through the richness of patchouli and adds balance. As the fragrance settles, you’ll notice layers of mandarin, lavender, rosemary, vetiver, amber, and vanilla – a blend that is both modern and timeless.
This soulful home scent is brought to life through a carefully curated range of products, including elegant home diffusers, nourishing hand wash, and rich lotions. Step into any Genesis Homes space or sales suite, and you’ll recognise the atmosphere immediately: calm, considered, and welcoming.
Why have we partnered with the Bath House?
We’ve worked closely with the Bath House not only because of their craftsmanship but also because their values align so closely with ours. At Genesis, we believe that a new build home should offer a sense of comfort, quality, and thoughtful design. The Bath House shares that philosophy in everything they create.
The company’s fragrances are carefully crafted using natural ingredients and vegan formulas, ensuring every scent is as kind to the environment as it is to your senses. From recycled glass packaging to refill pouches that reduce waste, the Bath House makes luxury home scents feel both sustainable and accessible.
Why are home scents important?
The best home scents create atmosphere, set the tone, and influence how a space makes you feel.
Walk into a lavender-scented room, and you’re met with a calm and relaxing feel. But walking into a citrus-infused room? You’re transported to a bright, sun-soaked Mediterranean morning.
Here are some of the other reasons a good home fragrance plays an important role in the feel of your home:
- Creates a consistent feeling the moment you walk in
- Reduces stress and enhance relaxation
- Helps you unwind, switch off, and feel grounded
- Triggers emotional connections and memories
- Makes your space feel intentional, curated, and loved
Scent is a powerful part of storytelling. A well-chosen fragrance doesn’t just smell good, it transforms your environment, making your home feel truly yours.
4 different scents for the home
The best home fragrance for your house depends on what you want to express, your style, and the mood of each room.
Here are a few of the best ways to scent your home:
1. Earthy and grounding
Patchouli, vetiver, and amber bring a warm, cosy vibe to your home. Patchouli has a sweet, musky aroma, vetiver adds a smoky, earthy touch, and amber gives a rich, honeyed warmth.
Perfect for living rooms or lounges, these scents make your space feel welcoming and relaxed.
2. Fresh and uplifting
Citrus scents like mandarin, bergamot, and lemon are bright and lively. Mandarin is zesty and sweet, bergamot adds a light floral crispness, and lemon brings clean freshness.
Great for kitchens, home offices, or anywhere you want to feel awake and energised.
3. Soft and comforting
Vanilla, tonka bean, and warm spices like cinnamon or clove are all about cosy comfort. Vanilla is sweet and creamy, tonka adds hints of almond and caramel, and spices give gentle warmth.
Ideal for bedrooms or reading corners, these scents make you feel snug and pampered.
4. Clean and serene
Lavender, rosemary, and eucalyptus give your home a calm, refreshing feel. Lavender is soft, rosemary is fresh, and eucalyptus adds crisp clarity.
Perfect for bathrooms and bedrooms, they make your space feel like a breath of fresh air.
Home fragrance FAQs
What is a home fragrance?
A home fragrance is any product that adds scent to your living space. Scented home candles, home fragrance diffusers, incense, room sprays, and essential oils are some common examples. These scents enhance the mood of your space and create a welcoming atmosphere.
How long does a home fragrance last?
The lifespan depends on the type of fragrance. Candles typically burn 20–60 hours, reed diffusers last 1–3 months, and room sprays last a few hours per use. Factors like product quality, room size, and ventilation also affect longevity.
