Nest | Charcoal Woods Reed Diffuser
For men that like their homes to be as stylish as their attire, I recommend NEST New York, a fragrance house that transforms everyday living through scents that transport, inspire, and captivate the senses.

Featuring notes of smoky labdanum, patchouli, and cedarwood, combined with charred birchwood and a hint of black truffle, this diffuser is designed to evoke the depths of a mysterious forest.
Never Go Alone | Edition 01: Sandstone Candle
Another great home fragrance is the Never Go Alone Edition 01 Sandstone Candle (£52 thefragranceshop.co.uk). Made in France, this candle is designed to create a calming, soothing atmosphere for the home. It contains top notes of juniper, cardamom, black pepper, coriander, and green citrus, middle notes of eucalyptus, lavandin, rose otto, and cinnamon leaf, and base notes of sandalwood, cedar, and musk. The notes of cardamom and sandalwood are specifically chosen for their abilities to calm and soothe. In fact, cardamom is one of the most ancient spices, known for its healing properties and potential anti-microbial and anti-viral actions. Sandalwood has been chosen for its ability to improve fatigue, calm the mind, and act as a mood enhancer.
