be our guest: essential scents for a welcoming atmosphere

Providing a peaceful atmosphere for visitors is a great goal to have. The sharp, aromatic scent of lavender is associated with cleanliness and relaxation. Add sachets of fresh lavender to your bed linens or spritz bottles of calming lavender water to help guests dispel the busyness of the day and promote a restful night’s sleep.

As some essential oil producers are problematic in their sourcing and supply chain, we look for and buy from local farm sources wherever possible.

We keep a sealed bin under each guest bed with linens for that room packed with naturally derived refreshers like bay leaves or lavender. While initially expensive, bay garland can be dried and used for years as a softly scented reminder of gatherings that keeps the smell of stored linens fresh.

Full size, like our hearts when we welcome guests!

Bay leaves repurposed from last year’s bay garland at the holidays.

Allergy check with potential guests is always recommended. Here at Cordelia, our guest list is necessarily limited: like it or not, and though we SUPER clean, especially before our guests arrive, dog and cat hair are part of the “experience”!

Tucked cozily in the linen drawer, an arrangement of cloves, dried oranges, fir, and bay leaves create a nostalgic holiday scent.
