What does happiness, unicorns and rainbows smell like?
These new home fragrances launching at the National Theatre Bookshop by DOIY attempts to reveal the answer.
As a houseproud nation we're big on creating special scents that will waft from room to room and greets guests when they enter our home. Guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face – rainbow scent, happiness scent and unicorn scent (not that these exist in real life, of course) are just three smells that you can now spritz around your home for £12 a can.
To add a sense of mystery to each scent, the connotations of each spray is displayed through a series of words on the printed label of the can.
The unicorn scent, which is inspired by cotton candy, is described as: 'Pink, sweet, gorgeous, dream, fantasy, kids for ever, purity, grace, mystery, legend, wild, imagination, purple, wings.'
The rainbow scent, which is inspired by melons, is described as: 'Fresh, colourful, dream, happy, perfect day, rain and sun, magic, nowness, beautiful, ephemeral, smile, luck.'
The happiness scent, which is inspired by cookies, is described as: 'Cookies, fruit, colours, candy, music, morning, childhood, Sunday, thankful, sweet, energy, good, power, together, cereals, laughs.'
Of course, there are plenty of other ways to make your home smell amazing. Aside from candles and reed diffusers, alternative ways are to simmer water in a saucepan with citrus slices and herbs, like lavender or mint, or create a houseplant haven with scented indoor plants – find more ideas here.
Unicorn/Happiness/Rainbow Scented Home Fragrance, £12 each, available from the National Theatre Bookshop
