Whether your desk is in an at-home office, your bed or a bustling building, it’s got to get you in the right headspace. And how do you get a good headspace from your workspace? Scent, of course. Your nose is always working hard on a subconscious level (even when you’re not). So if you get the right kind of aromas up there, you can feel more focused, uplifted and relaxed.

We’ve rounded up seven of our favourite deskside scents to get you in the mood to, as RiRi would say, work, work, work, work, work,…
Maison Saine Crazy in Love Chakra Mist
$40, maison-saine.com.au
This mist has been a massive hit in the beautyheaven office! We drained it within about two weeks because of how much we spritzed it. The blend of rose, wild orange, cinnamon, ginger and jasmine absolute pure essential oils is so calming but also manages to pep you up – perfect for the office!
Venustus Australia create & inspire spray
$69, venustus.com.au
Mist your face and your atmosphere with this spray and then inhale for a boost of inspiration and creativity. It’s blended to reduce self doubt and forgotten imagination. It’s a staple on bh’s Sophie’s desk!

Peppermint Grove Lemongrass & Lime Room Diffuser
A room diffuser like this Peppermint Grove one will last you for about six months. And you’ll want it to with a refreshing blend of lime, bergamot, melon, lemon, mandarin orange, peach, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla pod and musk! Not only will the citrus scent invigorate you but the diffuser makes the cutest desk accessory.

Some handrolled and handmade resins of incense. Just burning one stick. Divine
I love love love the Peppermint room diffuser. It makes my whole room smelling fresh.
The article mentioned 7 of the best scents however only found one. Very disappointed.
I used to wear Elizabeth Arden green tea – not a strong scent but quite pleasant.
