The Art of Seasonal Scenting

Scent shapes memory, mood, and atmosphere. As seasons shift, the air changes too — warmer or cooler, lighter or heavier. Your Whisp Platform lets you mirror that natural rhythm so your space tells a living, breathing scent story all year long.

Why Seasonal Scenting Matters

We don’t eat, dress, or decorate the same way year-round, so our homes shouldn’t smell the same either. Rotating fragrances keeps your environment intentional and refreshing.

• Keeps your space feeling new and curated
• Prevents scent fatigue (nose “tuning out” familiar aromas)
• Aligns the atmosphere with the season’s light, weather, and mood
• Creates anticipation — each season gets its own signature scent

Spring — Renewal & Fresh Energy

Choose scents that feel crisp, floral, and green — the olfactory equivalent of opening the windows after winter.

• Top notes to look for: lemon, rose, orange blossom, bergamot
• Middle notes to look for: lily of the valley, jasmine, rose
• Base notes to look for: moss, ambergris, sandalwood

Diffusion tip: Run lighter settings (shorter work time, longer pauses). Aim for an airy backdrop that enhances sunlight and open air.

Summer — Lightness & Escape

Think sun-dried linen, ocean air, and bright citrus—easy, open scents that travel well in warm weather.

• Top notes to look for: lemon, citrus, bergamot
• Middle notes to look for: white tea, lily of the valley, rose
• Base notes to look for: ambergris, cypress, pathcouli

Fall — Comfort & Transition

Cooler air invites cozy textures and deeper notes. Warm, spicy, and resinous blends add comfort without heaviness.

• Top notes to look for: fig, pink pepper, pear
• Middle notes to look for: almond, rose magnolia, sandalwood
• Base notes to look for: amber, woody notes, tonka bean

Diffusion tip: Shift your schedule earlier to match shorter days and create a welcoming evening atmosphere.

Winter — Stillness & Sanctuary

Layered, comforting, and softly smoky or sweet — winter scents turn your home into a cozy retreat.

• Top notes to look for: bellflower, black currant, cloves
• Middle notes to look for: white flowers, spice notes, lavender
• Base notes to look for: coffee, musk, woody notes, patchouli

Diffusion tip: With lower ventilation and warmer air, scent lingers longer. Shorten work time to avoid over-saturation and consider a mid-day break period.

Tips for Rotating Scents

Clean your canister and atomizer when switching fragrances to prevent mixing notes. Here's how you do it:

1. Remove the scent canister and save any leftover oil in a clearly marked container away from light (ideally back in the container it came in)
2. Fill the scent canister with a small amount of rubbing alcohol.
3. Run your Whisp for 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the rubbing alcohol to clean out the supply lines and atomizer.
4. Turn off your Whisp, empty the remaining rubbing alcohol, and refill with your new scent.

Build Your Scent Library

Create a simple scent rotation plan that makes scenting effortless. Here are some ideas to get you started.

• 2 core scents as year-round favorites that can be used during any season

Your Whisp makes swapping as simple as changing a bottle — letting your space reflect the time of year beautifully.
