Beauty news: meet CIRCA's affordably luxe home fragrances

Founded in 2010 as Circa Home, Australian home fragrance brand CIRCA is now available in New Zealand and ready to add a whole new scent of gorgeousness to your space.
Refined and understated, the chic brand’s floral, fresh, oriental and gourmand home fragrances are available as soy candles, fragrance diffusers, innovative “liquidless” diffusers (which totally blow my mind, just quietly) as well as hand wash and hand lotion formulas. With a beautiful artisanal feel, they are all crafted using high quality ingredients, and are gloriously free from parabens and silicones, which gets a big tick from me.

The collection of 12 beautifully uncomplicated fragrances is designed to work in tandem, or to stand on its own, to create special scent territories, or delicate scent backdrops in the home for mood and atmosphere. With the amount of time we’re all spending at home these days I’m all for creating an oasis of your own, and CIRCA is a great place to start.
The 12 fragrances across the home fragrance range consist of Oriental; Vanilla Bean & Allspice, Amber & Sandalwood, Floral; Cotton Flower & Freesia, Jasmine & Magnolia, Narcissus & Patchouli, Gourmand; Rose & Lychee, Mango & Papaya, Coconut & Watermelon and Fresh; Sea Salt & Vanilla, Oceanique, Pear & Lime, Blood Orange, so yep, there really is something for everyone. I have loved having a play with a couple of their Scented Soy Wax Candles, which are handmade and hand poured in Sydney using natural soy wax, high quality fragrant oils and cotton wicks. The faceted glass vessel is a joy to behold, and will definitely feature at many a wedding and family celebration come summer I think. CIRCA’s diffusers are also available in a beautiful, faceted glass vessel, while the Liquidless Diffusers are flame-free and spill-proof, making them perfect for busy households or high-traffic areas in the home.

Last but by no means least, the hand wash and hand lotion are quick to absorb and vegan friendly, as well as being free from parabens, silicones and artificial colours. They also don’t contain any petroleum based mineral oils, which only sit on your skin and don’t actively nourish the skin in the way that shea butter and naturally derived oils do.
A little slice of (very) affordable luxury, CIRCA is available now in selected department stores, boutiques and nz.circa.com.au from RRP $19.95.
