The first impression of any home is often its scent, which is why we’re all partial to a fabulous home fragrance that keeps our spaces smelling fresh and inviting. But if you’ve ever wondered what the homes of royals smell like, this brand new fragrance line from Freckleface offers the perfect opportunity to add a regal touch to your home with some delightful floral scents that are just right for summer.
Crafted in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity responsible for preserving some of the UK’s most iconic heritage sites, this new collection draws inspiration from the rich history of several Royal palaces and their stunning gardens, including Kensington Palace, Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace. Timed perfectly to coincide with the Chelsea Flower Show, the range encompasses everything from candles and wax melts to reed diffusers and scented ceramics.

Every piece in the new Historic Royal Palaces collection is handcrafted and sustainably produced, available in three distinct fragrances. Your options include:.
Royal Bouquet – A fresh burst of orange blossom complemented by subtle floral notes and aromatic myrtle. Royal Garden – A blend of rose and hydrangea with a hint of vanilla. Royal Nights – Oud infused with fresh citrus and undertones of bergamot. The floral-inspired aromas make this home fragrance collection a perfect match for the spring and summer seasons, infusing your indoor space with a breath of fresh air. A standout from the range is the Historic Royal Palaces Large Candle, retailing at £42 and offering up to 40 hours of burn time.

Each candle is crafted from 100% vegan soya wax and is free from paraffin, with the natural wax ensuring a clean, consistent burn every time. You can select from three scents for your candle, or if you’re torn between them, the Candle Discovery Set is priced at £45 and includes all three fragrances in a slightly smaller size, each promising up to 20 hours of burn time.
Ever wondered what candles the royals themselves favour? We’ve got the inside track. Kate Middleton is reportedly such a fan of Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom cologne that she chose it as her wedding scent. British Vogue revealed that Princess Kate arranged for Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom Scented Candles to be scattered around Westminster Abbey during the ceremony.
Meghan Markle, meanwhile, was cited by The Cut as being partial to the Bassett Rose Water Candle from Soho House. These candles are hand-poured in England and feature notes of lemon, geranium and guaiac woods.

However, if you’re more inclined towards a continuous release of fragrance rather than the intermittent scent from lit candles, the £46 Historic Royal Palaces Reed Diffuser from Freckleface’s collection is your go-to. This generous 200ml bottle ensures your home is perpetually infused with one of three delightful scents for up to six months, making it an ideal addition to your bedside table or a cosy cloakroom.
For those on a budget, the Scented Ceramic at £14.50 is a fantastic choice. Perfect for hanging in your wardrobe or placing anywhere from drawers and suitcases to your car, it offers a subtle yet noticeable fragrance.
Alternatively, the £16 Wax Melt Set is another great pick. This set includes nine individual wax melts – three of each scent – with each melt promising up to 20 hours of scent release, reports the Mirror.
