Scents & Sensibility
One thing we love having in our Boutique is our signature store fragrance. It's so easy to create your own, and besides, store-bought linen spray can be so full of weird ingredients. Use it to refresh the linen in your bedroom so the whole room smells fresh you get into bed, or give your folded towels and throw blankets in the linen closet a quick spritz if they’ve been sitting for long periods of time.
