Quiz: Which Home Scent is Right for You?

By Jenn Rose Smith
Odyssey

Here at CS, we’re officially obsessed with the idea of a “signature home scent.” All of our favorite hotels have one, and even some of our favorite stores too. Try as we might, we’ve never been able to master the consistent home fragrance. For years we’ve heard rumors that the commercial spaces we admire have special electronic systems that maintain their perfect signature scents, but that sort of technology seemed out of reach. Until now.

Prolitec (the very company that designs and builds those commercial systems) just announced the release of their first-ever home fragrance system this year. Aera is a miniaturized version of the commercial technology — it perfectly diffuses a signature scent throughout your home.

Even better? You can control it all from a nifty smartphone app. From the palm of your hand you can schedule and control the scent effect on one or multiple devices. So there’s really only one hard decision to make: which of Aera‘s six new home scents will be yours?

Since we view scent as an essential part of home design, we’ve designed a fun interior-based quiz for you to discover your fragrance style. Read our profiles below to see which Aera fragrance will compliment your home best:
