One thing about the fashion crowd is that their good taste extends far beyond just the sartorial world. You'll usually discover that someone with a unique sense of style is also quite particular when it comes to other categories of aesthetics, like beauty and home decor. Fashion people curate their beauty routine and personal spaces as meticulously as they do their wardrobes, so when an item gets their stamp of approval you know it's well-deserved. 

Home fragrances fall under the same strict scrutiny. Fashion people choose their home fragrances based on two criteria. The first of course is the scent itself, striking the perfect balance of boldness and sophistication. Beyond the fragrance, the second component is the presentation of the vessel that carries it—whether that be a candle, reed diffuser, room spray, or hand soap. After all, the aesthetic is just as important as the olfactory experience. There are a few brands that stylish people turn to for home fragrances, and you're virtually guaranteed to spot one of these in their spaces. These brands perfectly marry fragrance with design—a treat for the nose and eyes, if you will. Below are the 5 best home fragrances, according to the fashion world. 

Diptyque

Step into virtually any stylish person's home and you'll spot Diptyque—the French brand is famous for producing some of the world's most sought-after candles. Between the luxurious fragrances and iconic branding, it's no wonder Diptyque has a hold over the fashion set. Each scent is inspired by a time, place, or story, with Baies, Figuier, and Tubéreuse being amongst the most popular. 

Byredo

Founded in Stockholm, luxury fragrance house Byredo has become a staple amongst the fashion crowd. Known for its intoxicating scents, minimalist design, and signature black wax candles, Byredo has mastered the art of quiet luxury. Bibliothèque and Burning Rose are some of their best-sellers, but I'm personally partial to the Ambre Japonais scent. 

Flamingo Estate

A newer addition to the fragrance scene is Flamingo Estate—the specialty brand of home and pantry essentials committed to honoring the natural world. Full of botanical notes straight from the garden, their scents and stunning branding has quickly cemented them as a staple in stylish homes. Each candle is plant-based and made from essential oils, with earthy notes like sage, tomato, and rosemary that transport you to an ethereal garden. 

Le Labo

You're probably already familiar with the Brooklyn-based brand's perfumes (Santal 33 has been wildly popular for the better part of a decade now), but the fashion set turns to Le Labo for home fragrances as well. Their candles are made with unique blends of fragrance oils and soy wax for rich, sophisticated scents that perfectly envelop a large space. 

Maison Margiela

Inspired by the connection between scent and memory, Maison Margiela Fragrances are a favorite of the style set. Each fragrance is formulated to stimulate personal memories of cherished moments—like evenings out at a New York jazz club, cozy nights by the fireplace, or springtime in the park. The candle's minimalist, cotton labels resemble the tags used in its garments, so it's no wonder the fashion crowd has welcomed them into their homes so seamlessly.

Next up: Trust me—these candles are the next best thing to a weekend in Provence.
