Hilary Duff's scent-scaping method allows your home to evolve with your mood – her new fragrances 'elevate the little moments throughout your day'
The actress, who avidly practices scent zoning, has given us the incentive to try it ourselves – her new line is the perfect blend of cozy, bold richness
Adding fragrance to the home is a fantastic way to elevate ambiance; it's no wonder that scented candles are popular beyond the holidays, and diffusers continue to be home staples for many.
Hilary Duff is a fan of the latter, being an ambassador for the home fragrance company Below 60. Right on cue for the new year, the company has unveiled three new fragrances, each one distinct and appealing to different scent preferences. The actress, famously a practice of fragrance layering, has been known to use her scents to allow her space to evolve with the time of the day – and her new launch gives us a fresh opportunity to bring her practice into our homes.
'These scents are the perfect blend of cozy, bold richness to elevate the little moments throughout your day,' Duff states in the caption of her post, showing off the new products.
Smoky
As the title suggests, this seasonal scent transports you to a fall landscape with notes of rustic leaves, sweet almond and cinnamon.
Luxury
Hinoki, bergamot and vetiver make up this enchanting fragrance, ideal for evenings.
Floral
This rich blend of hyacinth blooms, honeysuckle, and jasmine, leads into a base of musk, amber and patchouli, making it the perfect scent for floral-lovers.

The three new scents include the smoky Hinoki Shadows in a Bourbon Bar, the cozy Smoke Rings Around an Autumn Moon, and I Knew You Would Notice a bold floral. All the scents are compatible with Below 60's signature diffuser, which has a simple, elegant design.
Adding a scent diffuser in the home is a great way to scent-scape, a practice that Duff adheres to and which involves placing different scents in different areas in order to curate a specific atmosphere.
'I feel like scent zoning is kind of like music,' she told us last year. 'Where you play a certain song because you're feeling a certain way. So, obviously, the signature scent you want can change depending on if you're entertaining, or you're just home alone, or your kids are having a bunch of friends over It's something that constantly shifts. I think it just makes sense because it's just another expression of what you're into at the time and how to make your personal space the most personal to you.'
All of the scent refills are available individually on Below 60's website for $12.99 or can be purchased as part of a subscription for $10.39. There is also a seasonal starter kit that comes with all three fragrances along with the diffuser for $58.99. If there's ever a time to try something like scent scaping, it's now – this could transform your home for the year ahead, and if it's Duff-approved, we're certainly willing to give it a go.
