Everyone knows that the Friends cast has remained close over the years, but did you know that their homes smell the same? Courteney Cox revealed in a talk at the Inc. 5000 45th Annual Conference and Gala that costar Jennifer Aniston uses her signature scent, Cece, in her home.
It's no surprise that some of the world's best actresses would love the world's best candles. In fact, Aniston's favorite fragrance is from Cox's own line, Homecourt. At the conference, Cox stated: 'Jennifer is obsessed with the Cece scent. I've never been to her house without smelling a Cece candle right when you walk in. And I love it.'
According to the Homecourt website, 'Cece' is a versatile candle with notes of cardamom, mate, cinnamon, carrot seeds, patchouli, and vetiver. It's described as being, 'Grounded, mysterious, and addictive' and noted as Cox's signature scent. Clearly, the two women have more than their history on the show in common. Beyond being an excellent way to make your home smell nice, the kiln-fired ceramic container the candle comes in makes it a gorgeous piece of decor. It boasts 60 hours of burn time to keep your home smelling like Aniston's for as long as possible.
This gorgeous candle features throughout Jennifer Aniston's home. It includes cedarwood smoke, sweet cardamom, cinnamon and white leather for a warming and interesting fragrance.
Furthermore, Aniston's choice is the perfect signature scent because it is right in line with fragrance trends. Master perfumer Laura Honey states: 'Homecourt has been really smart about the fragrance notes that they’ve put in the Cece. At the moment, everyone is loving the more typically ‘masculine’ woody, rich, and spicy scents in their homes. You get big hits of this in the earthy notes of cedarwood smoke, white leather, and vetiver. This will be dark, deep, and they’ll give the candle some impressive longevity and power. You won’t need to burn this for a long time or very often to get a distinct, delicious fragrance across your home.'
The fragrance layering in the candle makes it an incredibly balanced scent. Honey continues: 'Those rich notes would normally be too intense for most people, but the warmth of sweet cardamom and cinnamon brings a touch of coziness and warmth that lots of the most popular ‘masculine’ scents reject these days. The sweet-spicy aroma is a classic, but the Cece has readjusted the ratio to give just a hint of wintery softness. The third scent group, which you’ll only smell when the candle starts burning are those sharper, fresher notes. Carrot seeds might sound like an odd choice, as might patchouli, but this is actually a stroke of genius from Homecourt. They give a savory freshness that will lift the whole fragrance, helping the air to feel calm and fresh. I’m not surprised both Jen and Courtney love it.'
To master the art of home scenting showcased in Aniston's home, you will need to focus on making your entryway smell nice. Cox's assertion that you smell the candle right when you walk through Aniston's door implies that she keeps the candle in her foyer. Beyond using a candle, you can accomplish this effect by keeping your entryway exceptionally clean. Regularly sanitizing furniture and rugs will keep odors from offsetting the beauty of the Cece candle with less desirable scents.
Interior design is about more than just aesthetics; the right scent can set the scene for a cozy, inviting experience at home.
