Whenever someone we admire reveals their home's signature scent, we're all ears (noses?). It feels like being let in on a secret to get the inside scoop on a tastemaker'sfancy incense,budget-friendly buys, orcovetable candles. So when Sarah Sherman Samuel dropped herbed and bath collectionwithLulu and Georgiaearlier this month, we couldn't help but ask what the Michigan-based interior designer uses to perfume her own home. She let us in on her go-to bedroom diffuser, as well as her staple hand soap. Because if you can't trust a designer's sink soap, what can you trust?
In Her Bathroom:Byredo Suede Hand Wash
In Her Bedroom:M.Fisher Demeter Diffuser
Samuel divulged that she doesn't use a candle, incense, or even a room spray in her bedroom—she's way too cool for basic scent solutions. Instead, she goes with a diffuser from New York-based designer Matthew Fisher. Each set includes a stone sculpture, cast tray, and perfume oil—just drip the oil onto the stone to disperse the fragrance into the air like you're conducting a tiny aromatherapy symphony. The Demeter scent is woodsy to its core, with cedar, sandalwood, and fir mingling alongside mandarin and pomegranate. It's basically a forest in a bottle, but make it fancy.
