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’s fancy incense, budget-friendly buys, or covetable candles. So when Sarah Sherman Samuel dropped her bed and bath collection with Lulu and Georgia earlier 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.
In Her Bathroom: Byredo Suede Hand Wash
You probably know Byredo from its squat, black-topped perfume bottles and ethereal names like Mojave Ghost and Gypsy Water. The 20-year-old Swedish brand is on all the cool kids’ shelves thanks to seductive, enigmatic blends, so it’s no wonder that Samuel has stocked her sink with the Suede hand wash. The refreshing, floral scent has notes of bergamot, violet, and amber and comes in recyclable, refillable packaging.
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, but rather 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. The Demeter scent is woodsy to its core, with cedar, sandalwood, and firr mingling alongside mandarin and pomegranate.
