Frying, curries and grilling are part of life in Singapore, and the smells can linger in smaller kitchens. A little planning helps.
Start with ventilation
Turn on the exhaust fan while you cook and keep it on for ten minutes after. Open a window if you can.
Then add a fresh scent
A scent does not remove odours, but it can make the room feel fresher. These oils work well:
- Lemon: bright and clean.
- Peppermint: cool and sharp.
- Eucalyptus: airy and fresh.
- Grapefruit and orange: sweet and uplifting.
Simple kitchen routines
- Diffuse 3 to 4 drops of lemon for 30 minutes after dinner.
- Wipe worktops and the sink, then finish with a fresh scent.
- Keep a small reed diffuser just outside the kitchen, not next to the stove.
A note on safety
Keep diffusers and oils away from heat, flames and cooking areas. Never leave a diffuser running unattended.
Browse our single oils for citrus and mint, or choose a reed diffuser for the hallway.
