Scent is deeply tied to emotion, memory, and mood—making fragrance a powerful way to enhance both your home and daily rituals.

At Suzie Anderson Home, we’re proud to stock a thoughtfully curated selection of home and body fragrance brands, from Trudon to Flower Box Diffusers, Goldfield & Banks, and beyond. Today, we’re shining a light on one of our longstanding favourites: Antica Farmacista.

Rooted in European apothecary tradition, Antica Farmacista’s collection is crafted with high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re seeking a room spray to refresh your home, a bubble bath to unwind, or body care that leaves a lasting scent, this range brings beauty to every moment.

To help you find the right fragrance for your mood, style, or space, we’ve created a 1-minute Fragrance Finder Quiz based on the Antica collection.

Understanding How Fragrance Works

Fragrances are composed in layers:

  • Top notes are the bright first impression—typically citrus, herbs, or light spice that fade quickly.

  • Middle notes form the heart of the scent and linger longer; think soft florals, fruits or green notes.

  • Base notes provide lasting depth—woods, musks or warm amber that anchor the fragrance throughout the day.

A beautiful scent reveals itself over time. Don’t be swayed by the top note alone—it’s the full progression that creates a signature.


The Art of Layering

Antica Farmacista fragrances are also designed to layer across formats—from body wash and moisturiser to room spray and diffuser.

Here are a few scent-pairing tips:

  • Citrus adds zest to florals or depth to warmer scents

  • Fresh notes brighten floral or fruity profiles

  • Floral scents can feel airy or grounded, depending on how they’re paired

  • Green or earthy fragrances bring a grounded, natural feel

  • Warm, musky notes enhance depth and richness
