Choose by current state

Start with what your nervous system is doing now.

A good hostess gift is something the host would not buy for themselves and will still be using after the evening ends. Aerchitect mists are fine fragrance made for the room, the linens and the skin, so they fit into a home rather than asking for a place on the counter.

Why a fragrance mist makes a thoughtful host gift

  • It works in the home. Mist the guest room, the sofa throw or the pillows. No need to guess at a personal perfume.
  • It is gender-free. The scents are woody, herbal and green rather than sweet or floral, so they suit hosts of any kind.
  • It lasts. A 100ml bottle outlives the flowers and the leftovers by months.
  • It stays close. Each mist is composed for near-field wear: noticeable up close, never overpowering the room.

Which one to bring

The Mood Toolkit ($95) is the most generous choice: CALM, FOCUS and GROUND in three 30ml mists, so the host can try all three and find a favorite.

GROUND ($69) suits the host whose home is their pride. Fig leaf, bergamot and santal feel warm and settled in an entryway or on fresh linens.

CALM ($69) is for the host who is always last to sit down. Thyme, clove and santal, kept by the bed for the wind-down once the dishes are done.

For Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving and holiday parties

Bring it to Thanksgiving dinner, a holiday party or a weekend stay. When you hand it over, tell the host it is for them, not for tonight. That is the whole point of a hostess gift.

Questions before you choose.

What makes a good hostess gift?

Something the host can enjoy after the evening, rather than something they need to deal with during it. A fine-fragrance mist for the room and linens fits that well.

Can these be used as a room spray?

Yes. Each mist works in the air, on linens and pillows, on clothing, and on skin or hair.

Are they gender-neutral?

Yes. Aerchitect scents are gender-free: woody, herbal and green rather than sweet or floral.

Which mist is best for a host?

The Mood Toolkit if you want them to try all three. GROUND for a warm, settled scent around the home. CALM for the host who needs the wind-down after the party.

What is in the Mood Toolkit?

CALM, FOCUS and GROUND in three 30ml mists, for $95.

When should I give a hostess gift?

Hand it over when you arrive and tell the host it is for them to enjoy later. That way it never becomes another thing to manage during the party.
