Plants are an excellent way to be close to nature. If you have a fragrant plant at your home, they not only help to uplift the mood, but also make the atmosphere truly wonderful!
We’ve picked 10 of the best smelling indoor plants, and some of the all-time favorites to share with you in this article.
1. Lavender
Lavender isn’t just a beautiful looking plant, it smells wonderful as well! The relaxing and gentle fragrance is very distinctive and one that can permeate a room with its subtle scent. Often grown outdoors, lavender is a wonderful plant to bring indoors as well.
2. Gardenia
Gardenia is one of the more famous fragrant indoor plants. This houseplant has dark green glossy leaves and white flowers, which waft a delicious aromatic sense.
The plant does well in acidic soil and needs at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily, so keep them near a sunny window.
3. Jasmine
With its thick green leaves and pretty white flowers, Jasmine is known for being one of the more elegant indoor plant options. This plant produces a sweet and delicate aroma, which many compare to fresh linens.
Grow jasmine in a bright spot protected from drafts and provide abundant humidity. Water regularly and feed it in spring and summer with a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer.
4. Hoya Plant
5. Orchids
Orchids come in all colors with a wide variety of blooms. They also each have their own unique scent.
The best place to keep an orchid in your house is in a position with bright, filtered natural light.
6. Lemon Balm
Lemon balm is a perennial herb that grows thick and bushy. If you brush or lightly rub the leaves, you’ll find a sweet lemon aroma.
The freshness of lemon balm is a lovely addition to any room in your home. Keep the plant by an open window in warmer weather – the flow of air will help release the lemon scent from the leaves.
7. Scented Geranium
Geraniums are one of the best-looking plants because of their flower spikes! This plant has scented foliage, making it quite different from the other fragrant indoor plants in this list.
Grow scented geraniums in a bright spot protected from drafts. Water and feed regularly with a general-purpose plant food.
8. Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is a beautiful, but somewhat tricky indoor plant to grow. These plants absorb water quickly, so they need to be watered frequently.

The fragrance of Lily of the Valley is truly amazing! The little bell-shaped flowers have a perfume scent that is easily recognizable.
