Fig Leaves In Flannel: I Tried Glasshouse’s Breathtaking Banff Room Spray

If your home still smells like anonymous laundry, consider this your nudge. I’ve been spritzing the limited edition Glasshouse Breathtaking Banff room spray in Maple Wood & Fig Leaf, and it has the nerve to make September feel like a cabin window cracked to the pines.

On first spray, I got that rush of cool air that reads clean without leaning into sterile ozone. The fig note is leaf-first, green and slightly peppery, more sap on fingertips than fruit salad. Give it two minutes and a soft sweetness sidles in, like figs kissed on a skillet, not drenched in syrup. The maple wood is the anchor here - resinous, gently toasted, a comfort heat rather than a gourmand sugar burn. If you usually skip fig because it turns jammy and cloying, this stays on the right side of fresh.

Performance check. One to two sprays is plenty for a medium room, three if you want the full cabin fantasy. It misted evenly and didn’t spot my linen curtains, which is an instant pass. I got a solid two to three hours of presence in the air, longer on textiles. The drydown is my favorite part - maple wood smoothing into clean woods, the fig leaf still whispering in the background.

A practical note. The bottle is 250 ml, priced at $55, which lands it in that niche-home-fragrance sweet spot where the juice actually smells composed. There is also a tree-shaped paper diffuser in the same vein, a clever little add-on for closets or the car if you want a lighter, continuous scent thread rather than a spray moment.

Who will love this. Fig fans who prefer green over gourmand, maple skeptics who fear pancake syrup, and anyone craving a brisk, outdoorsy home scent with a cozy core. Who might pass. If your fall must smell like cinnamon buns, this is a cleaner story.

Final thought. Breathtaking Banff feels like the rare room spray that edits a space instead of shouting over it. It reads fall, but not seasonal gimmick. I am keeping mine parked by the door for that instant reset when boots come off and city air follows you inside.
