Creating a home that feels both calm and joyful is no easy task, especially when kids are involved. It has to look great, function well, and most importantly, feel good for everyone who lives there. Enter the power of scent: an often overlooked design element that can set the mood, spark imagination, and bring a space to life.
That’s where Hotel Collection and the Museum of Ice Cream come in. Their new collaboration, brought to life with the creative direction of brand licensing agency Bella Ohm, is a playful, design-forward fragrance that transforms everyday spaces into dreamy escapes. From a pastel cloud-covered diffuser to a marshmallow-sweet candle, the Daydream collection is everything you want in a home scent: safe, stylish, and fun for the whole family.
A Scent That Sparks the Imagination
At the heart of the collection is the signature Daydream scent: a delicious blend of bing cherries, jasmine clouds, and whipped marshmallow. It’s a fragrance that smells like fun without being overly sweet—a hard balance to strike.
For kids, it evokes the feeling of a candy store or a favorite dessert. For adults, it offers a dose of nostalgia with a fresh, calming finish. It’s the kind of scent that makes everyone smile, and it’s strong enough to fill a room without overwhelming it.
Whether you’re trying to shift your space from chaotic to calm or just want to add a little magic to your morning routine, Daydream delivers.
Design That Invites Play
We all know that design matters in family spaces, and the Cloud Studio Pro Diffuser checks every box. Softly powder-coated in baby blue and adorned with gentle white clouds, it looks more like a whimsical art piece than a high-tech home device. Whether it’s tucked into a nursery, styled in a playroom, or placed on a hallway console, it adds charm without sacrificing sophistication.
Then there’s the Daydream Candle, a soy-blend wax candle hand-poured in Hotel Collection’s Miami warehouse. With its minimalist jar and cotton wick, it’s free from synthetic dyes and additives, making it a thoughtful addition to any room. Light it in the living room during family movie night, or set it in the bathroom for a bit of self-care during nap time.
The entire collection was co-designed with creative input from the Museum of Ice Cream, known for its joyful, larger-than-life installations and pastel playground vibes. The result? Products that feel imaginative and sensory-rich without veering into overly kid-themed territory.
Where Whimsy Meets Wellness
Fragrance isn’t just about aesthetics, but about the memories it evokes and how it makes you feel. And when you have kids or pets at home, it also has to meet a higher standard of safety and quality.
Hotel Collection’s cold-air diffuser technology offers a waterless, heatless gadget that scents up to 600 square feet. No open flames, no messy oils, and no worrying about tipping it over. It uses Hotel Collection’s signature Pro-Pod oil system, which means the fragrance stays enclosed in a clean, easy-to-use cartridge.
Even better? The oils themselves are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and free from parabens and preservatives. That makes them safe for use around children and pets, so you can scent your home with peace of mind.
Parents will especially appreciate how easy the diffuser is to operate and maintain. It doesn’t require water, has adjustable scent strength, and leaves no residue. It’s a truly low-maintenance way to keep your home smelling inviting and fresh.
The Joy of Gifting (or Keeping!)
If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for a baby shower, housewarming, or holiday exchange, the Daydream collection is a standout. It’s personal without being too specific, useful without being boring, and beautifully packaged to make a lasting impression.
And if you’re shopping for yourself? All the better. This is a collection that was clearly made for the modern family, with room for both grown-up taste and childlike wonder.
In a world that can sometimes feel a little too serious, this collection offers a sweet reminder: home should smell like happiness.
