Understanding Home Fragrance Accessories Category 500121
The Home Fragrance Accessories category, identified by ID 500121, is designed for items that support or enhance the use of home scent products. This category is part of the Decor path within the Home & Garden taxonomy.
Products belonging here are tools or decorative objects used in conjunction with fragrances. Examples from the US market include candle holders for pillar or taper candles, wick trimmers for maintenance, decorative lanterns designed to house candles, and diffuser reeds. These items are strictly for the application or display of home scents rather than the actual fragrance products themselves.
Items that do not belong in this category include actual scents, which should be placed in Home Fragrances, or general decorative items like Vases, Picture Frames, or Decorative Trays. If you are selling specialized containers for scents, ensure they are not categorized as general household Decor. Additionally, do not place lighting fixtures or electronic scent diffusers here if they are categorized under specialized electrical goods.
You should choose a subcategory instead of this general category whenever a product falls into Candle Holders, Incense Holders, Candle & Oil Warmers, or Candle Snuffers. Selecting the most granular category helps Google better understand your inventory.
To include this in your feed, use the numeric ID 500121 or the full path: Home & Garden > Decor > Home Fragrance Accessories. While the attribute is optional, using it prevents Google from miscategorizing your items. Remember that product_type remains your own classification, whereas this attribute is strictly for Google's taxonomy mapping.
