Holker Boss tells PEOPLE that her favorite thing about her new home is the smell. “I’m religious about the scent of my house and every day at 5:00 p.m. I do an order, almost like you get in hotels,” says the mother of three. “The lighting changes, the mood, the candles, everything has a big moment and turns into our nightly events. So I love that.”

She’s “obsessed with Le Lab” for her candles, she says, and usually chooses Santal on the main level of the home and Palo Santo in her master suite. “Yeah, I’ve always been a smelly girl and then when I moved here, I was like, ‘Okay, what does this house smell like?’ That was a big deal for me.”

In November, Holker Boss sold the family home in Los Angeles that she shared with her late husband and their three children. According to property records, the home sold for $3.525 million after originally being listed for sale in October 2023 for $3.795 million.

The venue is familiar to the couple’s fans as Holker Boss has often shared videos of her and Boss dancing together at their home on Instagram.

After moving into the Encino estate in 2019, the couple shared their 2021 redesign of the space in collaboration with Pottery Barn.

Holker Boss shared with PEOPLE at the time that she “really wanted the home to feel like a sanctuary for us where we could breathe together and just make memories in this really warm space.”

The couple had been married for nine years before their ex The Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ died. After meeting at a party in 2006, they reconnected in 2010 in Season 7 So you think you can dance and later got married in December 2013.

The family remembered him on the star’s 41st birthday in September. Allison wrote: “We honor our beautiful, sweet, kind and beloved Stephen tWitch Laurel Boss. Forever in our hearts and minds he carries us, guides us and lifts us up.”
