Reed Diffusers - Adding Fragrance To Your Home

Reed Diffusers - Adding Fragrance To Your Home

Reed diffusers are a great way of adding delicate, continous scent to your home - or indeed your workplace. However, fragrance is a very personal thing - just consider how attached some people become to a perfume or cologne - so that there are no real hard and fast rules about which fragrance to use in a particular room.

You may prefer to use a "gourmet" fragrance in the kitchen, so scents such as vanilla, cinnamon and orange tend to work well there. Invigorating scents like lemongrass, citrus and ginger are perfect for living areas or in the hall or reception because they are so fresh, welcoming and uplifting

One of the main reasons for choosing reed diffusers over other forms of home fragrance, such as scented candles, is that they can fill your home or office with subtle, delicate and continous fragrance, without ever being overpowering. Scented candles last for several hours, whereas fresh cut flowers will give your home localised fragrance for a few days - a week perhaps - but a superior quality fragrance diffuser will last for many months. It is one of the reasons why people sometimes choose to combine reed diffusers with scented candles when they are looking to create a fragrance "boost" for the home. You can use your diffuser all year round and light a scented candle when you want an uplift in fragrance.

What To Look For When Choosing Reed Diffusers:

When it comes to selecting your diffuser, how the product looks and how it will fit in with your decorative theme is obviously a major consideration. Much time and attention is devoted by home fragrance manufacters to the design and packaging of their products for this very reason. Aesthetics aside, try to select a product which has a high percentage of fragrance or essential oils and at the same time correspondingly low levels of alcohol. On no account should there be any water in the fragrant liquid. If you pick a diffuser which contains high levels of water and/or alchohol, the product will evaporate quickly, so your reed diffuser will not last very long, and what scent it does provide will be weak and will not be distributed well throughout your living space. One simple tip which is worth bearing in mind is to avoid reed diffusers that are strongly coloured, as this tends to indicate that the product has high levels of water and alchohol.

Given how personal fragrance can be, the best advice is probably to experiment with different aromas and, indeed, with different products, such as a combination of reed diffusers and scented candles, to come up with the perfect fragrance solution for your home or office.
