Aromatic Reed Diffusers - The perfect way to fragrance a home

As I have mentioned in previous articles fragrance plays a big part in our daily life whether it be waking up to the smell of coffee, walking down the street and getting a waft of a perfume or cologne that reminds you of an ex (admit it, we’ve all been there!) or simply walking into a restaurant and being hit by the wonderful aroma of food to get the taste buds going. 

We take on so many fragrances in any one day, we probably won’t acknowledge a majority of them – and to be honest, sometimes that’s probably not a bad thing!  There is one place we can control fragrance, however, and that’s in the home.  Fragrancing a home allows you to transport yourself to a special place, create a little oasis, or just disguise smells you don’t want in the house!

Candles have traditionally been used to create the perfect fragrant ambience but aromatic diffusers have taken the home fragrance market by storm in the last 5 years.  Their popularity continues to grow at a phenomenal rate and they are predicted to soon hold the largest share of sales in the home fragrance sector.

 So, what are diffusers?
Reed diffusers are a contemporary way of fragrancing the home, and are a perfect no flame, no hassle alternative to candles.  They provide that sought after sense of individuality with the necessary bonus of decorative flair, and make the scent of any space special.

How do they work?
It’s all very simple.  The reeds are placed in the bottle of fragrance oil, they absorb the oil which then travels through to the ends of the stick, diffusing into the surrounding space gradually and consistently over the following months.  To achieve a stronger fragrance the reed sticks can be flipped.  The longevity of the fragrance oil will depend on factors such as the size of space it is scenting, the ventilation within the space and the number of times the sticks are flipped. 

What are the benefits of a diffuser?
□        Keeps spaces beautifully scented with minimum effort
□        Eliminate everyday odours in the home/work space
□        No soot onto your furniture, walls and ceiling
□        Last longer than flowers and are safer than candles (you don’t need to worry about blowing them out at night!)
□        Fragrance levels can be controlled
□        No power outlet is required
□        They are perfect for personal use and gift giving
□        They look great!
□        Environmentally friendly

What makes a good diffuser?
There are so many diffusers currently available in the market it can be quite confusing when trying to decide which diffuser to go for.  When buying a diffuser brand there are a number of important factors to consider and I have summarised below a few key points to look for when making your choice:-
□        Effective reed sticks (with good absorbing qualities)
□        A high quality formulation (high fragrance oil content, no water, minimal alcohol)
□        Non-coloured (natural essence base) – colours mean additives
□        A simple decorative bottle – so it can sit comfortably in any room

Why Abode Aroma?

 □        Superior Formulation – Abode Aroma diffusers use the maximum level of fragrance oil and the minimum level of carrier possible – there is NO water in the product. The high level of fragrance oil, combined with very low levels of alcohol, will not only ensure outstanding fragrance impact but will give the product great longevity as the speed of evaporation will be retarded. The product has a natural essence base, with no added colour. (Coloured oils usually have high levels of water and alcohol which evaporate quickly so the product won’t last and the scent won’t permeate into the room)
□        Remarkable Longevity – Our diffusers, on average, will last up to 6 months! (that’s less than £5 a month to fragrance a space)
□        Contemporary Fragrance Range – allowing the consumer to create a ‘signature’ fragrance in their home
□        Vibrant Packaging – The packaging is so beautiful it almost requires no gift wrapping

In summary, aromatic reed diffusers are a convenient, low-maintenance alternative to standard home fragrancing techniques, keeping spaces beautifully scented with minimum effort.  If you are considering giving diffusers a go, Abode Aroma is a great brand to try as it provides a vast choice of premium quality fragrances at mid-market prices.
