Make Your Memory Last with a Scent

Memory 

People can remember 65% of a scent after one year compared with visual recall which is 50% after 3 months.

A memory is a story that is deeply personal to you that you can recall over and over again. Our senses play a major role when we think of a memory, and one that we often take for granted is smell.

Imagine an aroma from your most treasured holiday that you could bottle up and bring home with you; a scent that could recall all the brilliant memories that you can keep forever. Studies have found that our sense of smell is linked to our emotions.

Aromas 

A smell can bring you back to a holiday you had years ago of the sun-baked land, rich, heavenly scents of succulent foods and of happiness. Sweet peppery notes of the local’s perfumery or of the freshly washed bed sheets in your hotel room. The silky soapy suds of your shampoo or the honeyed fragrance of blooming flowers picked up by the wind that flows through the open balcony doors.

Capture a scent and keep it forever!

Or perhaps you’re at university, away from home and missing the smell of home-cooked dinners and the crisp cotton aroma of newly washed and warm laundry waiting for you to snuggle into. Perhaps your mum bought you a reed diffuser to rid of those funky smells you’ll probably smell in your dorm so that you’ll be reminded of home whenever you start that tricky essay.

A scent is entirely personal to you because you share an association, a memory, with it that will last your entire lifetime. Something close to your heart that when you smell it you are transported across time and remember exactly how it made you feel.

The finishing touches to any room is the smell, no matter how luxuriously decorated the living space is, if the smell is forgettable you might just forget how enjoyable a time you had there.

Form memories using smell and you’ll be bringing the amazing scents of your holiday or experience home with you to enjoy forevermore!

Reed diffusers allow scents to stay for 3 months!

7 Amazing Benefits of Aromatherapy

Dab lavender on your pillow or use oils in your bath and
you'll feel relaxed in no time at all!

Smell that?

Sweet floral scents of fresh roses and delicate lavender, zesty freshness of lemon and orange, peppery and exotic hints of spices and fragrant herbs.

How terrible would life be if you could not smell freshly baked bread, cut grass, the plummy tones of spring, the heat of summer, the woodiness of autumn or the crisp notes of winter?

History of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy has been around as far back as 10,000BC, primarily to ward off evil spirits. However, since then we have come a long way to find out the great benefits of aromatherapy and what it can do for your health.  

It was around 5,000BC in Egypt that fragrances were chiefly used as offerings for the Gods and were later used as a symbol for extravagant wealth, playing a much larger part in high-society dinner parties than you would find today.

Room fragrances are a much older notion than personal perfumes are, where scents were regarded as having the power to connect mortals with the Gods. Egyptian priests would use aromas and burn incense to mask the less ambrosial odours of sacrificial offerings.

It was found in 1897 by archaeologists that Pharaohs were entombed with scented oils and floral ingredients, perhaps to connect these significant figures on a spiritual level with the Gods.

Many ingredients for these scented oils were sourced from neighbouring Arabian countries, others sourced from Greece and Italy. These included spices and resins such as cinnamon, cassia, frankincense and myrrh. Perhaps the most famous of scents being Kyphi (comprising of 16 ingredients) which was used to appease and p-please the Gods and ensure the safe return of the Sun God, Ra.

Not only were fragrances used for divinity but they were used as a sensuous tool for attraction, sporting events, parades and funerals. Also, medicinal and therapeutic purposes, with specific scents attaching themselves to the relief of anxiety, to brighten dreams and to heal the soul. Lavender, for example, has a calming and drowsing effect used to soothe and incur sleep.

Making the Most of a Fabulous Fragrant Reed Diffuser in Your Home

Create a fresh living space with revitalising scents that invite your guests for you!

There's something so delightful about having a beautifully fragrant home, and the best way to achieve that is by using a reed diffuser. It's so much more effective, not to mention more pleasant, than other commercially available artificial sprays, or potpourri that needs to be in a huge pile and big bowl to be effective.

Of course, you get what you pay for, and a luxury product will always provide better value for your money in the long run, provided you use it properly. So how do you get the most out of your home fragrance diffuser? The first step is to ensure you place it in the right position. Putting it by an open window will suck the fragrance out rather than diffusing it around the room. Place it in a position where that beautiful fragrance will be able to reach all the corners of the room instead.

The Right Scent: What Aromas to Fill Your Home Fragrance Diffuser With

Home owners often worry about the visual aspects of their home. There are other things that can make a room come together, though, and one of these is a room’s smell. It can be a subtle thing but the right fragrance can do a lot to affect the mood of a room’s occupants and create the perfect ambiance. The trouble is that many people just buy a few random incense sticks and light them up every once in a while. Worse, some people actually depend on an occasional spray of air freshener.

Reed Diffusers: More Than Just a Room Fragrance

Reed Diffusers have been used for centuries to fragrance homes and have recently gained popularity as a way of infusing living spaces with magnificent scents to create a calming and appealing ambience. Aside from their fabulous smell, the fact that they pose no fire risks within the home and are relatively inexpensive, reed diffusers have many other benefits that make them the perfect choice over other air enhancers such as electric air fresheners and scented candles.
