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.

Scents and Our Mood: What Kind Does Your Home Fragrance Diffuser Emit?


A person’s mood can be greatly affected by the five senses. A beautiful scenery can make you feel excited and upbeat, while extreme temperatures can cause discomfort and irritation. People would sometimes turn to food for comfort, and of course there are those who listen to music as a way of relaxation. These are just some of the simple ways our senses affect and, to a certain degree, change our moods. The sense of smell, however, is something that many people overlook. Plugging in the headphones, eating comfort food, and even visiting a place we love are common things that people would do when they are having a bad day; however research shows that aromatherapy might actually be a more effective solution, since the olfactory bulbs are directly connected to the part of the brain that processes emotion.

How Aromatherapy Benefits Seniors

Aromatherapy is a type of alternative medicine known to improve a person’s mood and overall health. Besides helping elderlies calm down and relax, it can also alleviate symptoms of illnesses like dementia and respiratory infections, soothe discomforts from bodily pains as well as promote a healthier blood circulation and skin regeneration. It involves oils distilled from plants long used for their medicinal properties.

Parts of a Reed Diffuser

A home fragrance diffuser is a good option for enhancing any room in the house. It’s a flame-free way to fill a room with relaxing scents and it does so without overwhelming the nose. Diffusers can also be designed with luxurious aesthetics. They don’t only give the room a nice smell but can also make the room more visually appealing.

How does a reed diffuser work though? Let’s take a closer look at its parts:

Bottle of Oil

Scents used by diffusers come in the form of oils contained in a glass bottle. The cap of the bottle is designed to have a space for the reeds to go through.

The Reeds

The reeds are the means by which the scents are brought to the air. Part of each reed is dipped into the scent oil and the rest stick out of the bottle exposed to the air. The reed absorbs the oil and it goes up to the upper parts through a process called capillarity—the same way plants absorb moisture from the ground. The scent disperses into the air as it evaporates, filling the room with the scent at a regular rate.


With the above, reed diffusers are pretty simple to use, an additional characteristic that makes it a nice option for freshening up the home.

Home Fragrance Diffuser: Carry the Scents of Home on Your Travels


Have you ever experienced going on an extended trip away from home, and getting terribly homesick after a few days? It could happen during a business trip, or in a college dorm room, and even in a new home after a recent move. Homesickness is not easy to escape from. You could be enjoying the sights of Paris one moment and suddenly find yourself thinking about your mom’s cooking after a whiff of newly baked bread. Many research has been made on the relationship between smells and memory, and while there is no solid explanation yet, it was noted that scents can be an even more powerful trigger than sight. This is why bringing familiar scents are advised for those who have to leave home for a few days and may experience homesickness.

Many people who have recently discovered the wonders of home fragrance diffusers only wish they had purchased one sooner. Infusing living spaces with fabulous scents that evoke feelings of relaxation and comfort, these chic and pleasant-smelling decorator items are a wonderful addition to any home.

Why You’ll Love Natural Reed Diffuser Scents like Lemon and Lavender


What’s your favourite smell? For many Londoners, nothing could be more delightful than the aroma of freshly baked bread. A recent survey featured on the Daily Mail also identified the distinct smells of bacon, coffee, and freshly washed clothes as amongst people’s favourites. Finally, natural scents such as freshly cut grass and flowers round up the top ten. If you’re a fan of natural scents, you can infuse your home with such fragrances by decorating with flowers. You may want to grow your own flowers right in your backyard and let the scent of delicate blooms waft through the air, or harvest the blossoms to fully enjoy their beauty and sweet smell inside your home. A more convenient way to get that fresh scent in your home is to purchase a home fragrance diffuser.

Home Fragrance Diffusers: Scents for Every Area



Whether you are fond of entertaining at home or simply prefer a clean and tranquil atmosphere, you no doubt want to keep every room smelling as lovely possible. Scent, after all, adds to room ambiance and helps you achieve a positive mood

Reed diffusers provide a pleasant aromatic experience and a flameless way to enhance the air in any room. Simply find a high-traffic area, place the rattan reeds into the bottle as instructed, and let the oil-soaked reeds gently suffuse the air with natural scents that linger for hours. Invert the reeds as soon as the scent fades.

Reed diffusers have become indispensable at many homes, hotels, restaurants, and business establishments. All that’s left, really, is to find the right fragrance for each room.

Your Lounge or Living Room

Floral scents like fresh cut roses or amber and lavender are pleasant and easily discernible but gentle on the nose, making them perfect for areas where you receive visitors. 

Dining Areas

Scents that are related to food, such as fruity fragrances, will not compete with the enticing food aromas already present in the dining room. Lemon basil and mandarin or black pomegranate fragrances are good options. 

The Bedroom

You can’t go wrong with lavender, which promotes rest and relaxation. Place your diffuser a good distance away from your bed, though, to keep the scent from overwhelming your sense of smell.

The Science of Home Fragrance



Scents such as pumpkin pie, cinnamon buns, licorice, and linen are among the fragrances that elicit potent emotional and physiological reactions in humans. All over the world, certain fragrances have even been attributed to many things: lavender is often heralded as a sleep aid, which helps calm the nerves; peppermint has been claimed to help reduce stress, and cinnamon relieves fatigue. Such is the supposed effect of scents that home interiors are increasingly being laced with them. 

However, two questions linger in connection: how and why? Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov once said that “nothing revives the past so completely as a smell which was once associated with it”. Psychologist Rachel Herz from Brown University agrees, claiming that smell is distinct from other senses since it is connected directly to the olfactory cortex—the portion of the brain responsible  for emotions and memory.  

In addition, the olfactory cortex is also directly linked to the limbic system, which is considered as the ‘seat of emotion’. The cortex receives smell sensations and facilitates ‘cognitive recognition,’ only after the deepest parts of the brain have been stimulated. This is how we’re able to tell specific scents from others and associate such a smell with an emotional response. 

So if you’re looking to deodorize your home, you have a wide array of choices at your fingertips: reed diffusers, scented candles, and the like. Just be sure to adorn your home with smells that evoke positive feelings for optimal effect.
