Home fragrance can furnish any room with an instant uplift of sweet-smelling woods or floral scents. Admittedly, people who use fragrance oils and essential oils understand that there are a variety of options. Lemongrass, sweet orange, eucalyptus, tea tree, peppermint, lemon, and lavender are the most common oils used in aromatherapy diffusers. Below are the common types of home fragrance systems that you can consider using at your home.
Electric diffusers
This home fragrance system has a similar look to a teacup saucer with some indentation at the middle to offer you room to place the oil. The electric diffuser uses electricity to heat up, warms the oil, and diffuses the scent around your room. However, the size of your room and device will dedicate how far the scent can spread. In this case, the scent will last long, provided it continues to evaporate. When the scent dissipates, you are expected to add more oil to the basin.
You can easily clean this kind of oil diffuser. To do that, you can use mild soap, warm water, and a soft piece of cloth to wipe the basin and any residues.
Reed diffusers
In this home fragrance system, reeds or wooden sticks are placed in an essential or fragrance oil bottle. After that, the oil travels from the bottom up through the reed, releasing the scent into the surrounding environment. The reed diffuser can last long, provided your bottle has the fragrance oil. Most importantly, these oil diffusers do not produce mist which is usually associated with other diffusers. They also do not use water, electricity, or heat.
These diffusers need limited maintenance. When it comes to maintenance, you might want to use different types of reeds when changing bottles or scents. Further, when you use the same bottle for varied oils, you might want to clean the bottles using warm water and mild dish soap.
Although you can use reed diffusers in any room, they are generally ideal for small spaces since they do not have an agent that can ensure the scent spreads faster. In other words, there is no fan to spread the aroma or is not released into the air, meaning the diffuser might distribute the scent unevenly.
Candle diffusers
They are similar to electric heat diffusers, but they use a candle as heat instead of electricity. In this case, the flame from the candle heats the oil before it diffuses the scent into your room. The best home fragrance systems come in various sizes and designs, meaning you can get one that appeals to your decorating style will act as décor.
Although these diffusers do not use electricity or batteries, you should change the candle after it burns out and uses an unscented candle to avoid having conflicting scents. Most of the diffusers which use candles will work provided the candle is burning. That is why you need to monitor the candle and replace it when necessary. The longevity of the scent depends on the amount of fragrance oil you use
Water diffusers
It is one of the most famous and affordable diffusers. They contain a basin in which you fill water and the oils that you prefer. After that, ultrasonic waves diffuse the oil and water into the room with a broad dispersal range. That means these devices might be suitable for large rooms, depending on their size. These diffusers produce mist, and you can use them as a humidifier. When the basin is empty, these fragrance systems will automatically shut off.
Wax melts
Warmers and wax melts provide a wick-free alternative to candle diffusers. When you place them over flameless sources of heat, fragrance pods or cubes of wax dissolve, releasing scent. In this case, the melted wax can occupy your entire room with fragrance within a few minutes. However, warmers need elbow grease since you are expected to clean the container before replacing the fragrance.
