There are many benefits of reed diffusers over other means of adding wonderful fragrance to your home and many people believe that there is no better way to scent their living space than a reed diffuser. As diffusers become increasingly popular as a means of not only providing a home with wonderful fragrance, but also oriental-looking home accents, an increasing number of candle companies are offering reed and electric diffusers as part of its range.
So why are so many people considering reed diffusers over the more user-friendly electric oil diffusers, or even scented candles? In fact, the scented candle business isn’t going down, it’s on the rise, and with it so are sales of reed diffusers. The reason could be that people are turning to reeds instead of electrically heated equivalents that cost more money as energy costs rise.
With a reed diffuser, all you need are the reeds, a jar or container, and the fragrant oil; reeds will last a long time before they get blocked, and only if you allow them to dry out. Maybe that needs a little explanation, so here’s how the various types of home fragrances work.
scented sprays
Scented sprays are often used where bad odors are localized, like in bathrooms and where you have pets. A quick spray usually masks the odor, although some can chemically react with odor-creating chemicals and neutralize them. However, some of these sprays smell almost as bad as the original smell! They are short-lived and generally do not offer the same delicate fragrances as the following.
scented candles
Scented candles have essential oils mixed with the wax, so when the wax burns, the essential oils are released. Candles offer the benefits of continuous emission of fragrant oil mist so that rooms in which they are used will smell good for longer than the brief period during which a scented spray is active.
Another benefit of scented candles is that they are available in a wide range of shapes, colors and scents, and many of them are like mini works of art. People use scented candles in their homes like others would use figurines: to decorate the room visually and to provide you with a range of beautiful-smelling fragrances that can be changed to suit your mood.
Electric diffusers
Diffusers work through heat by evaporating essential oils and releasing them into your room. The term ‘essential’ in relation to oils indicates those that offer pleasant fragrances, such as rose, lavender, sandalwood, musk, and many, many others. In essence, they work in the same way as candles, only instead of a living flame heating the essential oil bound to the wax, an electric current heats a resistance, like in an electric fire, which reaches a temperature sufficient to evaporate. . the oil, thus releasing its fragrant vapor.
During operation, they are plugged into a power outlet. The ones with a cord can be placed in your room anywhere you like, although you can also get diffusers that have a plug connected directly to it so that the diffuser is plugged directly into the socket.
reed diffusers
Reed Diffusers use no energy, except perhaps the natural heat of your room. The essential oil is poured into a bottle or jar, often beautifully designed and crafted just for this purpose, and various reeds are placed in the bottle. Reed diffusers use proper reeds like rattan reeds, with a spongy interior that absorbs oil. Many try the same thing with bamboo canes or twigs, but it doesn’t work because the cane must contain capillaries that suck up the oil, which itself is a light essential oil that can be drawn from the canes by capillary action and then evaporated at room temperature in your home.
The benefits of reed diffusers
The benefits of reed diffusers over other types of diffusers is that they do not require electricity and last longer than candles. Live flames are no problem when you have small children and pets in your home, and they look much better than their electric counterparts. You can leave them overnight and they will work continuously with no danger of flame or electricity.
For those who use them, the benefits of reed diffusers far outweigh any drawbacks they may offer, though it’s hard to think of one. They are inexpensive, they look fabulous and modern and the fragrance they bring to your home is simply magnificent. Not only that, but the range of perfumes that reed diffusers can provide to your home is limited only by the essential oils that nature can provide.
