There are many benefits of reed diffusers over other means of adding a wonderful fragrance to your home and many people believe that there is no better way to scent your living space than a reed diffuser. As diffusers become increasingly popular as a means of not only offering a home a wonderful fragrance, but oriental-looking home accents as well, an increasing number of candle companies offer reed and electric diffusers as part of their spectrum.

So why exactly are so many people considering reed diffusers over the easier to use electric oil diffusers, or even scented candles? In fact, the scented candle business is not falling but is increasing, and with it so are the 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 (the reeds will last a long time before they lock up) and only if you allow them to dry. Maybe that needs a little explanation, so this is how the different types of home fragrances work.

Scented Sprays

Scented sprays are often used where odors are localized, such as in toilets and where there are pets. A quick spray generally masks the odor, although some can chemically react with the odor-creating chemicals and neutralize them. However, some of these sprays smell almost as bad as the original. They are short-lived and generally do not offer the same delicate fragrances as below.

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 continuously emitting fragrant oil vapor, so that the rooms in which they are used smell good for more than the short period of activity of a scented spray.

Another benefit of scented candles is that they are available in a wide range of shapes, colors, and perfumes, and many of them are similar to mini works of art. People use scented candles in their homes as others would use figurines, to visually decorate the room 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 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 live flame that heats the essential oil bound in the wax, an electric current heats a resistance, as in an electric fire, that 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 want, although you can also get diffusers that have a plug directly attached so that the diffuser plugs directly into the socket.

Reed diffusers

Reed diffusers use no energy, except perhaps the natural warmth of your room. The essential oil is poured into a bottle or jar, often beautifully designed and crafted just for this purpose, and several reeds are placed in the bottle. Reed diffusers use suitable reeds like rattan reeds, with a fluffy interior that absorbs oil. Many try the same with bamboo canes or twigs, but it does not work because the cane must contain capillaries that absorb the oil, which itself is a light essential oil that can be extracted from the canes by capillary action and then evaporated at room temperature in its home.

The benefits of reed diffusers

The benefits of reed diffusers over other types of diffusers are that they do not need electricity and last longer than candles. There is no problem with open flames 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 run continuously without the danger of flame or electricity.

For those who use them, the benefits of reed diffusers far outweigh the disadvantages they may offer, although one is hard to think of. They’re 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 bring to your home is limited only by the essential oils that nature can provide.
