The Joy of Scenting

While most of us may not attribute the word “joy” to the topic of diffusers, it actually is an appropriate word. Scenting is such a powerful way we can elevate the space we’re in. A beautiful aroma gives your personal space more than just a good smell. It gives it a certain vibe that’s felt by everyone in the room. 

That certain vibe, whether it’s luxurious, energetic, or calming, affects our mood. So, yes - scenting can improve our moods and give our days a splash of joy. With so many types of diffusers available, it can be tricky to decide what’s right for you.

Today we’ll be comparing reed diffusers and electric diffusers to help you pick the best option to meet your scenting needs. 

Reed Diffusers: What They Are and Their Benefits

A reed diffuser is a glass bottle with a narrow neck that contains fragrance oil. Wooden sticks or rattan reeds are placed into the bottle and absorb the liquid, bringing its aroma into their upper section and then imparting the scent into the air.

Reed diffusers have no on/off button, so their scent is constantly emanating from the reeds. They’re mainly used in smaller, more intimate spaces like a bathroom, small bedroom, or on a desktop or table. 

While their scent release is consistent, you may or may not be able to smell it, depending on the size of the room. Reed diffusers are best used in very small spaces that contain the fragrance within a small parameter. 

Another benefit of reed diffusers is that they’re not electric, so you can leave your home or office without concerns of it malfunctioning.

However, being that their scent release is consistent, if you’re not home or using that space where your reed diffuser is, you won’t enjoy its beautiful scent. 

Electric Scent Diffusers: Pros and Cons

When considering scenting a larger space such as a bedroom, living room, or your entire home, electric scent diffusers are perfect for accomplishing this goal. 

The main reason electric fragrance diffusers work for larger spaces is their adjustable intensity setting. A higher setting will cause more fragrance oil to be released, leading to the scent being distributed further throughout the space. The downside to this may be that if the setting is too high, the scent can be overpowering and therefore unpleasant to be around.

This issue is easily remedied through a short initiation period after you have first begun to use your electric diffuser. Within a few minutes, you will quickly realize which setting works best to achieve the perfect balance of aroma in your space. 

Other features that make electric diffusers enticing are their automatic shut-off and timer settings. When you know you’ll be away from your diffuser for an extended and predictable period of time, you can simply set the timer on your electric diffuser. That way it will turn off when you’re not home, conserving its beautiful fragrance oil so you can enjoy it for a longer length of time.
