When choosing a home fragrance system for your house, the choices can really be overwhelming. It does seem like scented candles and reed diffusers are the most popular and both have champions who would say that their choice is the best. But which really is the best home fragrance – scented candles or reed diffusers? In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the pro’s and con’s to each so that you can make an informed decision to meet your needs.
Scented candle pros
The fragrance can pervade the room easily.
Many people find the flame and smell of the fire and scent to be comforting.
People love the ambiance associated with scented candles.
They give off fragrance, light, and heat.
Scented candles cons
Scented candles are dangerous if left with kids, pets, or unattended.
There’s no way to refill a scented candle.
Reed diffuser pros
There is a great focus on aromatherapy for many reed diffuser brands. This means that if you want to relax, get rid of a headache, etc., you can seek a homeopathic, natural approach through aromatherapy reed diffusers.
They are safe, so long as you don’t tip over the bottle of essential oils.
They are easy to use – no matches or need to stay in the room with it. Whenever the fragrance seems to be diminishing, just flip the reeds over or refill the jar.
Reed diffusers can be a modern way to decorate your home.
They are much safer than scented candles.
They operate day and night.
Reed diffuser cons
They have less of an ambiance than scented candles have.
Cheap sets have synthetic oils, which don’t have any of the health benefits, or wooden sticks instead of reeds, which do a poor job of diffusing the fragrance.
