Fragrance Sticks

It doesn’t need to be Christmas or winter to consider purchasing fragrance sticks, also known as reed diffusers. In the days when candles and spray can air fresheners were the go-to choices for creating a scented room, the past few years have seen the introduction of fragrance sticks.

This article is part of a fragrance blog I built myself — I’ll explain how at the end if you’re curious.

A similar product from a few years ago was the incense burner sticks. While these were great for those who didn’t mind the room filling with smoke and had a suitable tray to catch the burnt ashes, they could be messy without the correct tray.

I found that the trays available for incense sticks were often not wide enough to catch all the ash that fell. It’s not always an ideal choice for those with allergies to strong scents, as some scents can be overpowering, especially in smaller rooms.

While incense sticks quickly burst with fragrance, they usually burn for about an hour, meaning you might use several to create a pleasant ambience for an evening with friends.

In contrast, fragrance sticks sit in scented oil without being lit, making them a much safer option and a forward-thinking way to introduce a fresh, brand-new vibe into your home.

These consist of a glass container that holds the oil and around 4-8 sticks, depending on the size purchased. These sticks are made of porous wood, allowing the fragrance to soak in and diffuse in the air. They can be placed anywhere in the home and left without worry of a naked flame or ashes dropping off the end of the stick.

The fragrance sticks typically last much longer than incense sticks, sometimes for weeks or even months, depending on the type you purchase and the scent’s strength. There’s also no added worry that you’ve left the house for work and a candle or incense stick is still burning away.

During Christmas time, the risk of house fires increases due to candles being lit and left unattended. Save the Christmas candles when everyone is home, enjoying the festive season.

Using a reed diffuser is a great alternative when you like a consistent scent in every room that doesn’t require any safety precautions. Many come in elegant bottles that add a cosy touch to any home. Since they are a safer option than candles or incense burners, they can be placed anywhere in the home.

Why Buy More Than One?

Want a different fragrance in every room? There’s no reason why you can’t have a unique scent for each room in your home. With a delicate fragrance that diffuses gently, there’s no worry that all the scents will mingle together and produce a mixed concoction.

Tips For Your Fragrance Sticks

■ Number One: When using fragrance sticks, ensure that the sticks are not resting on your wallpaper or any material. The oil can stain anything it comes into contact with, so keep it away from curtains or wallpaper.

■ Number Two: To refresh the fragrance in the room, turn the sticks upside down once a week. Doing this helps the oil diffuse a fresh burst of scent.

■ Number Three: Extend the life of your room fragrance by using new, unscented sticks periodically.
