Thymes Frasier Fir, The Perfect Holiday Fragrance

by

If an essential part of the Christmas Holidays is the wonderful scent of a fresh natural pine tree in your home you might have been missing out if you an artificial tree or live in a smaller home where a big fresh cut Christmas tree just isn’t practical. But there is great news, you can have that fresh zingy yet subtle fragrance that makes your home smell of the Christmases you remember with the beautiful Frasier Fir fragranced reed diffuser pictured below!

Thymes Frasier Fir Reed Diffuser is brilliant, long lasting, economical and getting rave reviews! It captures the fresh, clean scent of newly cut pine trees perfectly and fills your home with a gentle fragrance that will make your guests do a ‘double take’ if you have an artificial tree as they will be certain that you have a fresh pine tree in your living room!

This Thymes product is one of the top selling reed diffusers on Amazon.com, with an economical refill bottle of oil available to top up your diffuser if needed, this fragrance is popular throughout the winter, not just in the Holiday. Some thrifty reviewers have said that they purchased the refill to use with their own reeds and container. I think this is a great idea if you have a special Christmas vase or vessel that you would like to display by using it as the base for your diffuser.

If you want to give one as a gift, there is a version with a pinecone shaped base in which to place your rattan diffuser sticks. It comes in a pretty gift box too!

For those of us who have an artificial tree that we dig out of the loft each year because we want to be eco-friendly and not cut down more fresh pine trees, the Frasier Fir Diffuser is a great way to have the best of both worlds.

The scent of fresh pine can give some people a headache. However, I read a review on Amazon where a couple who avoided all fragranced oils and scented candles because of sensitivities to these products, stated that this was not the case with this particular oil.

Essenza Reed Diffusers

by

Essenza reed diffusers are now being replaced by ESSENZA ultrasonic fragrance diffusers – designed to fragrance your home in a natural, sweet way, without being too over-powering.

The newest addition to the range is a diffuser with a changing LED light. This produces a very fine mist of aromatherapy essential oil in your chosen fragrance. I love the look of this product, it is very stylish with a combination of wood and frosted glass.

This comes in either Rosemary Mint or French Lavender fragrances – or add your own choice of essential oil

There are fourteen different colours and the option to choose between constant on or a rotating light pattern. This makes it suitable for ‘mood lighting‘ as well as providing a mood-enhancing aromatherapy fragrance.

You can choose a continuous stream of the fragrance mist or the intermittent option.

There is no heat with the LED technology used, so the oil will not degrade.

The unit is simplicity itself to operate. All you need to do is to fill the internal water reservoir to the level indicated, add three to five drops of your chosen oil and then replace the plastic cover. The final thing to do is to replace the outer glass sleeve and turn the unit on. Use the buttons to choose which lighting and fragrance dispensing options you want.

The unit comes with all you need to get started, including power supply, a measuring cup and 15 ml of the oil. It operates quietly and unobtrusively and there is an automatic shut-off feature when the water reservoir gets low.

My top tips would be:

1. Use cooled boiled water or purified water if you live in a ‘hard’ water area to reduce any risk of mineral build-up within the unit.

2. You do not have to use the same fragrance each time. Buying individual fragrance oils makes this a very versatile way to scent your home with a fragrance to suit your mood (choose relaxing, calming, enervating – and so on) or to suit the season. With no need to replace diffuser reeds when you decide to change the fragrance, this also makes the Essenza Ultrasonic Diffuser an economical option.

3. You can use fragrance oils from another manufacturer in this unit.

4. Coordinate the fragrance from your diffuser with one of the range of hand soaps from Essenza – for example, the diffuser, pictured above, comes with Rosemary Mint oil and pictured below, is the matching Rosemary Mint soap. There are several other options including Mango Agave and French Lavender.

Many people have tried scented candles, fragranced plug ins and reed diffusers to create a sweeter smell around the home, before turning to Essenza ultrasonic diffusers to find exactly what they have been looking for. There are many reasons that these provide the ideal solution.

For starters, there is no risk of smoke or fire, as there is with candles. If you have small children or pets, you might be wary about having open flames around the place, even if the scent is wonderful.

Plug ins and gel fragrance kits are both easy, practical options, but many people complain that they can smell artificial, or that they don’t last as long as they should. The same issues occur with aerosol sprays, along with the concern that they are not an environmentally friendly choice.

You have none of these problems with ultrasonic diffusers as they are:

  • Safe
  • Easy to use
  • Long lasting
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Completely alcohol free
  • Create a natural, sweet scent

As well as using them to improve the ambiance in your own home, you should consider them as attractive gift for others. Essenza Ultrasonic diffusers make an elegant display and a very acceptable gift for Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Christmas gifts or just a way of saying a special ‘thank you’.

K Hall Designs Reed Diffusers

by

Kelley Hall-Barr, together with her husband, John Barr are the successful partnership behind K. Hall Designs. All their aromatic products use top quality natural ingredients and essential oils. In addition to the deliciously fragranced reed diffusers that we are reviewing here, their range includes products for the bath and body as well as for the home.

Such is the quality of the products from K. Hall Designs that they are available nationwide and have been lauded in many publications, not just for the quality of the products themselves, but for their aesthetic appeal with elegant, simplicity of design and packaging. Even if you are not able to get to one of the trendy boutiques or top retailers who stock Kelley’s designs in-store, you are able to choose from a wide selection available online.

Reed diffusers are not a new addition to the K. Hall offering. In fact, they have been making them for more than ten years. One thing I particularly like about these products is that the blend of essential and fragrance oils is cosmetic grade that you can actually safely apply as a body scent should you wish to do so! The reeds are especially made for the company and are thicker, enabling greater saturation and better, more rapid dispersal of the fragrance.

I also like the fact that each product is dispatched with the fragrance oil safely sealed inside a shatterproof bottle that is amber-colored to protect the contents from light until you are ready to use it. Assembly is simple, just place the fragrance oil into the apothecary bottle made of glass (supplied) and immerse the reeds. The packaging is very well designed for transportation and the contents are packed into a sturdy tube for shipping.

There are currently lot of different K Hall Design diffusers to choose from so there is sure to be one that appeals to you and your family. This is another thing that I like about the range, many of the fragrances are cleverly designed to appeal to men and women, young and old and really make a room smell wonderful.

The History of Agraria Reed Diffusers

Agraria’s history of providing wonderful fragrances dates back to the 1970s when Henri Bendel’s director, a lady named Geraldine Stutz invited Stanford Stevenson and Maurice Gibson who were the founders of Agraria, to showcase their fragrances at Bendel’s shop called “Scentiments”. She made this decision after being given a box of pot pourri in the bitter orange fragrance – the rest, as they say, is history with what the New York Times described as a ‘woodsy blend’ being bought to grace the living rooms of Park Avenue!

Agraria is now both the largest and the oldest of America’s luxury home fragrance companies and their products can be found in the finest hotels and bought in the best shops all over the world.
