How to choose your home fragrance?
In a home, indoor fragrance matters a great deal. It creates an atmosphere, brings a soft ambiance, and helps you feel good. But how do you choose the right home fragrance? Scented candles, incense sticks, fragrance diffusers—which is the best option? TdeM tells you more.
Choosing scents based on the room
When you walk into a home, the first thing you notice is the indoor fragrance. Just like tastes and colors, it is personal. However, you may not know this, but choosing your home fragrance also depends on the room.
In a hallway or entryway, green, invigorating, fresh, or fruity scents are preferred. In living spaces such as the living room, it is better to choose relaxing scents with white flowers (lily of the valley, jasmine, or lilies). In the bedroom, it is essential to go for orange blossom or lavender, which help improve sleep quality. Finally, in a room where you study or work, such as an office or library, fragrances should be softer. Sandalwood, amber, or musk are then chosen..
The support used to diffuse the fragrance
Beyond the scents, the support used to diffuse the fragrance is also essential. Scented candles, fragrance diffusers, incense sticks—each has its own characteristics.
Scented candles
Offering a diffusion time of up to 15 to 80 hours, scented candles are the preferred option for fragrance diffusion. As decorative objects, they offer a truly sensory experience. Make sure the composition remains natural, as is the case with TDM's scented candle. Notes of lemon zest, cardamom bursts, full-bodied Arabica coffee, and black tea. Unlike synthetic fragrances, candles with natural scents help avoid headaches.
Reed fragrance diffusers
The reed fragrance diffusers allow the fragrance to diffuse throughout the entire room, continuously. Made up of a container holding an alcohol-based fragrance and reeds that absorb it to release it, these diffusers can scent every room.
Dried flowers.
Many people use dried flowers for their home fragrance. While they make lovely decorations, they lose their scent very quickly. In fact, unless you regularly pour essential oils over them, your home fragrance will quickly disappear. Moreover, dried flowers tend to turn into dust traps.
Incense sticks
Incense sticks are undoubtedly the home fragrance option that offers the widest range of scents: floral, citrus, woody, exotic, spicy. However, the diffusion remains very short-lived. Once the stick has burned down, your home fragrance no longer diffuses.
Choosing the right home fragrance therefore depends both on the scent and on the support used. So, among all the options, the one that lets you enjoy your home fragrance for the longest time is the scented candle.
