Spraying home fragrance around the house is part of the ritual that more and more people adopt when cleaning. And with good reason: after airing and cleaning the home, perfume is the final touch that freshens it up.
Home fragrance can also be used to combat certain persistent unpleasant smells, such as cold tobacco. In this context, there are a number of solutions you can adopt to perfume your living spaces, including home fragrance sprays, scented candles and home fragrance diffusers.
How to use them and what to choose
Follow our instructions.
Home fragrance sprays
Room spray is a product designed to be sprayed inside a room to eliminate unpleasant smells. It should be used on an occasional basis to freshen up the room and instantly perfume it after a few sprays. This product is therefore particularly useful for eliminating persistent unpleasant smells such as: the smell of cooking emanating from the kitchen, the smell of cold tobacco, mustiness, etc.
If you opt for this product, be sure to choose one formulated with natural essences and that eliminates smells without masking them, like Impec Raspberry & Mandarin Home Fragrance, for example, which meets all these criteria.
With so many fragrances on the market, all you need to do is choose a fragrance that matches the ambience of your home: fruity scents, for example, are particularly suited to the living room and dining room, while marine fragrances are more suited to the bathroom. In the bedroom, opt for fresh, relaxing scents like mint or ravintsara.
Be careful not to spray directly onto textiles if there is no indication to this effect. Likewise, always spray towards the ceiling to diffuse the fragrance properly.
Finally, we strongly recommend that you always air the room thoroughly before diffusing the fragrance. By opening your windows for at least 15 minutes a day, you’ll be sure to breathe healthy air inside your home.
The scented candle
Scented candles are also an effective solution for scenting the interior of a room. It has the advantage of subtly blending light and fragrance, creating a cocooning atmosphere in the home.
You’ll find all kinds of scented candles on the market, including vegetable wax candles, which are made from plants such as soy, rice and rapeseed. It burns cleanly, producing no soot, and burns quickly. Vegetable wax candles are less scented, however, so their fragrance is diffused in the air.
Those who like heady scents will prefer mineral wax candles, which are made from edible waxes, and offer better scent diffusion.
When choosing a scented candle, make sure it has a cotton stem to avoid toxic fumes.
In fact, it’s forbidden to light several scented candles in a room at the same time, as the smoke may pollute the indoor air and produce soot, which is bound to stain the walls or ceiling.
Ultimately, the scented candle is for those who want a light, diffused fragrance inside the home. To effectively eliminate smells, it’s best to choose a home fragrance spray.
Home fragrance and essential oil diffuser
The home fragrance diffuser is a device for continuously perfuming the inside of the home.
It can take the form of a diffuser bouquet made up of long wooden or polymer stick stems, or cotton or ceramic capillary flowers. The stems and petals are immersed in a mixture contained in a narrow-necked bottle, automatically diffusing the fragrance throughout the room.
The diffuser bouquet is a discreet, decorative solution with which to perfume the room. It’s also economical, as you can add fragrance as much as you want when the bottle is empty. It is generally formulated with perfume and neutral solvent to ensure solubility and evaporation.
Home fragrance diffusers can also take the form of electric or battery-powered devices, which diffuse fragrance dry, by misting with water or by nebulization.
This solution is particularly suitable for diffusing essential oils so that you can enjoy both their scents and the benefits of the plant extracts they contain.
