Candles vs diffusers

Should you use a candle or a diffuser to throw a scent across your home?

• Candles throw scent by evaporating their scented wax into the air - how far the scent goes and how strong it is will depend on how well the candle has been made. Candles also offer light and a cosy, flickering warmth thanks to their flame. Candles won't be able to change the aroma of very large spaces, and their flame can pose a hazard if not cared for correctly. Pillar candles should be burned in a candle holder to prevent their wax from spilling onto your furniture.
• Fragrance diffusers are designed specially to throw a scent across a large area and can do so in a variety of different ways such as up through reeds, via ultrasonic diffusion, via evaporation or using heat. They are more effective at scenting a room than candles, but require a source of power and can be tricky to use and clean.

Home fragrance FAQs

What is home fragrance?

Home fragrance refers to the different ways you can spread scents through your home. Oils, candles and misters are all different ways fragrance can be spread through your space.

What is the best home fragrance system?

If you purely want to change the way a room smells, then look to a luxury home fragrance diffuser - they are designed to spread their aroma through space and will work for a long time. Candles are a good choice when you want to set a particular mood - one that not only requires scent, but light and warmth as well.

What is the best type of diffuser?

If you want a home fragrance diffuser you can set up and forget about, try a reed diffuser. They don't require a source of power or much maintenance once they get going - simply swap the reeds around and refresh the oil when you notice the aroma has faded. Otherwise, ultrasonic diffusers use vibrations to disperse the scent, rather than heat or chemicals, which keeps the essential oil smelling its best and is also a safe option.
