When you buy a home fragrance, you want it to last. Yet the stated duration does not mean the same thing from one product to another. Here is how to make sense of it. To compare safety and upkeep too, read candle or diffuser: how to choose your home fragrance.
Candles: a scent that stops when the flame goes out
A candle is measured in hours of burning. It only releases fragrance while it burns: as soon as it is out, the scent fades. To scent a room every day, you have to light it often, and always under supervision.
Reed diffusers: a few weeks, gradually fading
A reed diffuser scents continuously, but its intensity drops as the liquid evaporates. You need to flip the reeds regularly to revive the scent.
Electric diffusers: as long as they are filled and plugged in
An electric diffuser scents as long as it contains liquid and is switched on. Its lifespan therefore depends on your settings and how often you refill it.
30 days of fragrance, without a second thought
Scented gel diffuses continuously, day and night, with no flame and no electricity.
Scented gel: 30 days of continuous diffusion
The Favaune scented gel releases its fragrance continuously, day and night, for up to 30 days. With more than 20% fragrance, compared with 5 to 7% for a candle, it keeps a steady scent from the first day to the last, with nothing to light, plug in or flip.
3 tips to make your fragrance last
- Keep it away from direct sunlight and radiators: heat speeds up evaporation.
- Choose a spot where people pass by: moving air helps the fragrance spread throughout the room.
- Think about the size of the room: one tin per living space for an even atmosphere.
