Candles and Reed Diffusers - What’s the Difference?
Scent adds that extra something special to a room. Whether you’re making a statement at a stylish dinner party, or curating a quiet moment of retreat after a long and busy week, you can personalise your home’s aroma with both candles and reed diffusers.
We’re here to talk you through the key differences of candles and reed diffusers, so you can make the right choice for each room in your home.
Reed Diffusers - Slow and Steady
Spreading a subtle aroma evenly around the room using scented oils and absorbent reed sticks with no flame, reed diffusers are safe for kids and pets. Just pop it on a shelf or your mantlepiece, and let it do all the work.
Diffusers usually last around six months, meaning you can enjoy a steady release of your favourite scent that you can enjoy every time you walk in.
Plus, your diffuser doubles as an elegant-looking ornament that will blend in effortlessly with your home décor. By elevating your space quietly and unobtrusively, you and your guests will be greeted with a refreshing and welcoming whiff that makes a wonderful first impression - while looking beautiful at the same time.
Keep in mind that if your room is larger, the aroma won’t be as noticeable - so if you want to make more of an impact with your scent, consider using two reed diffusers, or elevating the scent with a candle.
Take a moment to explore the House of Cassidy Reed Diffuser collection, featuring cosy Timeless Vanilla and sensual Nuit de Reve - the latest additions, newly released for Valentine’s day.
Because we care about your wellbeing and giving back to the planet, all our reed diffusers are made with organic ingredients and natural oils.
Candles - Pick your Moment
With a softly flickering flame, a scented candle prefers to be the centre of attention. Using heat to spread its aroma, candles are perfect for when you want a stronger burst of fragrance for a shorter length of time - whether you’re setting the scene for a dinner with friends, a romantic date night, or a relaxing bubble bath with a book and a glass of something delicious.
There’s nothing more magical than the gentle flicker of a small flame, to add to a cosy and intimate setting, or quiet your senses as you carve out a quiet and peaceful moment just for you.
House of Cassidy uses premium organic soy wax. As well as being better for your health and being free of pollutants, soy wax throws the scent more intensely, and evenly throughout the room, enveloping your senses, whether you want to focus, relax, or connect.
