Oh, the holidays€¦ such a wondrous, precious and oh so stressful time of year. With all of the entertaining that takes place during this festive season, homes must look, feel and, yes, smell their best. Scent is the first thing people notice when they walk into your home and something they remember the longest.
With company coming over, there are many things to keep in mind when it comes to fragrancing your home, and there are also many options available. The most obvious is candles. They are beautiful, they add ambiance like nothing else can, and they help make the holidays complete. If you are looking for the most fragrance possible from a candle, always choose the candle in a container over a pillar. Candles that are poured into a container, such as a glass jar, can hold much more fragrance oil than a pillar. The candle melts in the container and forms a pool of wax to scent your home. A pillar, on the other hand, needs to retain its shape while burning. Fragrance is liquid, so a pillar just can't hold as much.
Another option for fragrance is an essential oil diffuser. A diffuser is a jar filled with fragrance oil with reeds soaking in the oil and sticking out the top of the jar. There are many nice advantages to a diffuser. First, you don't have to light it, keep an eye on it or blow it out. Second, it provides a constant fragrance so that every time you walk into the room it smells fantastic. No wait time on these. All you have to do is flip the reeds every day or few days to freshen the scent. You can flip all of the reeds for a more intense fragrance or for a larger space, or flip one or two of the reeds for a smaller space or softer fragrance. The more reeds you flip the more often, the quicker your oil will evaporate.
A third option for home fragrance is a Lampe Berger. Lampe Berger removes odors while fragrancing and killing airborne bacteria. This is a fantastic option for people that have dogs, smoke cigars or cigarettes, have musty house odors, or like to cook fish or other strong foods. Using a Lampe Berger lamp is very easy and you only have to light it for 3 minutes. When the lamp is working, there is no smoke or flame and it begins to fragrance immediately. Usually within 10 minutes all odors are removed and in about 20 minutes there is enough fragrance for most people. There are over 100 different lamps and 40 different fragrance oils to choose from, including many holiday favorites such as Orange Cinnamon and Winterwood.
Whether you choose candles, diffusers or a Lampe Berger, be sure to envelop yourself in holiday fragrances. There is no other season like this, so savor every sensation, including scent. After your guests have left, or even if you are not expecting company, be sure to take time to sit back, relax, light a candle, and enjoy all of the fragrances the holidays have to offer. They will be ingrained in your memory for years to come€¦
