How to use a scented diffuser in your home

Scented diffusers have been used for centuries to infuse a room with fragrance and create a relaxing atmosphere. In this blog, we’ll explore the history of scented diffusers, and how you can use them to enhance your home décor.

History of scented diffusers

The use of scented diffusers dates back to ancient civilizations, where they were used to purify the air and ward off unpleasant odors. Historicly, scented diffusers were made from bamboo, and were used to diffuse essential oils into the air. Over time, scented diffusers evolved and became more decorative, with many different types of diffusers being used in different cultures around the world.

Types of scented diffusers

Today, there are many different types of scented diffusers available, including reed diffusers and electric diffusers. At The Northern Wood Co, we offer reed diffusers which use natural, fibre reeds to diffuse fragrance into the air. Made with a vegan diffuser base and premium fragrance oils, our diffuser slowly releases its scent over 3–4 months.

How to use scented diffusers

  1. Insert the supplied reeds into the bottle and fan them out. Place the diffuser in your desired space.

  2. Flip the reeds within the first 48 hours to help the fragrance absorb and disperse more quickly.

  3. Done. It’s that simple.

Safety Precautions:

Do not light the reeds, keep out of reach of children and pets and wash hands thoroughly after flipping the reeds.

Choosing the right scent

When choosing a scent for your diffuser, consider the mood you want to create in your home. For example, English Pear & Freesia is a relaxing and calming scent, while Lemongrass & Ginger is uplifting and energizing.

Diffuser Maintenance

To maintain your scented diffuser, we recommend flipping the reed every couple of weeks. The scent throw may vary depending on the size and warmth of your room. You can also top up your diffusers with our Diffuser Refills.

In conclusion, scented diffusers are a wonderful way to infuse your home with fragrance, and have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. So why not try one today, and discover the many benefits of scented diffusers for yourself!
