We tell you about the most popular ways to givehome aroma and help decide what your home will smell like in the fall-winter season 2016 We increasingly want to spend our free time at home, with our family. Home fragrances, which modern manufacturers offer in the form of diffusers, candles, aroma lamps, and sachets, will help make the atmosphere even more pleasant. We found out the features of each option, and at the same time learned which smells are most suitable for the fall-winter period. Diffusers: a good old classic It looks like this: reed sticks, usually 5 to 10 pieces, are immersed in a small vessel with aromatic oil. Having a porous structure, the reed quickly soaks in, and the oil, evenly evaporating from its surface, fills the room with aroma. Heating is not required, so a diffuser can be considered the safest way to give your home a noticeable aroma. And some diffuser bottles have a bright, memorable design and look like real art objects, for example, like those of the American brand Ralph Lauren or the French Yves Delorme. Scented candles:It is important not to make a mistake with the choice 95% of modern candles are made of paraffin, which can release harmful substances into the air when burning for a long time. Therefore, if you care about your health, buy candles that are made of mineral wax that meets European and American quality standards, or from vegetable wax (soy, carnauba, jojoba, copra oil or palm oil). A good choice would be candles from the French company Yves Delorme, which are made only from mineral wax with the addition of aromatic oils. Aroma lamps Lampe Berger:unique technology The lamps of this French brand deserve a special mention. After all, they not only aromatize and decorate the room, but also purify and disinfect the air in it. The basis of the action is a catalytic air purification system based on the oxidation reaction of metal, as a result of which ozone molecules are released and destroy most pathogenic bacteria in the air. And the lamp itself is a bottle filled with an alcohol-containing aroma solution, with a ceramic burner, to which a special cotton wick is attached. By the way, the shapes of Lampe Berger bottles are so diverse that you can choose for all occasions, for any mood and interior style. Aromatic sachets:durable and practical If earlier they were placed only in wardrobes, now they are used in children's rooms and living rooms, in offices, put in . Bags for aromatic sachets are made of various shapes, from natural fabrics (cotton, linen, silk). Any fragrant herbs are used as aromatic mixtures: lavender, rose petals, rosemary, mint, cloves. Sachets serve for a long time, and if the smell completely fades, a couple of drops of aromatic oil can bring it back to life. How to choose the right fragrance Firstdetermine in which room it will be used and how suitable it is in style. For example, the aroma for the bedroom should be soft: strong and bright perfume compositions have a bad effect on sleep. Menthol or citrus aromas stimulate excessive activity, and if this is not your goal, it is better to replace them with calmer notes of white flowers, lavender, warm spices. In the cold season, heavy woody aromas and so-called confectionery compositions become relevant: vanilla, coffee, chocolate, the smell of baked goods. And closer to them, they will be replaced by aromas of citrus, pine needles, cinnamon, cloves and hot wine.
