1. Scented candles
Masterfully create something romantic and even intimatescented candles will help to improve your mood. In such an atmosphere of temptation, you can meditate, have languid conversations and do other, more interesting things. They are ideal for use in the bedroom or bathroom during water procedures. It should be taken into account that it is better not to light a new candle right before the arrival of guests, because its surface will not have time to melt, which means that the aroma will not be felt. Do this the day before, an hour or two before the reception. And then, if you light the candle even for a short time, the aroma will quickly recover and will be quite rich.
2. Sachets and potpourri
For those who have forgotten:A sachet is a small bag that is placed in bedding and serves to give the latter a pleasant fresh aroma. Most often, it is filled with solid aromatic substances, and is made mainly of natural fabric, which retains the aroma for a long time. Although it should be noted that today sachets are made from a variety of modern materials, for example, from special paper, and mineral powder soaked in oils can be used instead of herbs. Use sachets in your wardrobe, closets and chests of drawers so that your linen always has an excellent unobtrusive smell. Create entire aromatic compositions called "potpourri", mixing spices, aromatic herbs and essential oils. To do this, just choose a suitable container that you like, such as a basket, a wide vase or even a tray. And then experiment and create, now the fragrant aromas of your home are in your hands.
3. Diffuser
The diffuser is quite a fashionable trend and,perhaps the most convenient way to fill a room with your favorite aroma. All you need is a bottle with an aromatic composition and a set of sticks that are inserted into it. By the way, there are quite a lot of fans of this method among Hollywood stars, including Cameron Diaz and Madonna. Anton Mednikov, CEO of the House of Candles company: - Home fragrances always have several options for "carriers", but today diffusers are in fashion, because this is the easiest and most convenient way to aromatize a room. You don't need to light a diffuser, put it out, you don't need to watch it, put it in a corner and forget about it, you only feel the aroma. If it is strong and intrusive, remove a few sticks. If you haven't put all the sticks and the aroma seems weak, add sticks. If all the sticks are there, but the aroma is not enough, turn the sticks over. But you don't need to do this every day, it is enough to do it once. And a diffuser with a volume of 200 ml will stand for about three months. domsvechei.ru
4. Aroma lamps with open flame
This is the most popular and widespread type.aroma lamps, which are also known as aroma burners. There are glass, porcelain, ceramic and even stone models, but they all work on the same principle: a water container located on top is heated by a tablet candle. A few drops of essential oil are added to this water, or special aromatic cubes are placed, which we will talk about later. Be vigilant and do not allow children and animals near aroma burners - like any source of open fire, it is dangerous if handled carelessly.
5. Electric aroma lamps
Such models are less common, but moretechnological. They are divided into two types: water-based and waterless. The first ones are similar to aroma burners, but the heating element here is not a candle, but an incandescent lamp that runs on the mains, USB or batteries. Waterless ones act as an inhaler, when the motor pumps air, but does not heat it, while preserving almost all the beneficial properties of essential oils. Their only drawback is that in the cleaning process, it does not tolerate delays and requires the use of alcohol-containing solutions.
Our opinion:— Globally, the spectrum of home fragrances is divided into complex perfumed, natural and synthetic. In complex perfumed ones, you will not find any classics or fashion — this is perfume or perfume (whichever you like best), like eau de toilette, which almost every person applies to the body every day. Most often, such products are quite expensive and are used more as a gift option. It belongs to the "luxury" price segment. Such home fragrances are produced by perfume companies, and you can buy them in perfume shops or expensive gifts. I don’t even want to talk about synthetic fragrances, because this is a common effect on the nasal receptors. They simply deceive the human body, transmitting a signal to the nose that the room smells like roses, although it smells like additives like E. These are the cheapest home fragrances, mass market, they can be bought in any, even the cheapest supermarket or hypermarket. There are, however, quite high-quality products in synthetic home fragrances, when natural identical fragrances are used, such fragrances cost almost as much as natural ones and belong to the middle price segment, but, firstly, these are only exceptions that emphasize the rule, and secondly, here everyone chooses what is more important to him: naturalness or price. Natural home fragrances are the most understandable and pleasant to our nose set of aromatic oils and ingredients. They are made on the basis of natural fragrances. Here you can trace this very classic, which can always be found. Natural fragrances are sold in home goods stores, expensive supermarkets, good but not very expensive gift stores, sometimes in bookstores and less often in perfumeries (however, there are exceptions). This is the middle, middle plus and premium segment.
6. Berger lamp

The invention immediately gained wide popularity and firmly entered into fashion, and among its fans were Coco Chanel and Pablo Picasso.

7. Houseplants
At all times, plants have given gifts to humanitywonderful aromas, and it is from them that essential oils are obtained. But why use a concentrate if you can put the original source of a pleasant smell in the room, which, in addition, will aesthetically decorate any interior? Healing from various ailments, indoor plants lift the mood and purify the air. Thus, a rose helps to get rid of fatigue, rosemary improves memory, and citrus fruits stabilize blood pressure.
8. Ultrasonic aroma lamp
Very effective and safe to fill the rooman ultrasonic aroma lamp will help with incense. It has an adjustable spray timer and can act as an air humidifier. USB diffusers have become especially popular.

Anton Mednikov, CEO of the company"House of candles": - In natural aromas there is a clear gradation into four groups: floral, fruity, fresh, food and spices. The fifth group is seasonal aromas, or festive, as they are most often called. Usually they include winter product lines that are released specifically for the New Year and Christmas. In winter, these aromas can be called the most fashionable, everyone loves the holiday atmosphere: pine needles, pastries, frosty freshness, etc. In Russia, citrus exotics are very popular in winter, which have become familiar to us since the times of the Soviet Union: tangerines, oranges, etc. In short, you can call it a citrus mix.
