Diffusers, scented candles, catalytic lamps
The world of home fragrances is an extremely rich and sensual dimension. But what exactly do we mean by home fragrance? In general, we can say that it includes all the tools and options that we use to scent the air in our homes or the interiors of other rooms (e.g. business premises, waiting rooms). If we take a closer look at the individual products, we can come across a wide range of types, from very simple vaporizers to mood-boosting scented candles and gorgeous perfume lamps to the most modern ultrasonic diffusers. So we can be sure that it is worth paying attention to the scents around us, but which type of home fragrance would suit us best? To help you make your choice, we have briefly summarized the characteristics of the different types and highlighted their most important advantages.
Diffusers – The scents that really smell good
Within the wide world of home fragrances, diffusers form a large subcategory, which has further distinct sub-categories. Their main common feature is that they release fragrances into the air without burning.
Evaporators
Vaporizers work in the simplest way: the fragrances dropped on them (more precisely on their porous surface) or contained in them evaporate on their own, thus mixing with the air in our indoor spaces. This type of diffuser is affordable, but its use is difficult to control and is best suited for scenting small indoor spaces.
Carburettors
Essential oil diffusers are a slightly more expensive option, but they are extremely effective and work without a carrier. They therefore only release the molecules that cause the fragrance into the air. They are quick to work and can fill larger spaces with their aroma.
Ultrasonic air fresheners
This is the most popular type of diffuser. They use ultrasound to atomize essential oils dropped into the water tank of the device into the air. Their biggest advantage is that they not only scent the air, but also gently humidify it, which is extremely important in air-conditioned spaces, for example. The main reason for their popularity is that they are available in countless styles and shapes, so their appearance can fit beautifully into any interior.

Scented candles – Champions of creating atmosphere
With the spread of electric lighting, it may have seemed that candles were sacrificed, as they would no longer be needed. However, in the dimension of room fragrance, candles are currently experiencing a renaissance. This is mainly due to the fact that they combine the experience of smell (which stimulates us through our sense of smell) and the play of light (which affects us through vision). Together, these two phenomena can create an intimate atmosphere like nothing else. Candles are therefore essential accessories for our deepest celebrations, commemorations and romantic moments. Of course, many people also like to use scented candles for everyday peace, relaxation or meditation, but above all for room fragrance. They are also very diverse in their appearance (similar to diffusers). They are available in all kinds of colors, recently in various shapes, and can even be placed in different shapes (for example, a heart or other symbol), thus giving our room scenting candles an additional meaning that cannot even be imagined in the case of other home perfumes. In addition, scented candles can develop into even more special decorative elements together with other decorative objects (for example, wreaths or designer candle holders).

Catalytic lamps – For clean and fragrant air
This group of room air fresheners is also commonly called perfume lamps, but (unlike scented candles) there is no lighting involved. These decorative devices use flameless combustion to purify the air in our interiors, while also releasing the fragrances they contain. Their daily use is about as simple as using scented candles, but they do require refilling over time and occasionally changing the wick. However, this can be done without any difficulty, so they do not cause any problems or safety risks. Their special feature is that they were originally developed for medical use, meaning their primary purpose was to disinfect the air, and this feature still stands out among other room air fresheners today.

Our other options – Fragrances everywhere
Apartment fragrance spray
We can also use fragrance sprays to scent our homes and businesses, which, like traditional air fresheners, are available in spray form and therefore require manual application. This is a quick and easy method, the great advantage of which is that it allows us to try out many scents cost-effectively, and the small spray bottles can be taken with us anywhere. Moreover, they are excellent for scenting and refreshing not only our air, but also our fabrics. A true fragrance lover always has one or two of these fragrance sprays in their bag.

Car air fresheners
When it comes to home fragrances, we may tend to think only of the interiors of buildings, but we should not forget our cars either. Many of us spend a significant part of our day in our cars: traveling to work, school, training, shopping, going on trips, to concerts or wherever. As a result, the interior of the car, the atmosphere of the time we spend there, is just as important as any other interior. In fact, completely new aspects arise here, since we need to be alert while driving, for example, so refreshing scents are appreciated. Of course, sometimes – in adventurous and annoying traffic situations – aromas that bring peace can also be very good.

Body perfumes and cosmetics
Of course, scents are not only important in the air of indoor spaces, so – although this article is primarily about home fragrances – we must also talk about body fragrances and cosmetics. A delicate scent pampers, soothes and dresses you up. It is just as important a part of the refreshment after waking up as it is of the slowing down and quieting down during the daily routine before going to bed. Scents always affect us, fundamentally determining our mood and rhythm, our mood and emotions, and even our social relationships. That is why we pay so much attention to the scent of our skin, hair, breath and clothes.
