How to choose home fragrance

Pick the format for the room

  • Candles give the strongest scent while they burn and need attention: trim the wick, never leave one unattended. See candle care and safety.
  • Reed diffusers release scent continuously without a flame. The reeds absorb oil and let it evaporate; flip them every week or two. See reed diffusers and room sprays.
  • Room and fabric sprays work instantly and are the easiest way to scent bedding, curtains and a car. Test on delicate fabrics first.
  • Wax melts use a warmer instead of a wick and let you change scents often. See the wax melts guide.
  • Aroma oils are for diffusers and burners; check the brand’s directions for the device they are made for.

What to compare

  • Wax and wick: brands list soy, coconut, beeswax or blends and cotton or wood wicks. The National Candle Association says all quality candle waxes burn cleanly and in the same manner.
  • Burn time and size: listed by the maker in hours and ounces.
  • Scent source: some makers use essential oils only; others use fragrance oils. The product page states what the brand says.

Questions people ask

Which lasts longest?

A reed diffuser runs for weeks to months depending on its size; a candle lasts for its stated burn time; a spray is instant and fades within hours.

Can I use a room spray on bedding?

Many are made for fabric, but check the label. Grow Fragrance, for example, says its air and fabric spray lasts longest on fabrics and should be tested on delicates.

Do you sell mosquito-repellent candles?

No. Products marketed to repel insects are regulated as pesticides in the United States, so we leave them out.
