Room fragrances have great potential to conjure up a pleasant atmosphere in your home – they are considered to be real mood makers. It’s not just about the smell itself, but also about its effect on the body and mind. This is because different fragrances have different effects. However, the selection of the right system should also not be ignored.
Mood maker
A room fragrance appeals to our sense of smell via our subconscious and has a lasting effect on our mood. A room fragrance can help us relax after a stressful day at work or provide us with new energy.
The right room fragrance
Which room fragrance is right for you depends entirely on your preferences. Favorite fragrances are usually associated with a fond memory or a pleasant feeling in the pit of your stomach when you smell them – a scent that takes you back to your childhood or reminds you of a sunny Sunday morning. Smells have a direct effect on the part of the brain that controls our emotions. Essential oils also have a positive effect on your body and mind. But which oils are suitable for what?

Room fragrance sprays
Fragrance sprays are the classic room fragrances and are available in a wide variety of scents. They eliminate unpleasant odors and quickly create a pleasant atmosphere. They can be used in all rooms of the home, including the WC.
Automatic room fragrance sprays
Automatic room fragrance sprays have the advantage that they refresh the room air at a predetermined time interval without further intervention. They can be easily refilled with different fragrances, allowing you to create a changing olfactory atmosphere. These room fragrance sprays work immediately and are ideal for larger rooms. The sprays can either be hung or set up and can therefore be used flexibly in various areas. They are also effective for up to 60 days.
Electric fragrance plugs
They consist of refillable bottles that are filled with fragrance oil and plugged into a socket and only work with a power supply. The evaporating aromas ensure a continuous supply of fresh fragrance. The strength and duration of electrical plugs can be conveniently adjusted with a switch. The advantage of these electric diffusers is also their flexibility. They can be plugged into another room in a matter of seconds. They can also be conveniently adjusted in intensity using a step control.
Scent sticks as room fragrance
Scent sticks aromatize the air without any electricity or fire. They are contained in a bottle filled with flavored oils. The sticks draw in the aromas and release them into the air. The intensity of the scent depends on the number of fragrance sticks in the jar. They can therefore also be used for larger areas. The advantage of fragrance sticks is that the fragrance can be changed at will and flexibly by changing the oils.
Scented candles
They release their fragrances quickly via the candle smoke and are suitable for smaller rooms. With their different aromas, scented candles provide great smells at any time of year. They are also available in countless flavors, colors and sizes. However, only one scented candle should burn in each room so that fragrances do not mix and it should never be left unattended due to the open flame. Scented candles burn for up to 40 hours.
