How Aroma Diffusers Work To Fill A Room With Calm

Looking to infuse your room with a sense of serenity and calm? An aroma diffuser could be just what you need. Flame-free and full of calming sensations, aroma diffusers present an easy, combustion-less way to enhance the aromatic essence of your space.

Choose from a variety of aromas and decide how strong you want the scent to be. With aroma diffusers, you’re in control. Adding this simple and beautiful element of home decor to a room in your home, office, or bathroom could truly transform its entire energy. Learn more about how aroma diffusers work here.

What are Aroma Diffusers?

Free of flames and requiring very little maintenance, aroma diffusers present an effortless way to create a tranquil, soothing atmosphere wherever you are.

How Aroma Diffusers Work

Aroma diffusers work by dispersing a soft but noticeable scent into a given space. They use essential oils rather than combustion (i.e. candles) to allow for the subtle release of beautiful, relaxing scents. Every type of aroma diffuser has its own intricacies. Electronic diffusers will come with a set of instructions which users must follow in order for the scent to disperse properly and evenly.

Reed diffusers, on the other hand, are rather straightforward. All you have to do is insert the reeds into the bottle and flip the sticks. For a more intense fragrance, use all of the reeds provided within the packaging. For a lighter aroma, simply remove a few reeds. Flip the reeds once a week to refresh the aroma and let the scents of paradise infiltrate your space! 

Types of Aroma Diffusers

There are various types of aroma diffusers, some of which are electronic while others are completely manual.

Reed Diffusers

Reed diffusers are the lowest maintenance type of aroma diffusers. With no buttons, batteries, all you have to do is put the reeds in the oil, flip them, and enjoy the scent that emanates from them. When you want a stronger scent, flip the reeds or add more sticks. When you want less, just remove a few sticks. It’s truly as easy as that! Reed diffusers can be used in any size room, from small powder rooms to expansive hotel lobbies. They’re versatile and practical, making them the go-to type of aroma diffuser on the market.

Evaporative Diffusers

This type of aroma diffuser requires a bit of technological prowess, but don’t worry; they’re not all that complicated. Evaporative diffusers have a small pad or filter infused with essential oils as well as a built-in air vent system. This allows for proper air circulation and even distribution of the essential oil particles into the room.

Ultrasonic Diffusers

This higher-tech option requires a few more components and integration. You’ll need water in which the essential oils can dilute for the diffuser to work properly. Ultrasonic diffusers can be set to disperse oils intermittently at certain intervals, allowing the user to control the saturation of scent. This is great if you are highly sensitive to strong smells or prefer a more hands-on approach. Keep in mind, however, that having to maintain this vigilance may take away from the sense of calm you’re seeking when using the product. 

Nebulizing Diffusers

Great for large, open spaces, nebulizers are typically used in lobbies, spas, gyms, and retail stores. The scent remains strong and consistent throughout the area due to the internal nebulizing diffuser, through which compressed air is pushed through a small opening. This pressurized, vacuum effect draws in the oils and then disperses them as a dry mist.

Benefits of Using Aroma Diffusers

Regardless of the type of aroma diffuser you choose, the benefits are plentiful. Some of the benefits include:

  • Long-lasting scent
  • Flame-free fragrance
  • Low-maintenance
  • Easy-to-use
  • Adjustable scent intensity
  • A great alternative to candles
  • Safe around children and pets
  • Ideal for a range of settings, including bathrooms, spas, retail stores, offices, etc.
  • Stylish home decor

What to Know About Aroma Diffusers

Despite the widespread use of aroma diffusers, some people still have lingering questions. At Malie, we want you to feel confident when you use our products, whether they’re for the home, hair, skin, or body. That’s why we go to great lengths to provide a little extra information, making sure you feel good about your purchases with us.

Are aroma diffusers safe?

Yes! Aroma diffusers are a safe option for enhancing the scent of your room. Reed diffusers in particular are safe for use around pets and children, as they provide a flame-free alternative elevating your room’s fragrance.

What scents are available?

Malie diffuser are available in a variety of scents, including

We also offer the Malie Island Ambiance Gift Set for those who simply can’t choose just one scent. Complete with 3 travel size aroma reed diffusers (2 oz each), this set gives customers the option to choose between Koke’e, Pikake, or Plumeria. Each bottle contains 2 oz of pure perfume oil and 7 reeds per scent. Let paradise fill the air as you alternate between the aromas.

What supplies do I need for aroma diffusers?

Each Malie Island Ambiance Reed Diffuser comes with everything you need to enjoy the island-inspired scents. For full-size products, this includes:

  • An 8 oz bottle of reed diffuser filled with pure perfume oil
  • 9 reeds

For mini reed diffusers, this includes:

  • A 2 oz bottle of reed diffuser filled with pure perfume oil
  • 7 reeds

Should you want to refill your product without purchasing an entirely new one, we also offer that option as well. Reed diffuser refills are available for purchase on our website in each scent.

How long do aroma diffusers last?

Malie’s reed diffusers are made to be long-lasting to provide sustainable scents for all those who choose to enjoy them. Our full-size aroma reed diffusers last 1-2 years on average, while our mini diffusers last for about 3-4 months. Our reed diffusers do not contain alcohol, which is why they last longer than many other alternatives.

Are aroma diffusers better than candles?

That all depends on your purpose for using them. Aroma diffusers are flame-free, which is great if you have pets or children in the home, or want to use them near a bath to create an at-home spa. They’re also suitable for environments that do not allow open flames, such as retail stores. Candles, on the other hand, can be a lovely way to enhance the aroma and ambiance of your space. Many people choose to combine several of our home products and use them simultaneously to create their own personal, at-home oasis.

At Malie, you can find soy candles and room sprays in the same scents as our reed diffusers, making it easy to establish a signature scent in your home.

Are reed diffusers eco-friendly?

Yes! When made from natural materials such as rattan, as Malie’s are, reed diffusers present a sustainable way to enhance the ambiance of your space. Additionally, our reed diffusers come in glass bottles that can be upcycled as bud vases, giving a whole new life to these products.
