Fragrance types

A Habitat Pomegranate & Baies XL candle with lid.

Candles

Doubling as centrepieces and instant mood makers, candles release their scent as the wax melts. The flickering glow adds a touch of warmth to your space.

Safety tip - Always use a heat-proof mat or a coaster to keep your candles on and keep them away from children and pets.

Diffusers

Offering a subtle and continuous fragrance around the room, diffusers liven up the space through reed sticks dipped into a jar of essential oils mixed with water.

Safety tip - Choose a stable surface for diffusers and keep them away from pets and children.

Electric diffusers

With multiple adjustable settings, timers, lights and the ability to blend oils, electric diffusers use ultrasonic technology or heat to give you the vibe you desire.

Safety tip - Relatively safer than candles and reed diffusers, these need an electricity connection to work.
