Fragrance sticks, what are they actually?
Reed diffusers, also called home fragrances or aroma sticks, consist of a bottle of fragrance oil and reed diffusers. These sticks absorb the oil and then gradually diffuse the scent throughout your room. This way, you can enjoy a wonderful scent in your home day and night, without having to lift a finger.
Curious about the difference between reed diffusers and fragrance sticks, and which is best for your space? Then read "Reed diffusers – benefits and uses ." You'll discover why our non-hazardous diffuser base is healthier and more sustainable than standard alcohol-based options.
But... not all fragrance sticks are created equal. The fragrance experience, safety, and durability depend on the ingredients and how you use them.
1. Choose good fragrance sticks without alcohol
Many fragrance sticks, especially cheaper ones, contain alcohol and other volatile chemicals. These may make the scent spread quickly and stronger, but they also evaporate much faster and can cause headaches, dry airways, or irritation.
- I'm using a non-hazardous base. What does this mean?
- No alcohol or harmful solvents
- Vegan, cruelty-free and biodegradable
- Much slower fragrance release, meaning the reed diffusers last much longer! At least 3 months!
- Safe for use indoors, even with children and/or pets.
Action fragrance sticks are inexpensive, but alcohol-based. This means they run out much faster and smell less refined.
Rituals fragrance sticks always come in luxurious packaging, but even then, the scent often fades after a few weeks. Their website states that 300ml fragrance sticks last up to three months. Personally, I don't think that's very long.
Roeloffs Candles fragrance sticks offer fragrance for up to 3 months with 100ml and are made without compromise on health and quality.
Wonderful scent! You'll feel like you're in a pine forest. A truly winter and Christmas scent. A perfect gift for under the tree :-)

I was looking for a lovely scent for the toilet, but not too overpowering. Marjolein advised me to start with three sticks and then adjust the scent strength accordingly. The scent is so strong that three sticks are more than enough! It's a wonderful scent that reminds me of vacation, just what I need during the summer months!
