Which Candle Wax is Best?



Home decor is a big part of our lives and we spend time and devote quite a bit of thought to this facet of our lives.
We use many accessories and small furnishings like candles, diffusers, pictures, puff chairs and other items to add interest, color, and personality to our homes.  Candles are are an excellent way to not only add a pleasant and personalized fragrance to the home, and with the multitude of colors and shapes that scented candles come in we can add spots of color, and interest vignettes.
These days you can buy and find the best prices on all the top quality candles and diffusers from the best manufacturers like Voluspa, Votivo, Archipelago, Trapp and other candle makers at on-line stores.

Candles these days are made from either paraffin or vegetable waxes.
Paraffin waxes has a superior capacity of holding and releasing fragrances and it comes in all levels of purity. The level of refinement determines how clean the candle will burn and whether the candle will burn cleanly or throw off chemicals into the air affecting both the air quality, and the fragrance.   Candles from the Thymes like the Eucalyptus candle, and the Thymes Thymes Fasier Fir candles use Food Quality Paraffin waxes that will burn very cleanly to the last spec of wax in the container, and will have superior fragrance throw.

Vegetable waxes are either made of Soy wax, or hydrogenated oils from seeds and nuts.  Vegetable oils take longer to release the fragrance than paraffin, however they burn very cleanly and once the wax is hot and melted they have an excellent fragrance throw.   Finding the right combination in vegetable wax is both an art and a science, and in combination with the proper wick, companies like Voluspa and Aquiesse produce superior fragrant candles like the Luxe Linen, Pomegranate Sage, Suede Blanc, and the Vervaine Olive Leaf.

Other companies will use a combination of Paraffin and Vegetable waxes.  Seda France produces a superior line of candles that is made of such a formulation and they come in a gift ready pagoda style packaging that is just exquisite.
Many online sites off a wide range of candles at the best prices. If you have any problem in finding an on-line store, then go on www.zanadia.com . This site contains many types of candles and other related product.

Creating a personal fragrance or branding your business with Reed diffusers


Fragrances have a definite effect on how the human mind perceives its surroundings, invoking different states of mind in each of us depending on our physiology and past life experiences.
Research has proven the effect of scents on our behavior that today many retail stores, casinos, and hotels  install Scented Air Delivery Units in their ventilation systems to infuse fragrances.  The fragrances vary from floral, to expensive smelling as in fancy car dealerships, to fragrances that are made to mask unpleasant odors as in fitness clubs.

Reed diffusers made with natural oils and extracts are one way to infuse your favorite fragrances into your home.  With a multitude of fragrances available these days, you can have your signature fragrance infused throughout your home or work place by using a single or a combination of scents for an even more complex effect.  Using diffusers is simple and avoids using flames as in candles.  You simply open the bottle, insert the included reeds and wait for the fragrance to permeate into your home or office.
For a fresh boost of fragrance simply invert the reeds to expose more of the diffuser oil to the air, or for less fragrance simply reduce the number of reeds used.

As the oil works itself through the capillaries of the reeds some residual resins slow down the capillary action and the it is recommended to change the reeds every six to eight weeks.  A good quality diffuser should last several months with minimal maintenance.
These days many different types of diffuser are available on the market from manufacturers like the Archipelago reed diffusers, Capri Blue Diffusers, Voluspa Diffusers, Trapp Diffusers, and Aquiesse Diffusers amongst many more other brands.
Some of the most popular fragrances are the Votivo Red Currant diffuser, the Aquiesse Luxe Linen, Voluspa  Pomegrante Patchouli, and the Capri Blue Volcano diffuser.
You can also find natural diffusers from baby rooms to mask diaper pail odors like the Noodle and Boo diffuser.
