Scented Candles and Oil Diffusers

Scented candles from Ecoya at Expressions Cambridge

Most of us love a home that smells beautiful. Scented candles and oil diffusers make that easy. However, each works in a different way. So, here is a simple guide to help you choose.

Why choose scented candles?

Scented candles create a warm, cosy mood. When lit, they release fragrance and soft light at the same time. As a result, they are perfect for evenings, baths and dinner parties. Good quality candles also burn evenly and cleanly. Browse our candles to find your favourite scent.

Why choose an oil diffuser?

Reed diffusers spread fragrance without a flame. The reeds draw scented oil up and release it slowly into the room. Therefore, they are ideal for busy homes, bathrooms and hallways. In addition, they keep working all day with no effort. See our diffusers for current fragrances.

Where to use each one

Use candles where you relax, such as the lounge or bedroom. Meanwhile, diffusers suit spaces where you want a steady scent. For example, an entranceway or bathroom works well. Many people use both.

How to choose a fragrance

Think about the mood you want. Fresh, citrus scents feel bright and lively. On the other hand, warm vanilla and woody notes feel calm and cosy. Floral fragrances are a lovely middle ground. If you are unsure, visit our shop and test a few scents first.

Candle care tips

  • Trim the wick before each use.
  • Let the top melt evenly on the first burn.
  • Never leave a lit candle unattended.

Candles and diffusers make thoughtful gifts. They also pair beautifully with flowers. Gift delivery anywhere in New Zealand is $8.
