When I meet my lovely customers in person or online, I am always being asked, what is the difference between having a candle or a reed diffuser? The answer is, there are plenty of differences! Apart from both giving your home a lovely aroma and ambience, they are used differently and can bring different benefits to your home.

Our eco-friendly, sustainable range of luxury candles and reed diffusers are all toxin-free, cruelty-free and vegan-friendly. For example, our Allure range of candles and reed diffusers, both made from Patchouli, Ylang-Ylang, and Magnolia Blossom essential oil blends will give you the same sweet ambience but can have different benefits depending on what is right for you and your home! 


Do you prefer a long-lasting scent that lingers all day long or a burst of intense fragrance? Maybe you prefer a decorative eco-luxury candle that burns for hours at a time or a refillable reed diffuser subtly fragrancing each room throughout the day? If you can’t decide which you prefer, try adding both candles and reed diffusers throughout your home.

How are reed diffusers different from candles?

Rose gold, silver and gold reed diffusers

Our reed diffusers are blended with essential oils and are great for giving your home a mood-boosting scent all day, every day! When you or your guests walk into a room, they will instantly enjoy a lingering scent that is subtle and uplifting. Reed diffusers are safe as there is no risk of exposed flames and they make a great addition to bathrooms, offices, bedrooms and hallways. This is a perfect option for homes with young children as they are flame-free and can be placed in hard to reach places. Not only do our 200ml diffusers last for up to 10 months but they double as beautiful decorations that you can put on varying surfaces with accompanying ornaments. Our eco-luxury reed diffusers are hand-blended, using a sustainable, alcohol-free and glycol-free base which makes them last longer and have a low carbon footprint.


What makes candles different from reed diffusers?

Candles are made from a combination of wax and essential oils that release aromas into the air when lit. Candles are perfect for giving a quick boost of fragrance that can last for hours, depending on how long they are burnt. This quick boost of fragrance is the perfect way to freshen up your home when you are having people over or when cooking food that gives off a strong odor. Not only are they perfect for setting a relaxing mood and adding to the atmosphere with different sizes, scents and appearances but that flickering flame creates a lovely ambience as well.


Our eco-luxury scented candles are hand-poured in the UK with clean-burning, natural and sustainably sourced coconut and rapeseed wax. They are infused with a blend of high-quality essential oils and natural fragrances to provide a lingering aroma and therapeutic benefits without paying the price of harmful toxins!
