9 Ways Essential Oil Diffusers Are Better Than Candles

AirScent Diffusers • Jul 26, 2021

Are waterless diffusers better than burning candles? Well, they both have their merits, and while candles offer different benefits, there’s no denying the effectiveness and efficiency of a waterless essential oil diffuser. Here are 9 reasons why they are better than candles!


 

The power of fragrance permeates the atmosphere of a room and affects the moods of all who experience it.


Since man’s early history, candles have led the way through the darkness and scented varieties have provided a fragrant path.  


The modern age and all its innovations however, have brought about other alternatives when it comes to spreading scent effectively; namely, air diffusers.


The Difference Between Candles and Diffusers

 

Scented candles and diffusers can equally serve as understated home accessories, but candles have a live flame and diffusers do not.  

 

 

Both candles and diffusers provide fresh, vibrant scents in the home and can fill every room with a luxurious fragrance.

Candles or Diffusers

Lighting a scented candle creates a rush of beautiful scent anywhere it is placed, but there is one important   caveat; there must be at least one person present whenever a candle is lit. 


The level of relaxation a flickering flame can offer is like not other, as a candle glimmers warmly, setting a cozy and relaxing mood.

When it comes to filling a home with fragrance, candles have been the first choice for a long time.


With essential oils becoming more and more popular however, there are new and better alternatives for the provision of fragrances for private residences.


Scented Candles


Scented candles are made from a combination of wax and scent oil that when lit, emit aromas into the air.


Their ingredients can vary greatly and their flickering flames are gentle and soft.


Integral to the ancient practice of aromatherapy, scented candles are mood boosters, and certain scents, like lavender and rose, are well known for their capacity to ease anxiety and stress.

Streams of cinnamon and citrus are uplifting and promote energy. 


Candlelight enhances healing with its warmth and sense of comfort, and nurtures the ability to focus.


Candles serve as the perfect home accessories, enhancing any chosen decor, and an endless variety of shapes and colors to choose from.


Why Waterless Essential Oil Diffusers Are Better Than Candles


Waterless Diffusers Are A Safer Choice


There’s no flame, no hot wax, no immediate risk of any kind. 


Open flames of any kind are too potentially dangerous to keep lit unattended all night long and are obviously a poor choice for homes with pets or small children.


They Maintain Optimum Fragrance Levels


Although lighting a candle will initially and effectively throw a scent across a room, it cannot maintain its flow force over the course of an entire day.


With a diffuser, a continuous and constant scent is guaranteed for an entire day, week or even month, depending on capacity selection.


Waterless Essential Oil Diffusers Are More Discrete


These sleek devices can be placed most anywhere in the room, including out of sight. 


They reflect dynamic consumer preferences, which are trending towards a preference for minimalistic designs that permit seamless integration into any home décor. 


This not only lends a note of mystery to the scenting experience, but also alters the character of disposable items in a disposable society that become complementary to everyone’s daily routines.


They Save You Money in The Long Run


While the purchase of a solid diffuser and a supply of essential oils will initially cost more than an investment in even a high-quality candle, our diffuser oils are so much more concentrated that they will last longer than any candle.


They Are  Adjustable To Suit Any Preference


Unlike candles that burn until they don’t, diffusers are totally adjustable and they can be tailored to suit a wide range of preferences. 


Finding the ideal setting may take a bit of experimentation,  but in the end, it is well worth the effort whether it is designated for a home or a commercial space.


They Provide Larger Coverage Than Candles


Our Waterless Essential oil diffuser freshens interior spaces of up to 1000+ feet and are perfect for homes as well as retail environments, hotels or motels, healthcare facilities, restaurants, spas or fitness centers, office buildings, schools, nursing homes, churches, day care centers and more.


They Provide Even Consistent Scent Coverage

 

Diffusers break down essential oils into a dry mist of nanoparticles via the the use of filtered air.


This vapor is then released into the HVAC ducts, sending a consistent and even scent to the desired areas. No candle can come close to providing such an efficient scenting solution.


Candles Produce Soot And Other Chemical Residues


Waterless essential oil diffusers offer a safer alternative to candles, as they don't emit harmful phthalates.


Candles often contain these chemicals, which can pose health risks when burned. In contrast, waterless diffusers disperse pure essential oils into the air without the need for heat, preserving their therapeutic benefits.


This method eliminates the release of toxins associated with burning candles, promoting cleaner indoor air quality.


Additionally, waterless diffusers are versatile, allowing users to customize their aroma blends and adjust intensity levels.


With no open flame, they also reduce fire hazards, making them a preferred choice for both health-conscious individuals and safety-conscious households.
