Essential Oil or Extract?

Fragrance oil is sold under many different names. How do you know whether you are dealing with extracts or essential oils and is there actually a difference? Essential Oil means oil that evaporates when it comes into contact with air. These bottles contain concentrated plant liquid without additives. In addition to pure essences, essential oil often also contains (synthetic) fragrances or enhancers such as alcohol. According to aromatherapists,plant extracts can be absorbed better by your body than oils, while synthetic bottles only give off odors or mask less pleasant ones. So it depends on what exactly you want from your perfume!

How Does an Oil Burner Work?

An oil burner contains a tea light with a tray or holder above it at some distance. This way the perfume does not come into direct contact with the heat source. The tray is also filled with a mix of water and a few drops of fragrance oil. The burner then ensures that the aroma slowly evaporates together with the water. The mist that is created spreads evenly and is also safe to inhale.

How to Use Fragrance Oil in a Burner

These steps show you how to vaporize your favorite aroma in no time:

1. Place the burner on a fireproof surface, out of reach for children and pets.
2. Set a jug of water next to your oil burner.
3. Place a tea light in the holder.
4. Fill the container with water to just below the rim.
5. Add 3-5 drops of oil.
6. Light the tea light.
7. Wait for the water to evaporate.
8. Enjoy the scent!
9. Refill from the jug when the burner is almost boiling dry or blow out the tea light.
10. Clean the tray regularly to remove oil residues.

Aroma Diffuser with Fragrance Oil

How do you use fragrance oil when you don’t want to keep an eye on a candle? In an Aroma Diffuser of course! Diffusers atomize water and oil by means of ultrasonic vibrations. These diffusers therefore work without heating. In addition, they usually turn off on their own as soon as the water runs out. All you need to have available is a bit of electricity!

How to Vaporize Cold

You can also enjoy fragrance oil by using the heat and airflow present in your home. How? With a scented stone, for example, on which you put a few drops. Place it in a sunny windowsill or near the heater on cold days and the scents will come to you automatically! You can also make fragrance sticks or fragrance bags with your favorite bottles. Give them an airy spot in the house where their aroma can be released properly.

Other Ways to Improve Your Atmosphere

Aroma diffusers and essential oils aren’t the only way to create good vibes in your home. Crystals in Your Home and living space can also help to improve the energy in your environment. Or try the traditional Chinese practice of Feng Shui to design your interior in a way that ensures the flow of balance and harmony. And every now and then a Spiritual Cleanse doesn’t hurt either! However you choose to create good vibes at home, Spiru has what you need!
