Capillary or electric perfume diffuser, which one to choose?

There are many ways to perfume your home with a pleasant scent and many types of fragrance diffusers are available on the market. Each model has its own characteristics. But if you have to make a choice between a reed diffuser and an electric diffuser, we will give you the advantages of the first solution. Let’s find out the reasons for this choice.

Deciding to go green

Stick diffusers do not emit smoke or pollutants. The stems are vegetable and entirely natural. On the other hand, an electrical appliance, even if electricity is a clean energy, the manufacture of certain elements leads to environmental pollution. In addition, at Côté Bougie, we also offer containers with a natural coating which is the raffia.

Possibility to vary the intensity of the diffusion

A capillary diffuser gives you the ability to modify the intensity of diffusion. And yes, it’s not only possible to do it with an electric model! To do this, simply vary the number of plant stems placed in the diffuser. The more sticks, the more the fragrance spreads. It is therefore ideal for creating an elegant and warm atmosphere in a large room.

A capillary diffuser, a practical and economical alternative

Unlike an electric device, the capillary diffuser does not need an electrical power source to work like our mint & tea stick diffuser. Simply dip the plant stems into the container containing the perfume and the diffusion of the fragrance can be done automatically in contact with the air. You should also know that you can place this accessory anywhere in your house or apartment. This is not the case for an electrical device which necessarily involves the proximity of an electrical outlet.

No regular maintenance for the stick diffuser

In addition to being economical, the capillary diffuser does not require any particular maintenance. You just have to make sure you never run out of fragrance and stick refills. Several ranges of stick diffuser refills are available on the market. You can also take a look at our collection of scents designed to replenish your stick diffuser. There are for example the ambient fragrances amber, Jasmine and Oud.

Take advantage of a container capable of participating in your interior design

The main advantage of a capillary diffuser is its ability to participate in your interior design. The container containing the fragrance can be available in several shapes and appearances. This accessory will bring more elegance and style to your room like our raffia collection. The latter was specially hand woven by a women’s cooperative in Essaouira. Through these products, we strive to promote Moroccan craftsmanship.

Choose a capillary diffuser for a safer interior

It is important to keep in mind that an electrical appliance presents risks of short-circuit, especially when it does not respect certain standards. That’s why it’s best to choose a diffuser with rods. This type of material drastically limits the risk of causing damage. Not to mention that it does not emit heat unlike diffusers that are powered by electricity.

Opt for a capillary diffuser to avoid noise pollution

Most electric diffusers are known to be noisy, unlike a stick diffuser. The humming or rustling of the machine can then be disturbing over time especially when you need to rest quietly. The latter gives you the opportunity to enjoy in the quiet of a pleasant and comfortable as our raffia diffuser Rita pink fig. However, you can always choose to buy a quiet electric appliance, but you will have to consider its extremely high cost. Discover all our tips for using a perfume diffuser
