Most people who know me know that I am a Yankee Candle fanatic. Mainly because I can’t stand it when our house smells musty. Especially in the bathrooms where there’s not a lot of air circulation. We’ve tried all those gel-scented options, burned candles, and sprayed very-perfuming air disinfectants, but none of them could get rid of that musty smell that comes from a room with water.
Luckily, I was given the opportunity to try out some of Febreze’s new scented solutions this past month. I will say that I am not a fan of the Febreze fabric freshener, the smell just doesn’t sit quite right with me. So I was skeptical about how I was going to like the Flameless Luminary and No-Spill Wood Diffusers.
Think Bath & Body Works scents meet Yankee Candle smell strength. Wonderful.
We stuck the Cherry Blossom Whimsy Flameless Luminary in the front bathroom that is most frequented by our guests. Not only does it have a small footprint, but I love it’s modern and simple looking; it didn’t clash with our decor. And it emits a soft flickering light without the fire hazards of a candle! The scent was subtle, not overwhelming, and as my husband puts it, not overly ‘girly’ smelling. And once you have the base, changing scents is as simple as changing the shade! I want to try green tea citrus next.
The No-Spill Wood Diffuser was placed in our master bathroom next to the sink. It looks a bit more ‘manly’, just a simple clear vase with a wood rod and block. Our trial was with the honeysuckle orchid scent which was sweet but woodsy. I was thinking the other day that I wouldn’t be able to provide a adequate review on the ‘no spill’ factor until my natural clumsiness solved that issue. I knocked over the diffuser while cleaning the bathroom and can honestly say that no liquid escaped! Whew.
In conclusion, we both liked and will keep using the products, but I liked the Flameless Luminary more and my husband voted for the No-Spill Diffuser. I guess it’s a good thing we have two bathrooms!
disclosure: i received a febreze flameless luminary and no-spill diffuser to review. as always, all opinions are my own.
