Scented Candles vs. Reed Diffusers: Which One Is Best for Your Home?

by SCENTIQ C/O Modluxe Distributors Pte Ltd. 19 Mar 2025
Scented Candles vs. Reed Diffusers: Which One Is Best for Your Home?

Two of the most popular options are scented candles and reed diffusers. People buy scented candles for the ambiance and atmosphere they create, a calm, serene, and peaceful one. These candles create a dimly lit atmosphere, adding a touch of sophisticated beauty that soothes the mind and keeps it relaxed. 

On the other hand, reed diffusers offer the same sensory experience without the light. They are perfect for people who are looking for a safer and more convenient way to keep the space smelling great. 

While both scented candles and reed diffusers offer a great experience, they work differently. Each of them has its own benefits, so if you are looking to buy either one of them, this blog is your ultimate guide to choosing the right one. This blog outlines

  • Our Verdict

The Scented Candle Surge: Why Now?

Scented candles have become a game-changer for many in recent years. While they've been around for centuries, their popularity has surged dramatically in recent times. As a leading scented candle reseller in Singapore, we’ve witnessed this significant growth firsthand. The rise in corporate work culture, combined with the growing awareness of the benefits of aromatherapy, has played a pivotal role in the increasing demand for scented candles.

Social media has also contributed significantly to their popularity. We are constantly surrounded by stunning home décor and serene spaces featuring beautifully placed scented candles that immediately capture our attention. Their aesthetic appeal is undeniable, and before you know it, you find yourself browsing and ready to check out your next favorite scent. But why settle for just one brand when you can explore a world of options?

At Scentiq, we offer an exclusive selection of luxury scented candles from top brands around the globe. We understand how enticing the idea of creating your own cozy sanctuary can be, and we’re here to help you do just that. So, why wait? Dive into our collection today and treat yourself to the perfect scents for your home.

How Do They Work?

Scented Candles

Scented candles are made from wax, infused with fragrance oils, and designed to release their scent when burned. When you light a candle, the heat melts the wax, allowing the fragrance to disperse into the air. The intensity of the scent is often stronger while the candle is burning.

Reed Diffusers

Reed diffusers consist of a glass or ceramic container filled with scented oil. Reeds are placed in the oil, where they soak up the liquid and naturally disperse the fragrance into the air. Unlike candles, they do not require heat or electricity to function, making them a continuous source of fragrance.

Ambience & Aesthetics

Scented Candles

  • The soft flickering glow of a candle creates a warm and cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxation.
  • They add a decorative touch to a space, available in various sizes, colors, and designs.
  • The act of lighting a candle can be a ritual that signals relaxation or focus.

Reed Diffusers

  • Provide a more subtle and constant fragrance without the need for flame or electricity.
  • Their minimalistic and elegant design makes them a stylish addition to any room.
  • They work well in modern, busy households where safety is a concern.

Fragrance Strength & Longevity

Scented Candles

  • The fragrance of scented candles is more intense while the candle is burning, but fades once it is extinguished.
  • The scent throw (how far the fragrance travels) depends on the quality and size of the candle.
  • A standard candle may last anywhere from 20 to 50 hours, depending on its size and burn time per session.

Reed Diffusers

  • Offer a continuous, subtle scent that lasts for weeks or even months.
  • The strength of the scent can be adjusted by adding or removing reeds.
  • Over time, the fragrance may weaken, requiring oil refills or reed replacements.

Safety & Convenience

Scented Candles

  • Require adult supervision since they involve an open flame, which may pose a fire accident.
  • Not ideal for homes with small children or pets due to the risk of tipping over, especially when placed at the lower height levels.
  • Need to be extinguished before leaving the house or going to sleep.

Reed Diffusers

  • Completely flameless, making them a safer alternative.
  • Require minimal maintenance—just occasional replacement of the reeds to refresh the scent.
  • Ideal for people who want a continuous fragrance without the worry of remembering to blow out a candle.

Best Locations to Use Scented Candles and Reed Diffusers

Scented Candles

  • Living Rooms & Bedrooms: Great for setting a cozy and intimate mood.
  • Bath Time: Perfect for creating a spa-like experience.
  • Special Occasions: Adds a touch of elegance to dinners, celebrations, or meditation sessions.

Reed Diffusers

  • Entryways & Hallways: Provide a pleasant first impression when entering your home.
  • Bathrooms: Keeps the space smelling fresh without needing daily maintenance.
  • Workspaces & Offices: Offers a subtle scent without being overpowering, ideal for focus and concentration.

Cost & Maintenance

Scented Candles

  • Can be expensive, especially high-quality soy or beeswax candles.
  • Require ongoing purchases as they burn down over time.
  • Need to trim the wick regularly for an even burn and to prevent excessive soot.

Reed Diffusers

  • The initial investment might be higher, but they tend to last longer than candles.
  • The only maintenance required is flipping the reeds occasionally.
  • Some diffusers allow for oil refills, making them a more sustainable option.

Conclusion

All in all, if you are a person who enjoys fragrances, both scented candles and reed diffusers are ideal choices. However, choosing between them ultimately depends on your taste, lifestyle, and environment. 

If you love the warm glow and occasional relaxation of a beautifully scented room, go for scented candles.

If you want something that offers continuous fragrance and a safer option to flame, reed diffusers are perfect. 

But, we recommend using a combination of these for best results. Place reed diffusers in areas where you have guests or common areas, mainly busy areas. Place scented candles in bedrooms or places when you just need a burst of fragrance and ambiance. Whatever may be the choice you make, we have a wide range of fragrance options. Visit Scentiq, explore our collections and buy your favourite products at exciting prices.
