Scented liquid
How do diffusers work?
Parfum d’ambiance
Perfume diffusers, also known as capillas, are decorative objects that pleasantly scent your interior. Their principle is simple: they exploit capillarity, a physical phenomenon which allows a liquid to circulate in a porous space such as wood, paper or fabric. The liquid is attracted to the molecules of the material around it and moves along it.
A fragrance diffuser consists of a bottle filled with scented liquid and sticks that soak in the bottle. The stick is made of a porous material, such as wood, rattan or bamboo. It has many interstices between its fibers, which serve as channels for the scented liquid. This rises by capillary action to the end of the stick, where it evaporates and diffuses its odor into the air. The stick can be made from natural or synthetic materials.
The perfume diffuses constantly, which reinforces the intensity of the top notes, the most volatile, compared to the base notes, the most persistent. (To learn more about the composition of a perfume, see our article on the olfactory pyramid).
The diffuser works by capillary action, there is no combustion unlike a candle. Furthermore, the diffuser diffuses the perfume permanently, which makes it complementary to the scented candle.
The average lifespan of a perfume diffuser is one month for a 100ml diffuser and can go up to several months for larger diffusers. This shelf life may vary depending on the size of the bottle, the number of sticks or climatic conditions. The more sticks you use, the faster the liquid will evaporate and the smell will be intense. To extend the life of your diffuser, there are refills for diffusers. It is also an ecological and economical gesture. The diffuser is the ideal complement to the scented candles.
