Red Flower Orange Blossom fragrance diffuser ~ home fragrance review

Posted by Pia on 30 September 2007 5 Comments

Red Flower Orange Blossom fragrance diffuserI recently purchased Red Flower’s Orange Blossom diffuser to put in a newly remodelled guest bathroom. I was looking for a fragrance that would be light, uplifting and refreshing, while also maintaining a certain air of elegance. I took a chance and ordered the Orange Blossom diffuser unsniffed as I generally have been so pleased with the variety of products I have tried from Red Flower. I was not disappointed!

I thought it was time to sample another Agraria scent.

Most home fragrance fiends have probably succumbed by now and tried a perfume-oil-with-diffuser-reeds product. Agraria’s Balsam AirEssence comes in a beautiful, hand-blown heavy crystal perfume bottle with glass stopper. The bottle (almost six inches tall) contains 9.4 ounces of scented oil into which one places 20 nine-inch diffuser reeds. The reeds absorb the fragrant oil and diffuse it into the air; when you want more concentrated scent — flip the reeds.

The Balsam fragrance (as described on the Agraria website) contains: sweet balsam (no particular plant/tree is specified), California redwood, French sage, and white flowers (again, no specifics). Diffuser perfume oils are blended in a way that provides a steady stream of unvarying fragrance…
