What Are Fragrance Oils?
If you've just discovered the world of home fragrance, welcome! Fragrance oils are concentrated scent blends crafted to deliver rich, long-lasting aromas that transform any space. Unlike essential oils, which are purely plant-derived, fragrance oils are expertly formulated to achieve complex, layered scents — think warm oud, fresh ocean mist, or calming lavender — that linger beautifully in your home, office, or wellness studio.
At AuraTales, our fragrance oils are made in India using high-grade, non-toxic ingredients, making them safe for your entire family including children and pets.
Types of Diffusers You Can Use
One of the best things about fragrance oils is their versatility. Here's how to use them across different devices:
- Ultrasonic Diffusers / Humidifiers: Add 5–8 drops of fragrance oil directly into the water tank. The device disperses a fine mist that carries the scent throughout the room.
- Ceramic Oil Burners: Fill the top bowl with water and add 4–6 drops of oil. Place a tea light candle underneath and enjoy hours of gentle fragrance.
- Reed Diffusers: Pour the oil into the bottle, insert the reeds, and flip them every few days to refresh the scent.
How Many Drops Should You Use?
Less is more when it comes to fragrance oils. Start with 5 drops and adjust based on your room size and scent preference. For larger rooms, you can increase to 8–10 drops.
