Christmas is on the horizon, and if your approach is all-encompassing, we come bearing excellent news.
The power of scent cannot be overstated, and nothing compares to a soothing waft of pine or the spicy aromatic depth of frankincense when it comes to getting you in the mood for the festive period.
Granted, the soft, flattering flicker of a candle is hard to beat – but reed diffusers are a solid home fragrance option, especially if you have pets, a child or a member of your friendship group who gets particularly animated after one eggnog too many.
