The strongest and deepest answer to the question belongs to Patrick Süskind, author of “The Perfume”, one of the most brilliant, extraordinary, original novels of German literature.
That “force of persuasion” Süskind writes about is an important element also for interior decoration. Architects and interior designers more and more often include diffusers of design in their projects, because they know and understand their double value: the beauty of shape, the emotion of substance.
A fragrance is so touching because it somehow makes otherwise fluid feelings and emotions tangible; a batch of emotional memories which can turn into the stylistic hallmark of a new way of furnishing that becomes sensory experience.

How can you perfume your house?
One of the main “duties” of room diffusers is to insure a constant, lasting effect of the fragrance you chose to perfume your interior. In order for this to occur, however, improvisation must be banned: decorating with nice diffusers has its rules.
Let’s find them out together.
1) The importance of the right balance between shape and space when choosing a diffuser
Which room do you have to embellish with the diffuser? It is fundamental to choose the size of the diffuser according to the size of the space where it will be used.
The proportions sizes-room must not be underestimated: if the diffuser is too small for the room where it is put, there will be an aesthetically disproportionate effect and the diffuser will end up losing its decorative strength as well. On the contrary, if the room is small and the diffuser is too big for it, there will be a feeling of “stylistic interference”.
This ratio of proportions also affects the strength of the fragrance. When the diffuser is small and the room is big, fragrance will vanish; in the opposite situation, fragrance could be too strong.
It is therefore necessary to find the right balance between shape and space, in order to insure an elegant decoration and, above all, to make sure fragrance covers all the space without altering its harmony.
2) Where to put the diffusers?
The diffusers with sticks CANNOT be put everywhere. Their position is fundamental to make sure they work in the right way:
- They must not be put below one meter or above one’s nose, since fragrance tends to go upwards and if you put the diffuser in a too high position, the fragrance you will smell will be less intense
- Surfaces close to sources of heat and electricity must be avoided; they would cause rapid evaporation of the fragrance
- The ideal places where to put diffusers are tables, coffee tables, short pieces of furniture and consoles, together with other furnishing objects
How to use the diffusers?
The diffusers with sticks are very easy to use.
They were designed in order for their shapes and sizes, as well as for the number of sticks and their length, to insure the best olfactory experience. We recommend to always keep the liquid level above half the capacity of the diffuser; this way you will prevent the quantity of oxygen in the diffuser from negatively affecting the evaporation rate.
When you use the product for the first time, insert the sticks and let them soak for about one hour before turning them upside down. Through the osmotic process, the fragrance will start to spread its scented notes in the room. We recommend to turn the sticks periodically or whenever you want to revive the intensity of the fragrance.
The duration of a fragrance changes according to the features of the room where the diffuser is. If the interior is wide, we suggest that you put two diffusers in the opposite corners of the room.
So … what is a perfume?
We understood it, thanks to this little guide: in interior design, it is a continuous journey in search of a sensory alphabet, capable of narrating and enhancing the hidden power of fragrance. A game of olfactory and creative harmonies where the places of memory will succeed.Choose your own with
