And our house has now sold, and we have already looked at quite a few new houses, but not yet settled on one, which is stressing me out big time. But one of those things I hate when we go through houses for sale, is the smell of the people living there, what they had for dinner the night before and not to mention their pets. So when we put our house on the market, I wanted to make sure that our house smelt nice at all times, regardless of what food we have been cooking, and in spite of having two Labradors living inside, and apart from making sure that the house is aired daily, home fragrances come in very handy. Here are my thoughts on the *Urban Rituelle Creativity Pink Grapefruit and Lime Zest Fragrance Diffuser;

What I Say:
I have previously tried the Beachcomber Soothing Body Balm
in Island Citrus from Urban Rituelle, and it is the most gorgeous body balm, so
I was looking forward to putting the fragrance diffuser to the test.
I love the fact
that Urban Rituelle is an Australian brand and that the products are Australian
made too.
When I received the Urban
Rituelle Creativity Pink Grapefruit and Lime Zest Fragrance Diffuser I was
instantly impressed as it came packaged in a beautiful pink gift box, also
making it perfect as a gift.
The actual diffuser comes in a large sturdy glass bottle
with a decorative yet simple silver collar to hide the opening of the bottle. The
bottle is sealed with a small clear plastic cap, which is very efficient at
making sure there no leakages, but it is a little difficult to remove, so I had
to enlist the help of a knife to wriggle it loose.
And as soon as I popped the reeds into the fragrance I could
instantly smell the gorgeous and fresh fragrance, although the scent did
intensify over the next few days as the fragrance absorbed into the reeds.
I absolutely love citrusy scents, it is my favourite scent, so
this Creativity fragrance containing pink grapefruit and lime zest is just
right up my alley, although I am not quite sure smelling it made me feel more
creative!
The gorgeous scent immediately spread through the house – we
have a rather large house, and even placing the diffuser in one end of the
house, you could smell in the other end house as well, and as soon as you
opened the front door.
Urban Rituelle claims that the diffuser will keep smelling
gorgeous for a minimum of 4 to 6 months depending on air conditions and the
frequency the reeds are turned, and so far after a month it is still going
strong.
At one stage I placed the diffuser in our family room, and
then I moved it upstairs on the landing near out bedroom, but unfortunately
hubby is a little sensitive to strong fragrances as they give him bad hay
fever, so I had to remove it and place it somewhere it was not too close to
him. The diffuser ended up being placed in the downstairs powder room which is
however very central in the house, and because the scent is still so strong,
you can still smell it throughout the downstairs area.
But in saying that, I did use the diffuser with all the 8
reeds, and you can get a more subtle scent by using less reeds.
What I Like:
- Australian brand with Australian made products
- Simple yet stylish bottle
- Fresh and refreshing citrus scent
- Strong and long lasting scent of high quality and which doesn’t smell chemical or artificial
- Well priced considering the high quality and how long it lasts
What I Don’t Like:
- The clear plastic cap that seals the bottle can be tricky to remove
Overall I am so in love with this fresh and natural citrus
scent that flows through my house, and while I love burning scented candles, I do
like that this permanently scents my home without having to constantly remember
to blow out the candles when I leave the house. I will enjoy this over the
coming months, and when it nears an end, I will definitely repurchase.

Do you use scented diffusers in your home? Or maybe scented
candles? Which scent is your favourite?
Seems the only con is little worry about.. although the price may be a little too much for me! I'm more of a candle lover... but I will keep this mind since it is an Australian brand. Plus it seems like a great scent for the upcoming Summer!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is perfect for summer being so fresh and zesty - and it may be a little pricey, but does last you a long time! I've had cheap diffusers in the past, and they don't even begin to compare in either quality of the scent or the longevity.
DeleteI'm really fussy with house smells. Our house had a really odd smell in our bathroom cabinet when we first moved in. So I kept a diffuser + fragrant sheets in there for a few weeks before putting my cosmetics in there to help remove it.
ReplyDeleteI adore having candles and diffusers around the house. I've tried a UR candle, but never their diffusers.
I love scented candles too, but do like the permanent scent that comes from the diffusers.
DeleteI love a good diffuser, the ones in Dunelm mill are gorgeous although can be over priced.
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered your blog and I'm your newest follower. I love your content.

I agree, I love a good diffuser too. I've never heard of Dunelm Mill before, but maybe they are just not available here in Australia!!
