See how you can keep your home smelling fresh and cozy for longer

Aromatherapy has gained more and more followers due to its numerous benefits for physical and emotional well-being. And with the growing variety of products on the market, such as diffusers, humidifiers and flavoring sprays, it is possible to transform any environment into a relaxing and invigorating space. To optimize the effects of aromas, some application techniques can be extremely effective. Next, check out which ones!

Spray the air freshener from a minimum distance of 40 cm. This prevents the liquid from staining the fabrics and allows the aroma to be absorbed more evenly. By attaching itself to the fibers, the perfume remains in the environment for longer, providing a prolonged effect. “This application is like applying perfume to clothes. It helps to prolong the effect”, explains Anna Beatriz Londres, founder of Be colonies.

Spraying the air freshener on the lampshades is a creative way to enhance the diffusion of the aroma. When the lamp is turned on, the heat generated intensifies the exhalation of the perfume, creating a welcoming and engaging atmosphere. This technique is ideal for use in bedrooms and reading rooms.

To keep the smell in the room longer, spray the air freshener on rugs and carpets. Make sure to maintain a safe distance during application. The fabric fibers retain the scent and gradually release the scent as people walk on them.

When applying the air freshener to the curtains near windows and doors, the movement of air when opening and closing will spread the fragrance throughout the space, constantly renewing the scent in the room.

Another tip is to soak a small fabric pillow, piece of paper towel or cotton with the air freshener and place it in drawers, closets or even small corners of the room. This helps keep the smell smooth and constant, even indoors.

These practices help the aroma remain in the air for longer, allowing the positive effects of aromatherapy to be felt longer and more deeply. Some examples of aromas and their benefits include:

• Lavender: soft and floral, it is known for its relaxing and calming properties, helping to reduce stress and improve sleep quality. It is ideal for rest environments, such as bedrooms and meditation rooms;
• Bergamot: with a citrus and refreshing touch, it brings an invigorating sensation, helping to elevate mood and relieve tension. This scent is perfect for living areas such as living rooms and kitchens.
