Let’s dive in…
Our homes are our sanctuaries, and just as much as any piece of art or furniture adds to giving our homes the look and feel we desire, fragrances can often be the final piece we need to truly bring our sacred spaces to life. However, the problem a lot of people may face today, is the flurry of different home fragrance options to choose from, it can be difficult to discern what would work best for each space. This is a crucial decision that most people struggle with, but we’re here to fix that today.
Reed Diffuser
Also commonly called home diffusers, are most often the centrepiece for any home fragrance setup. A reed diffuser is a small, long-necked bottle filled with fragrance oils that contains thin, long strips of material called reed sticks that absorb the oils and work to diffuse the scent around the room. Shishscentury’s diffusers take about an hour to release their fragrances into the air, and often last over a month, provided the reeds are turned upside down every few days to keep the scent in the room strong. Reed diffusers are most effective when placed in areas with dynamic air flow, i.e centre of rooms, near windows, etc to allow the scent circle throughout the rooms they are in. Their reach is not great but they are able to give out a subtle and consistent scent in whatever rooms they are placed in. They are most effective in smaller rooms such as bedrooms, or study rooms and even kitchens, and depending on the size of your home, they could work in smaller apartment living rooms or multiple diffusers could be used for larger rooms in larger homes.
Some of the best reed diffuser fragrances we offer are;
- Nero Di Bacco, a captivating diffuser fragrance that transports you to a sun-drenched Italian vineyard, bursting with the rich sweetness of ripe grapes and luscious black cherries.
- Teal, a tranquil fragrance that captures the essence of a coastal retreat, where the gentle lapping of waves meets the fresh, invigorating sea breeze, or
- OUD, an opulent and captivating scent that transports you to the heart of the Middle East, where the rich, smoky notes of oud have been treasured for centuries.
Scented Candle
A classic. Scented candles have always been one of the most effective ways to light up your spaces while simultaneously introducing consistent and refreshing fragrances. Our scented candles can be the perfect addition to your home because they are beautifully designed and once lit, their fragrances can simply fill up the room within the hour with a warm cosiness that can’t be easily replicated, they are simply unmatched. But, their inflammable nature means you would need to be cautious by carefully placing them in locations where they can burn without fear of causing damage by keeping them away from fabrics or other flammable materials. Scented candles would go perfectly in living rooms, dining rooms and most especially bedrooms where they are ideal for turning an ordinary night at home into a lovely sweet-scented experience with a touch of romantic ambience.
Some notable candle fragrances we offer include;
- Hazelnut; a delectably warm and inviting fragrance that captures the essence of roasted hazelnuts.
- Coffea; a captivating diffuser fragrance that captures the essence of freshly brewed coffee, complemented by subtle notes of sweet caramel and creamy vanilla.
- Egyptian Amber, an enchanting fragrance that blends the zest of mandarin and a luscious fruity top note.

Scent Machine
While reed diffusers and scented candles have long been staples in many homes around the world, the wonders of technology have allowed us to design specialised machines that are able to consistently emit fragrances into a room or environment for extended periods of time to create a particular ambiance, mood or sensory experience. They are called scent machines, and are perfect for home owners who want to curate a consistent sensory experience for their guests, although they are more often used by businesses such as hotels, restaurants to even retail stores or banks who want to curate certain customer experiences because they understand that smell is one of the most powerful senses that humans possess. A familiar aroma can evoke a sense of nostalgia and bring forth a range of emotions that enhance a customer’s experiences, we call this scent marketing. This presents businesses with an opportunity to differentiate themselves from the competition by working closely with us to develop a truly bespoke and unique fragrance that customers can fall in love, and begin to associate your business with.
Home fragrances come in many different shapes, sizes and styles, each of which can serve a different purpose depending on the unique needs of your home.
