Electric Fragrance which is cheaper, easier, and last longer than Fragrance Candle? Yes. please!

Hi guys! after the last post, i actually bough two candles again with niki-chan's advice, i got cinnamon stick and french vanilla from Yankee Candle.

But yesterday, i went again to Ace Hardware (yeah i know, i go there alot with my friends, coz Ace Hardware at Grand Indonesia has too much cute products, mainly for kitchen set and daily life XD). When i went to the candle section, i saw some new collection from Yankee Candle. they have electric fragrances, diffusers, and room spray.

The electric fragrance doesn't have too many scents like the candle (since it's fairly new), it only has French Vanilla, Fresh Cut Roses, Home Sweet Home, and Clean Cotton. But I believe they'll stock up again after some time :D

I bough the Home Sweet Home fragrance. it says:
" A heartwarming blend of cinnamon, baking spices, and a hint of freshly poured tea."
indeed, my room is filled with cinnamon scent and make me feels like snuggling and curling on my bed inside my blanket on rainy day which is colder that my usual room with only AC ^^



the unit has flower details on it which don't show up on camera 

well, basically, you just open the bottle's cap and put it inside the unit and plug it. you can control the smell from sheer to strong, which is good. it says it holds until 6 weeks (which is, usually people never plug off this thing, they just use it 24/7). totally last longer than the candle *which up until 150 hours on large jar* , especially if you use it only a few hours per day


The electric fragrance is IDR 129.500 and the refill is IDR 99.500 with two bottles/pack which is totally cheaper than the candle.

P.S. : when i went yesterday, the candles aren't as much as the last time i went, but they have more the aromatherapy fragrance from Yankee Candle, maybe that's the reason. But i heard from my friend that ACE Hardware on Mall Artha Gading has much more candles than Grand Indonesia (they only have 2 big racks here), and they put it on cute racks too. then maybe they sell more electric fragrance to choose instead of only four. i'll check it out later. Besides, on the website they have so many fragrance to choose (but not as much as the candle) which make me so exited

Yankee Candle

 Today  I went to ACE Hardware Grand Indonesia, and while the others are on the toy section, i went ahead myself to the candle section. I've been seeing the Yankee Candle for almost a year now, and decided to buy it. I love all the fragrant (honestly, they all smell soo good!), these are my top fave:
-  Midnight Jasmine
- Fluffy Towels
- Vanilla Cupcake
French Vanilla
- Fresh Cut Roses
Wedding Day

after so much struggling, i cut them down until 3 left: Vanilla Cupcake, Fresh Cut Roses, and Wedding Day.
 I love the Vanilla cupcake (if you don't know, i like every scent which smell like cookies/flowery/sweet). It smells like a caramel. But when i smell it, i think the caramel smell is too sweet, so i decided between the FCR and Wedding. I want to buy the FCR at first, because it smells like roses (not too much, but very fresh and flowery) and it's pink, which is good because it matches my room (which was decorated with soft pink and cream furniture)

Fresh Cut Roses

But when i think about it again, i already have the English Rose fragrant oil from lovely lace which smell like this one, so in the end i bought the Wedding Day.

  Wedding Day (Large Jar)

"Always in good taste . . . a sophisticated and soothing blend of florals and subtle fruits."
