  • Reduced Priced Candles & Reed Diffusers On Sale In Asda

    Home fragrance products are very popular. It doesn’t matter what form they come in, people buy them. Wax melts, room sprays, oils, candles, reed diffusers, these can be bought anywhere with varied price points. Visiting my local supermarket ASDA I noticed a few home fragrance products reduced in price, including candles and reed diffusers. So what did I spot?

    Special Priced Candles & Reed Diffusers On Sale In Asda
    Various Sized Candles by Yankee Candles

    I saw different sized and fragranced candles from the brand Yankee Candle in the candle section of ASDA. But the ones that caught my eye were the large versions, weighing 580g each. I spotted quite a few fragrances but took note of Pick & Mix and Citrus Spice. Each one priced at £5.50. These would be perfect scents for Spring/Summer.

    Hygge by Aroma Works Reed Diffusers

    Lime & Frankincense and Vetivert & Petitgrain scented reed diffusers from Hygge by AromaWorks where also reduced in price. These were just two of the few different versions I found fragrance wise, with these being priced at £3.00 each (last Friday these went down further to £1.50 each!).

    Sweet Pistachio Reed Diffusers by ASDA

    For only £1.50, I was tempted to buy ASDA’s own branded Sweet Pistachio Reed Diffusers. I’ve used some of their reed diffusers before and thought they were very good. The price of these was very affordable.

    So these are just a few home fragrance products I recently found in ASDA at special promotional prices. Much lower than what they would normally be which makes these really good buys if you wanted to purchase them. I found not all stores have the exact same deals on at the same times, so worthwhile checking what your store has available.

  • Asda’s Rhubarb Blush Reed Diffuser For A Pound!

    I would like to think I’m on the ball when it comes to spotting good deals. One place I can normally find a deal or two is in supermarkets. During a recent trip to Asda, while eyeing up some wax melts, my eyes caught sight of some reed diffusers. This is where I found Asda’s Rhubarb Blush Reed Diffuser, 100ml, for £1.00! No idea how much they were originally, but they were labelled as ‘special priced’.

    Why did I buy this?

    I actually needed a reed diffuser as I like to use them in my downstairs toilet. But this grabbed me because the packaging was striking and understated at the same time. The fragrance name sounded like something I would like so very appealing. And to get a decent quality 100ml reed diffuser for £1.00 just isn’t going to happen, so I grabbed two!

    Packaging

    This reed diffuser came boxed. Cream in colour with different shades of grey on it. The box itself is textured in look and feel. Very simple, very minimalist, very clean in look and modern.

    The Reed Diffuser

    The reed diffuser itself is made from frosted glass. It’s a short, chunky cylinder shaped bottle which is grey in colour. Not totally opaque as I can see the fragranced oil inside of it. Around the top where you place the reeds it has a gold rim which contrasts with the colour of the bottle. And with this came 6 thick and short reeds which you place in the bottle and allow the oil to soak through them which in turn releases the fragrance.

    The Fragrance

    I’m a sucker for anything with a rhubarb scent to it, and this diffuser definitely has that sweet, distinctive fragrance that rhubarb has. Fruity, sweet and mouthwatering. Mixed into this is floral, which makes this scent have quite a feminine, cosy and welcoming type of fragrance. Perfectly balanced, great combination of the two different scent types. It’s a beauty!

    Strength & Longevity

    This lives in my small, downstairs toilet. It took a few hours for the fragrance to come through and it was so nice and had a good strength to it. Every time I go into the toilet I can smell it, and I would say the strength is medium, which is perfect for this sized room. Longevity is a hard one to comment on as I’ve only used this for the last 2/3 days. The packaging says this can last up to 8 weeks which I can’t say is true or not. But so far so good. How this behaves in a larger sized room I have no idea. In a smaller room size this is idea.

    Recommended?

    For the price, the fragrance and the look of this, this is a definite buy buy buy! It’s a lovely reed diffuser to use which has a universal fragrance most people would like. How this performs in the short space of time I’ve used it has been good and the price makes this so budget friendly! And dare I say this would be something good to buy and put away for Christmas gifts?

    I have no idea if Rhubarb Blush Reed Diffuser is available in all Asda stores and at the price I paid, but if it is you know what to do….
