Any brand names that actually last,and smell nice?

I have tried numerous brands over the years and I find that Yankee fragrances seem to have the most staying power. 

I think Woodwick candles makes frangrances too, and I've bought some of the holiday frangrances.  Woodwick used to be called something else -- Virginia Candles?  I don't like the candles, but I do use some of their diffuser scents.

It takes a bit of time for the scent to travel, and it does not have the throw that a candle does.  But, I know the scent does travel.  When I return home after being gone for a few hours, I can smell it better than when I am home all the time.

And, the other night, my DH was sitting on the porch and told me he smelled the scent when I opened the door.

One or 2 containers won't do much, so I keep several throughout the house using some small Tracy Porter vases I bought many years ago.

Keep a little coaster or something under that vase because the oil will damage a wood finish.

I buy my own reeds and just buy the Yankee refills (mostly on sale).

Hope that helps!

****Essential oils can be expensive, but have found a lot at TJ Maxx.

Meant to add that I buy my reeds from reed diffusers dot com.

You can buy them in larger quantities.

They also have just about every scent you can imagine.

Their citrus and holiday scents are nice, but mostly I use Yankee.

I've always used Woodwick or Yankee candle brands.  However, I haven't seen reed diffusers in many years.

Jo Malone. I've tried many but hers deliver regarding scent and style.

Do the scents last?

Pier One's SeaAir is long lasting and very pleasant.  Pink Champagne is fantastic, but it sells out quickly when it first comes out in the spring.
