I purchased this set as refills for my Homedics AromaSpa Aromatherapy Diffuser. The scents are very soft and pleasant, not overbearing at all. Love the set -- it's extremely easy to remove/replace in the diffuser with no mess involved. Packed in small plastic jars, they keep very well over a long period of time.

The perfect spot I've found to use my diffuser is on my nightstand where you can fully appreciate the fragrance it emits. If you're looking to provide aromatherapy for a larger room or area, you may consider another type of product as this one works well for smaller areas and the fragrance does not travel very far.

I love my HoMedic diffuser, esp. the gurgling brooke sounds, but after trying each of the four "aromatherapy" beads, I much prefer to use a round cosmetic cotton pad with a few drops of pure essential oils. The beads are kind of stinky, and though they claim to contain essential oils, any experienced nose will tell you that they definitely include synthetic fragrance oils, as well.

If you want to fragrance your room, you'll do better with a candle or spray, but I would never use those things personally.

Aromatherapy isn't based on fragrance. It's based on specific traits of specific plants and flowers, which are incredibly concentrated and potent in their distilled form. If the substance you're smelling isn't a pure essential oil, or is adulterated with synthetic perfumes, it's not therapy. It's just aroma.

A good, inexpensive alternative is to pick up 2 or 3 pure EOs from your local health store. A good start- Lavender, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Lemon. Learn about the qualities of these oils, from a basic book or Google search, and experiment with a drop or two on a cotton pad in your diffuser.

You'll enjoy the pure aroma and it will indeed be therapeutic.

You take it out of the box, open the beads and WOW! They smell pretty good! But the distance between your hand and your nose is relatively small... Plug the device in and you still can't smell it across the room. Not recommended for use in any room that isn't small. If you use it in a small room, I think you will like it.

The Homedics AromaSpa Aromatherapy Diffuser worked beautifully BUT these weren't particularly my kind of scents.
