WORLD TRAVELER TURNED FRAGRANCE CURATOR CJ LEMKY
CJ’s tips for transforming your home with your reed diffuser:
1. Transform your entryway with a reed diffuser that sets the mood.
The spicy warm scent of ginger creates an immediate cozy vibe to your home, so place a reed diffuser on the table next to your keys in the foyer where your guests will smell it as soon they walk in.
Entryways to homes and rooms are the beginning of a story that anyone who enters will experience. By having a White Tea and Ginger reed diffuser in the entryway you set the mood, welcome your guests and start the story that is told by the five senses within that room.
2. Keep your linens smelling luscious with an Oojra reed diffuser in your linen closet.
The French Provence Lavender is a classic fresh, clean scent…perfect for linens. Mmm, there’s nothing like snuggling up to sheets, blankets, and towels with a fresh scent. But the fragrance from your fabric softener only lasts so long.
Keep all your linens smelling fresh longer with a reed diffuser on the shelf next to them.
3. Use your essential oil reed diffuser to help you sleep or just relax.
Aromatherapy, such as lavender, can help you sleep more peacefully and feel more alert when you wake. A glass essential oil reed diffuser in your bedroom
will not only add to the decor, but also help you get some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Make sure it uses real essential oils.
4. Let your reed diffuser encourage some romance, too!
Jasmine is known for its aphrodisiac qualities and ability to inspire romance… Jasmine has been used for centuries as a romantic fragrance in a bedroom, particularly in India.
And lavender is known as the herb of love, often used in perfumes to promote amorous feelings. Having these fragrances in a reed diffuser near your bed will create an ambiance for romance.
5. Impress your guests with a fresh scented bathroom, courtesy of a reed diffuser.
A reed diffuser in your bathroom will add a touch of sparkle and class to the room. At the same time, we all want our bathrooms to smell great
despite the small room size, humidity, and, ahem, other things that can sometimes make it a challenge in a bathroom. An essential oil reed diffuser on your counter top or bathroom shelves will do the trick without the safety concerns of a candle. The French Provence Lavender is great for a light clean and calming feel or try Thai Jasmine Bamboo for a more sensual feel.
Fragrance curator CJ Lemky says a signature quality scent is the final layer of decor for a finished style. Her new line has something for everyone.
“When someone walks into your house, they immediately start to experience the story of your space. The scent, the decor, the warmth and the ambient sounds come together to create an ambiance that says a lot about who you are.
A light, beautiful fragrance will set the mood like no other element of your decor,” says CJ, who has traveled the world finding inspiration for her reed diffusers.
The line reflects CJ’s passion for exotic locations. “I wanted to bring the beauty and excitement of the world’s most exotic and beautiful places into the home. Jasmine from Thailand and lavender from France bring me back to those beautiful places as soon as I walk into a room.”
Once she was inspired by a fragrance, CJ played with natural essential oils to find the perfect blend. “I wanted the scents to be unique and memorable but also natural, so that when you walk by the diffuser you are transported back to a jasmine plant or an eclectic tea shop. That’s why it was important to use natural essential oils rather than chemical fragrances.”
And the reed diffusers are not just for the home. “Studio spaces are using Oojra reed diffusers to create a vibrant atmosphere, and businesses are bringing them into the workplace to relieve stress, promote productivity and make their clients feel more welcome,” she says. Thai Jasmine Bamboo seems to be the favorite scent for business. “It’s not something I had realized would happen when I was creating the fragrances, but it’s exciting to see people receive the benefit of essential oil reed diffusers throughout their day.”
Another unexpected beneficiary of the line has been single men. “I get lots of feedback from men telling me that their dates and girlfriends gush over how good their home smells. Apparently Oojra’s Jasmine scent is their new dating secret!” CJ laughs.
“When someone says to you, ‘I just love being in your home…’ That is what it is all about.”
