Home is so much more pleasant when it smells good.  Ann’s Antica Farmacista diffusers give a lovely scent without burning anything.  The birch reeds diffuse the scent into the air, no candles, no burners.  Ours have little alcohol, so they last longer.  Great for weekend homes, too.  Arrive to a lovely fragrance when you open the door!  $67.50 at Ann’s, includes the reeds.  Here are a few “flavors,” in pretty bottles.  Which do you like?  There are more to choose from at Ann’s!

When temperature and humidity go up, it’s nice to freshen the air of your home with Ann’s Lampe Berger fragrances.  Lampe Berger actually removes odors from the air in your home and leaves it smelling of the fragrance you like best.  Keep one at the lake house to freshen it after being shut up between visits.  Burn it after cooking to remove cooking odors.  For more details and a fragrance list, click here.  When you visit Ann’s, you can try our samplers to “test” the fragrance before you buy it.  We have a large supply of every fragrance available, and have stock in many discontinued fragrances.

Some of Ann’s favorite fragrances include Fresh Eucalyptus.  Clean and light, it also soothes when you have sinus congestion.

Just like our candles and our wonderful Lampe Berger, diffusers add fragrance to your home.  Unlike items that require burning, however, diffusers “diffuse” the fragrance without lighting a match, making them a great and safe alternative to candles in powder rooms or homes with pets or small children.  The fragrances are made of essential oils and permeate the air for months, keeping your home smelling wonderful.

Agraria fragrances fill your home with flowers and scents evocative of Northern California and are an Ann’s favorite.  Available in two sizes, they are packaged beautifully for gift-giving (perfect hostess gifts) and come in a lovely bottle.  The reeds are the sticks you put in the bottle (included in your purchase); the fragrance is pulled up the sticks and dispersed into the air.  No flame necessary.  The little tray shown in the pictures beneath each bottle is also included.

The elegant bottles and jewel-toned colors are pretty, too.  8 Agraria fragrances to choose from.  Small size, $45; Large, $110.

In our previous Lampe Berger post, we mentioned the Lampe Berger Fragrance you burn in your Lampe Berger “lampe” to make your home smell good.  The story continues….

Lampe Berger fragrance lampes need Lampe Berger FRAGRANCE to function.  There are so many fragrances that you’re guaranteed to find at least one that you like.    Fragrance is alcohol based and is released into your rooms when you burn the Lampe Berger.  It’s basically “perfume” for your home, and no one makes better perfume than the French.  Always burn Lampe Berger fragrances in your Lampe Berger lampes, because other brands of fragrances can ruin you wick (Ann’s has wicks if you need a new one, not a serious set back).

Fragrance comes in 1/2 liter size bottles ($18.95) and many also come in liter size ($31.95).   See our fragrance list (here), then come to Ann’s to sample them.  (Ann’s carries 62 Lampe Berger Fragrances, including many of the retired fragrances while supplies last.)   Buy your favorite or try a new one for Spring!

We love Eucalyptus, Sweet Pear, and Creme Brulee.  What are your favorites?

Lampe Berger is one of those marvelous inventions that once you have one, you don’t know how you existed without one.  Really.

Lampe Berger is a fragrance lamp, not for illuminating a room, but for removing odor.  It burns an alcohol-based fuel that comes in many fragrances (more about those in the next post) and makes your house smell good.  Unlike candles, Lampe Berger actually removes the odors, such as the smell of the wet dog or cooking odors.   It was invented in late 1800′s for use in French hospitals (imagine the potential for odor there) and is a patented item.    It is functional as well as decorative, making it one of Ann’s all-time best gifts. 

It comes in many styles, so you’ll find at least one to fit your decor.  We’ve posted a few pictures here, but you can cruise our site at www.annsfinegifts.com to see more.  They start at  $29.50.   You are welcome to visit Ann’s for a demonstration and a lesson.  It’s not hard to operate, and you’ll love what it does for your home. 

We hear all kinds of Lampe Berger stories about how some really bad smell was erradicated with Lampe Berger.  (My favorite is a the one where the skunk lodged under the lakehouse and using the Lampe Berger saved the family’s vacation!)   But most of our customers simply enjoy the daily indulgence of having their home smell nice. 

Please visit Ann’s for a demonstration, and sample all the fragrances that Lampe Berger offers.  If you already have one, give one as a gift!  See you soon at Ann’s.
