A few days ago, I attended a fancy event at Bergdorf Goodman’s Bar III (did you know Bergdorf’s has a bar?! I didn’t…which is a good thing, because two glasses of Shiraz in I’m prone to breaking out the Amex) for Dr. Vranjes. To appease my obsession with having a beautiful-smelling home I usually buy room sprays or candles, because I’ve found that, alas, diffusers simply aren’t strong enough to expunge the scent of puppy, but I’m now sold on the concept: I put the Rosso Nobile diffuser that I was given at the event in our bedroom, and it completely infused our entire apartment within minutes. Not in an overpowering way, mind you – it’s like a prettily scented breeze just sailed through, washing away everything about dog ownership that used to bug me.
I’m actually not over-the-moon about the Rosso Nobile scent – it’s a bit fruity for my taste; I prefer florals for the home – but I adore Acqua (pictured above) and Tuberosa. They’re pricey (about $85), but here’s how I’d rationalize the purchase: I go through approximately one $20 candle a month, and the diffusers last four times as long…so it evens out to more or less the same thing, minus the fire hazard. I also think these diffusers (which, BTW, are gorgeously packaged) make fabulously unique bridesmaids’ gifts (I gave each of my bridesmaids a set of La Perla underwear, but I think about half of them would have appreciated this even more).
