Scented hourglasses and spheres: designer olfactory objects
Scented hourglasses and spheres are forms of home fragrance that combine decorative function and olfactory diffusion. Primarily developed by Dr. Vranjes Firenze, these objects are designed as small decorative sculptures.
How they work
The scented hourglass releases fragrance when inverted: one side absorbs the perfume, the other diffuses it. The scented spheres are decorative blown glass containers that release fragrance through small holes.
Where to place them
Entrances, consoles, bedside tables, visible shelves. These objects are designed to be seen and admired, as well as to scent. The design is part of the fragrance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do they last?
From 3 to 6 months depending on the size, less than a standard reed diffuser but with a greater aesthetic impact.
Can they be refilled?
Some versions are compatible with the brand's original refills. Check the product page.
Are they safe in homes with children?
They should be placed out of reach: the content is perfumed liquid and the glass is delicate.
