Glade Expressions Collection - BzzAgent Campaign - Review




This is a review on the Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice Oil Diffuser and the mist sprays: Cotton & Italian Mandarin, Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice,  Pineapple & Mangosteen. Although I didnt purchase the Lavender and Juniper Berry, I did smell it in the store and wasnt a fan of it. It smells strongly of juniper (in which I hate).

I enjoyed the exotic scents and that the oil diffuser was thin and descreet. It only lasts about 30 days, which is typical. It also comes in a spill free container, perfect just in case it accidentally gets knocked over. Its non electric as well. The oil holder comes in both white and bamboo colors.

Ok first the oil diffuser. So out of the box, it looks interesting - easy to take out, set up and put together. Tip- take off the sides and then snap in the diffuser. At first I didnt know that they came out.
As for the smell, the first day it was very noticeable and the 2nd and 3rd...then it started to diminish. I got the fuji apple & cardamom spice because its perfect for Fall. But plain old apple cinnamon would have been fine, seems like they just wanted to give it a fancy name.
Im currently using my difuser in a large room, maybe thats why the scent isnt very noticable. Ill try with another scent in a smaller room to see if I get better results.


On to the mist sprays, again I smelled them all and the juniper one was just nasty. But thats my personal preference. I liked the Cotton & Italian Mandarin, I didnt smell any mandarin but it smells of freshly washed linen and wasnt over powering. The Fuji Apple & Cardomom Spice is perfect for Fall, the scent smells like regular apple cinnamon. Pineapple and Mangosteen smells strongly of pineapple (Ive never smelled mangosteen so I cant really compare) It was refreshing and scented the room almost as if I cut a fresh pineapple.

The labels on the sprays are meant to come off, if you prefer. When you first purchase, you buy the starter kit, after the spray is used up you then buy a refill and keep the holder. The spray nozzle is squeezed rather than just using your finger to spray, it dispenses a fine mist. The refill is recyclable - keep that in mind. :)





Glade also offers a fragrance satisfaction guarantee or your money back, visit Glade.com for more information.

Ive found these at Walmart, Target and Safeway (Safeway being very pricey) The oil diffusers at Target are $5.99 and $2.99 for the mist sprays starter kits. The refills are $1 less. I cant recall Walmarts prices, probably the same as Target.
