As a BzzAgent, I recently received free samples in exchange for my opinion on a couple of new products from Glade. I tried the Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice Fragrance Mist and the Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice Oil Diffuser. Fall is my favorite time of year so I was happy to see this wonderful scent and broke them out as I was decorating my home with fall decorations. First, the Fragrance Mist. I have to admit that I had not seen these previously and didn't look at it very closely when I picked it. So I got home and was surprised to see that it is basically a can of spray, but with a decorative plastic holder so the ugly can is not visible. I thought it would do something...you know, insert batteries and spray every fifteen minutes or so. It doesn't. You just pick it up and spray it when you need it. It smells good and I like the idea of the can blending in with the surroundings, however, I never really kept the can sitting around anyway. I always kept it in a cabinet, drawer or basket. After thinking about it, though, I scoped out where my family and friends kept their cans. All of them were in plain view (backs of toilets, etc). All in all, after I got that this might be exactly what some people are looking for to keep their cans on the down low, I really kind of liked it. The smell is not as artificial as some of the air fragrances I have tried in the past and it really does make the air smell nice. A lot comes out when you spray it and I don't really like when spray comes down onto the toilet, floor, walls, etc...but not sure how that could be changed.
The other product, the Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice Oil Diffuser is also very nice. This is basically a piece of a felt like material that absorbs the oil from the bottom and then scents the air around it. This diffuser came with the off white plastic holder, which is prettier than the standard room air fresheners that you can buy, but it doesn't exactly blend into my country home. I like that it doesn't require electricity and the smell is quite nice. I smelled it quite a bit the first couple of days, but not so much now. I have a big country home so no room air freshener is going to be really noticeable. I prefer candles or melts/warmers to permeate through the entire home and are somewhat strong. This had enough scent that I noticed it in the room it was in and a whiff every now and then in an adjoining room. Glade has nice scents to pick from, but for these two particular products, there were only a few options and only one that was good for fall. I would buy the oil diffuser refill and continue to use this product. I would probably move it to a smaller room, though, like the bathroom or bedroom.
