Whether she's on the road for an extended period of time, or just at the office, Xela Aromasticks are hard at work softly scenting her apartment. Unlike other diffusers, which tend to smack her in the face with a heavy perfume when she enters the door, these give Girlawhirl just the occasional whiff of soft scent.

The sleek, simple and modern looking diffuser set comes with the traditional glass jar and bamboo reeds, but Xela has added a wooden bauble that tops the jar and also becomes enriched with the perfumed oils. The oils – in scents like Energizing Pink Grapefruit, Mesmerizing Asian Ginger, Charming Gardenia, Loving Red Currant and Relaxing Lavender – work their way up through the porous reeds, into the bauble, and out into the air. If Girlawhirl feels like she's in need of a more immediate olfactory punch, she just flips the reeds, exposing the oil soaked side to the air.

Xela – Greek for “wooden sticks” – Aromasticks come in a variety of sizes (from 4oz to 16oz) sure to fill any size room with a fresh, soothing or revitalizing aroma! Girlawhirl's got small ones set up in her office – Energizing, of course – and Relaxing in her bathroom.

And Xela's even got scents designed for the nursery – so Girlawhirl knows just what she'll be topping her baby shower gift towers with.
