I am SO excited to share this product with you all!!! I first discovered it through a deal website I frequent and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to get one and review it for you all. I have never seen an aromatherapy or diffuser necklace like these ones.
I received the "Circle" style locket in the Antique Copper finish, the Kristen style chain, and a jar of Turquoise ScentSpheres. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, an aromatherapy or diffuser necklace is used with essential oils or perfumes to emit the scent of the chosen medium. Vessel Scents of Style makes beautiful customizable diffuser jewelry, keychains and satchets. I was really impressed of the fact that they not only made necklaces but earrings, rings and bracelets too! There are a bunch of different styles of chains and lockets as well as a few earring options. They also offer chords and ribbon as an alternative to chains. There are even cute charms that you can add to your necklaces to give them an even more personalized look. There are different finishes to choose from as well. Really there are so many options!
The other thing that makes this brand so unique besides the selection and styles is their ScentSpheres! They are these special polymer beads that you put your desired scent onto and they hold/diffuse the scent as you wear them. This was one major thing that drew me to the brand as the scent spheres look MUCH nicer than the typical pads/pom poms traditional diffuser necklaces contain. The ScentSpheres come in so many different colors as well as different shapes. You can order them in bulk in a bag or in a cute little jar set meant for a piece of jewelry. Once the fragrance is fully dried you can also store the spheres in the jar. They are just really neat!
The style that the company sent me is literally perfect for me - it has a beautiful antique look to it (which a lot of you know I love) and the turquoise color is gorgeous! Behind purple, LOVE tortoise shades.
I should also note that the lockets open like so to add the ScentSpheres; the locket attaches to the chain via lobster clasp and they close with a magnet. The magnet isn't weak and does stay closed. It also helps that a lobster clasp is used which makes it impossible to open while attached. I love that it is easy to open though instead of fumbling with some sort of annoying clasp.
The metal is good quality and holds some weight without being too heavy. The chain is quite long which I actually really like, I can wear a shorter necklace along with it.
But how did the necklace preform at diffusing?
Wonderfully! The first time using these, I took the ScentSpheres and transferred them to a glass bowl where I added some drops of lavender essential oil over them; as essential oil should never be put in plastic. I allowed them to soak for roughly 45 minutes as I got ready for the day. I then transferred them onto a paper towel to dry and soak up the excess oil. I put as many of the spheres that would fit into the locket and put it on; going about my day.
That day I hung out with my best friend, Vicky. As soon as I got into her car she smelled the lavender and asked me about it. While we had lunch at her house her mother came home and she also smelled it as well. The scent lasted all day and was quite noticeable which I really loved! I love being enveloped in scents I love.
Although you can use perfume with these, it is not recommended. Perfumes contain alcohol which could ruin the ScentSpheres. Some essential oils can as well, but I haven't noticed any problems with the colors. Vessel Scents of Style also carries their own scent blends made specifically for their products; it seems that they don't sell the fragrances separately rather they will scent the ScentSpheres with them if you choose not to add your own fragrance.
You can purchase Vessel Scents of Style products from their website: https://vessel-scents-of-style.myshopify.com/

Overall I LOVE this product so so much. I would love to get a pair of earrings or even another locket. I definitely want to get more colors of ScentSpheres! I hope you all enjoyed this review and that it compels some of you to check out this wonderful product.
