Yankee Candle
Representative image. Actual product may vary.
Best for when you’re in the room and can keep an eye on the candle.
Best for setting the mood. Sometimes you want the lights off and chill in front of the TV. It’s low light but can set the mood if that’s what you are going for.
If you like variation with the kinds of odors you bring in your room, candles are highly customizable and come in nearly every scent you can imagine.
Not good if you’re going to be gone for sometime as you will not want to leave it unattended.
If low ceiling, you could have black smudges from the smoke after you blow out the candle.
Not very portable, as most are glass, which is breakable, and they tend to be heavy.
Representative image. Actual product may vary.
Plugins tend to cost less over time than the initial setup compared to a candle, but refills are generally inexpensive.
Easy to hide, they do not take up much space, only an available outlet.
Since barracks rooms are not very large, only one should be enough.
Be mindful of allergies, as Pine and other scents can trigger allergies.
With them being easily hidden, they could easily be forgotten about. Try to get a schedule when changing them out.
Your room could be limited on outlet space. Meaning you may need to lose power to something else.
