Looking for an easy, fuss-free way to make your home smell amazing? Reed diffusers are a simple little luxury that can transform any space with gentle, long-lasting fragrance. They’re effortless to use, low-maintenance and a lovely way to make your home feel cosy and inviting. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.
What Is a Reed Diffuser?
A reed diffuser is a decorative glass bottle filled with scented oil - a blend of base oil and fragrance oil - and a set of reeds. The reeds soak up the oil and slowly release the scent into the air, filling your room with a subtle, continuous aroma.
Step 1: Find the Perfect Spot
Location is key! Unlike candles, reed diffusers work best in areas with a little air movement, like near a doorway or hallway. This helps the fragrance circulate naturally throughout your space.
Step 2: Set Up Your Diffuser
Once you’ve picked a spot, remove the stopper from the bottle and screw the wooden lid back on. Then, pop the reeds into the bottle. You can use all of the reeds supplied or start with just a few - it’s up to you and how strong you want the scent to be.
Step 3: Flip the Reeds
Our reeds are designed not to clog, but for the best performance, we recommend giving them a little flip every couple of weeks. This helps keep the fragrance fresh and vibrant.
Step 4: Sit Back and Enjoy
And that’s it! Just sit back, relax, and let your reed diffuser do its magic. The gentle fragrance will fill your home, creating a welcoming and cosy atmosphere that you and your guests will love.
