Reed Diffuser Guide
How to set up, maintain, and get the most from your reed diffuser — long-lasting ambient fragrance with no flame needed.
How to Use
- •Remove the stopper or cap from the bottle and place it on a coaster or non-porous tray to protect the surface.
- •Insert 5–6 reed sticks into the oil — this gives a subtle, balanced scent for most rooms.
- •After 24 hours, flip the reeds so the dry ends sit in the oil; this saturates the sticks and gives an immediate fragrance boost.
- •Flip the reeds every 3–5 days to refresh the scent. Flip more often for a stronger throw in larger rooms.
- •Keep the diffuser away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air conditioning vents to prevent the oil from evaporating too quickly.
- •When the oil level drops below one-third, top it up with a small amount of diffuser oil to extend its life.
Reed Count
Start with 5–6 reeds for a subtle, ambient scent. Use all reeds for a stronger throw in larger rooms like drawing rooms or open-plan spaces.
Best Placement
Hallways, entryways, and spots with gentle air circulation work best. Avoid placing directly under ceiling fans or AC vents — the rapid airflow burns through the oil too fast.
Longevity
A 60ml diffuser typically lasts 4–6 weeks. A 100ml diffuser lasts 8–12 weeks. Warmer rooms and more reeds will shorten the lifespan; cooler, less-ventilated spaces extend it.
Surface Safety
Always place the bottle on a waterproof tray or coaster. Diffuser oil can strip finishes from wood, marble, and lacquered surfaces if dripped directly.
