Product Information

You can buy refills for reed diffusers, but this will depend on the brand and what they offer. If your reed diffuser doesn't have a refill option, can also buy refills for a different reed diffuser and place it in your vessel, for a sustainable refill option. What room of the house should I put a reed diffuser in?

Additionally, we love that the fragrance blend itself is made without chemical additives. Each variety is free of phthalates, pesticides, parabens, and sulfates, and as an added bonus they’re never tested on animals. Just keep in mind that the fragrances do vary; some are stronger than others, so it may take a little trial and error to find one that’s ideal for your preferences.

Using your pipette and a measuring jug, we advise using between 10% to 25% fragrance oil depending on the IFRA. Therefore for a litre of reed diffuser base, we suggest to add 150 - 250 ml of fragrance or essential oil. The aromas of essential oils have so much potential to influence your emotions and overall well-being for the better," Forehand says. From calming florals and romantic musks to energizing citrus and earthy blends, there's something for everyone. Reed diffusers are popular for a reason, as they can add so much to a room without needing much input from you. Rachel Bough, fragrance expert and Head of Buying at The Fragrance Shop, thinks the same, adding, 'A reed diffuser is very low-maintenance - all you need is that bottle and the reeds to create the fragrant scent you want transported around the room'. With candles, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Not so with reed diffusers, which can be topped up with new fragrance oil when it runs out. Just make sure that when you buy a diffuser refill you discard your old reeds and buy new ones as they’ll be saturated with all the scent they’ve soaked up from the first round of oil and won’t soak up any more.

Sunny spots can also spell trouble for the life span of your diffuser, as 'this will cause the oil in the diffuser to evaporate', according to Rachel. 'It might look nice sitting on your windowsill, basking in the sunlight, but you’ll only end up having to replace your reed diffuser faster.' It’s the same principle as perfumes. Typically, the pricier ones have rarer or more expensive ingredients. Some fragrances are made from the oils of a rare and delicate flower petal, for instance, while others are made from synthetic ingredients that are easy and cheap to source. Reed diffusers work in a really straightforward way. The reeds absorb the scented oil from the vessel and then release that into the air. This then gives off a subtle but consistent scent into the space. What is the point of a reed diffuser? Different reed diffusers offer different lifespans, or lengths of time they emit fragrance. While these diffusers are pretty hands-off in terms of maintenance and use, they do eventually weaken in fragrance and use up all of their scented essential oils. In general, to extend the lifespan, you’ll want to flip the reeds over once each week. After about three months, the fragrance will have dissipated completely. However, depending on the size of the diffuser bottle, how much oil it contains, and the size or length of your reeds, you may be able to get another month or few weeks out of your particular diffuser. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ The disadvantages of reed diffusers can include them being not as potent as fragrance options like candles. They also need to be flipped regularly and the oil stains can stain surfaces if not handled carefully. Are reed diffusers better than plug-ins? Pet odors can be really strong, so the best reed diffuser for removing them will be any ones with rich scents. We recommend Neom Organics Happiness, as the zesty scent is perfect for refreshing any room. However, there isn’t a wide range of fragrance options; if you aren’t a fan of Capri Blue’s Volcano or two other scents, there’s not much else to choose from. Additionally, some customers note that if you have a smaller bedroom, the scent can be pretty strong. Overall, though, if it’s a familiar fragrance you want to bring right into your home, this potent diffuser delivers. This top-shelf kit is available in 21 fragrances. There's lemon-mint, apricot tea, Sicilian tangerine, grapefruit, birchwood pine, lemongrass-ginger, and Mediterranean fig—to name just a few. Many of the scents align with Nest's scented candles, soaps, and linen sprays, so you can use corresponding products throughout your home as needed. There's a lot to love about this reed-diffusing set. We only wish the price were a bit more accessible.

Larger diffusers with longer reeds, as well as more reeds per bottle, tend to offer longer scent lifespans and deliver a stronger scent throughout your space. The bigger the bottle, the more fragrance oil a reed diffuser can hold and disperse. Similarly, the more reeds you use–and the longer they are–the more reach the fragrance will have. Want to know why I invest in the best reed diffusers? Well, I'm a firm believer that the way your apartment/home/dorm smells is just as important as how it looks. Hence why I am obsessed with home fragrance — I'm Real Homes' resident expert, after all. We like Floral Street’s reed diffuser for small spaces only; the smaller size of the glass bottle means this diffuser holds less oil, which makes it less potent (and even imperceptible) in large rooms or open areas. It also runs more expensive, but due to the high-quality oil and cruelty-free nature, it’s a worthwhile investment for those who want to prioritize top-tier and sustainable ingredients.Reed diffusers work well in rooms that you want to keep scented nicely and often have bad odors that need removing, such as the kitchen or the bathroom. We like using reed diffusers in all rooms of the house though, switching between fragrances to set a different tone in each space. Should I flip reeds in a reed diffuser? How many reeds you should put in your diffuser depends on the size of your room and how strong you want the scent to be. The more reeds you put in, the more powerful the scent will be. Six is a good amount for all rooms, but eight would be better for those with larger spaces. How can I make my reed diffuser last longer?
