FAQs

What is a reed diffuser and how does it work?
A reed diffuser is a simple and elegant way to disperse fragrance into your home. It consists of a bottle filled with scented oil and a set of reeds that are placed in the bottle. The reeds absorb the oil and release the fragrance into the air, creating a pleasant aroma in your space.

How do I choose the right scent for my reed diffuser?
Consider the atmosphere you want to create in your space. For a calming environment, scents like lavender or chamomile are ideal. If you want something energising, opt for citrus or mint fragrances. It’s also helpful to think about the size of the room; lighter scents work well in smaller areas, while more robust fragrances are suitable for larger spaces.

How often should I change the reeds in my diffuser?
It’s recommended to change the reeds every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how strong you want the fragrance to be. Over time, the reeds can become saturated and less effective at diffusing the scent, so replacing them will ensure you maintain a consistent aroma.

How can I make my reed diffuser last longer?
To extend the life of your reed diffuser, place it in a cooler room away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause the oil to evaporate more quickly. You can also flip the reeds every week or two to refresh the scent and allow for a stronger aroma.

Can I use any oil in my reed diffuser?
It’s best to use specially formulated diffuser oils designed for reed diffusers. Regular essential oils or other types of oils may not diffuse properly and can clog the reeds, reducing their effectiveness. Always check the product specifications before use.

Is it safe to use reed diffusers around pets?
Generally, reed diffusers are safe for use around pets, but it's important to choose pet-safe scents and avoid any oils that may be harmful. Always observe your pets' behaviour when introducing a new scent, and consult your vet if you're unsure about a specific fragrance.

How do I refill my reed diffuser?
When your reed diffuser is running low, you can refill it by carefully pouring the new scented oil into the bottle. Be sure to replace the reeds with new ones to ensure optimal diffusion and freshness. Clean the bottle thoroughly if you're switching scents to avoid mixing oils.

Where should I place my reed diffuser for the best effect?
To maximise the fragrance distribution, place your reed diffuser in an open area, such as on a table or shelf, where air can circulate freely. Avoid placing it in cramped spaces or near other strong odours that may compete with the scent of your diffuser.

Can I customise the scent of my reed diffuser?
Yes, you can customise your reed diffuser by blending different scents or using a combination of oils in the refill. Just make sure the oils are compatible; this allows you to create a unique fragrance that perfectly suits your style and preferences.
