Consider the Size of Your Space

Before selecting a reed diffuser, consider the size of the room and the effect you want to achieve. For larger areas like living rooms or open-plan spaces, a reed diffuser with a robust fragrance may be needed. The Midnight Jasmine Reed Diffuser offers a rich, floral scent perfect for filling larger rooms.

Alternatively, for smaller, more intimate spaces such as bedrooms or bathrooms, opt for a lighter, fresher fragrance. Our Fresh Linen Reed Diffuser provides a soft, calming aroma ideal for these areas.

Match the Fragrance to Your Mood

Each fragrance sets a different mood. For a lively, energising scent, the White Grapefruit Reed Diffuser is a fantastic choice. Its fresh, citrusy notes can invigorate your senses, making it perfect for spaces where you want to feel more awake and refreshed.

If you prefer something warm and inviting, consider the scents available in our Reed Diffusers collection to find the perfect match for your desired atmosphere.

Sustainability and Longevity

Sustainability may also play a role in your decision. To ensure long-lasting use, consider diffuser refills. Our Reed Diffuser Refills collection allows you to refresh your favourite scents without the need for a new bottle.

For those who have already fallen in love with certain aromas, the White Grapefruit Reed Diffuser Refill 200ml and Sweet Clementine Reed Diffuser Refill 200ml are perfect for topping up your existing diffuser.

How long can I expect a reed diffuser to last?
The lifespan of a reed diffuser varies based on factors such as the size of the bottle and the number of reeds used. Generally, a standard diffuser can last anywhere from one to six months. You can extend its life by flipping the reeds less frequently.

Can I customise the scent of my reed diffuser?

Are reed diffusers safe for pets and children?

How often should I replace the reeds in my diffuser?
It is advisable to replace the reeds every four to six weeks or when you notice that the scent has significantly diminished. Fresh reeds will help enhance the fragrance's intensity and ensure even distribution.

What is the best way to maintain my reed diffuser?
To maintain your diffuser, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Flip the reeds periodically to refresh the scent, and avoid over-saturating the reeds to prevent spills.

Can I use a reed diffuser in a bathroom?
Absolutely! Reed diffusers are an excellent choice for bathrooms as they provide a continuous scent without the need for flames or heat. Just ensure the fragrance is light and refreshing to complement the space.

What types of fragrances are best for different rooms?
For living areas, consider warm and inviting scents like vanilla or sandalwood. In kitchens, citrus and herbal fragrances can help eliminate odours. For bedrooms, opt for calming scents like lavender or chamomile to create a relaxing environment.
