FAQs

What are reed diffusers and how do they work?
Reed diffusers are simple fragrance systems that consist of a glass container filled with scented oils and a set of reeds. The reeds absorb the oil and release the scent into the air through capillary action, providing a continuous and subtle aroma.

How can I choose a seasonal scent for my reed diffuser?
Consider the characteristics associated with different seasons. For example, opt for fresh citrus or floral scents in spring, warm spices or pumpkin in autumn, crisp pine or fir during winter, and refreshing ocean or tropical fragrances in summer.

How frequently should I replace the reeds or the oil in my diffuser?
It’s generally recommended to replace the reeds every month and the oil every three to six months, or when the scent begins to fade significantly. Regularly changing the reeds ensures optimal fragrance diffusion.

Can I customise the scent of my reed diffuser?
Yes, you can create a unique blend by combining different scented oils that appeal to you. Just ensure that the oils are compatible and safe to mix for use in a diffuser.

Are reed diffusers safe to use around pets and children?
Most reed diffusers are safe, but it's important to check the ingredients of the essential oils or fragrances used. Some oils can be harmful if ingested by pets or young children, so use them cautiously in shared spaces.

How can I maximise the scent throw of my reed diffuser?
To enhance the scent throw, place the diffuser in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. You can also adjust the number of reeds depending on your desired intensity; more reeds mean a stronger scent.

What should I do with my reed diffuser during seasonal transitions?
You can either change the fragrance to a more suitable seasonal scent or add complementary scents for a blend that represents both seasons. Just ensure you properly clean the container if switching fragrances.

Can reed diffusers be used outdoors?
While reed diffusers are primarily designed for indoor use, they can be utilized in sheltered outdoor areas. However, outdoor conditions such as wind and moisture can affect the diffusion process, leading to a weaker scent.

How do I dispose of my used reed diffuser?
When disposing of a reed diffuser, empty the remaining oil into a suitable receptacle and clean the glass container thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Ensure to recycle the container if possible, according to local guidelines.
