Reed Diffusers: The Classic Choice for Your Home
Reed diffusers are the most popular format for home fragrance: a bottle + fiber reeds that absorb and diffuse the fragrance for months, without flame or electricity.
How a Reed Diffuser Works
The reeds (rattan pith or synthetic fibers) absorb the fragrance through capillary action and release it into the air. The more reeds you insert, the more intense the result; periodically, you flip them to reactivate the intensity.
How to Choose the Right Diffuser
For small rooms (bathroom, entryway, 10-15 m²), a 100-250 ml size is sufficient. For living rooms and open spaces (25-50 m²), use 500-1000 ml sizes with more reeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a reed diffuser last?
On average, 5-7 months for 250 ml, up to 12 months for 500 ml or larger.
Can they be used in the bathroom?
Absolutely: it's one of the ideal environments for a reed diffuser.
How do I refresh a tired diffuser?
Flip the reeds over: the dry end will soak up new fragrance, and diffusion will restart.
