Reed Diffuser FAQs
Scent strength for reed diffusers will vary based on the fragrance blend. Some fragrance blends have strong scent note profiles and some have weaker note profiles, so the overall strength will depend on what blend you choose. That said, reed diffusers tend to be a lighter fragrance experience than candles or sprays. They work well as a soft background fragrance in rooms, a simple way to set-and-forget your ambient room fragrance. Scent strength will also depend on the number/type of reeds used, the size of the space you are placing them in, and environmental factors such as airflow, temperature, humidity and sunlight.
A 4 oz bottle lasts up to 4 months, depending on temperature, humidity, and the number of reeds used. Warmer, draftier rooms cause faster evaporation.
Our rule of thumb is one reed diffuser per 75-100 sf of space for a consistent background fragrance that you can smell, without overpowering inhabitants. This means that you’ll need more than one reed diffuser in larger areas, strategically placed around the room. In a small enclosed powder room, bathroom or hall, or bedroom, one reed diffuser is probably sufficient.
We provide fiber reeds with our diffusers, because they have a stronger scent throw that lasts longer than natural rattan reeds. Using more reeds in your diffuser gives more scent. You can also flip the reeds weekly. Placing in a small room with good air circulation helps disperse the aroma; for a larger space you will want more than one reed diffuser.
