Reed Diffusers
« on: June 16, 2021, 02:32:36 PM »

Hi
Wondering if anyone can recommend a good reed diffuser, nothing too expensive.  I have tried several but they dont seem to keep their scent for long.  I know the Jo Malone ones are meant to be really good but far too expensive.  Any nice alternatives?

I had one given me last year: 3 reeds into a pot of oils - stood in a room we don't use with that door open, it wafted for 3 months.  I shook it occasionally.

Can't remember the name. I don't think that many last unless the reeds are particularly thick.  Probably gets what you pays for?  If a Jo Malone lasts longer ......... is it for you or a gift?

It's just for me to sit in front hallway.  Jo Malones are about £65.00!!

Criky - buy pots of lavender, about to come into flower?  Brushed each time you pass by?  Another on the bathroom windowsill. They can be planted into the garden/pots in Sept. ;-)

Aldi do the copies of the Jo Malone diffusers.  No.1. From there is really nice and costs about £4

I really like the Skandinavisk range - which seem to last really well and give out a lovely scent (particularly if you turn the sticks every so often).  I cheat and buy the refill - and put it into an old bottle with the new reeds - which takes about a third off the price.  I also only use about half the reeds - as then it seems to last twice as long.

The Koto reminds me of that lovely scent of left-over amber/vanilla perfume that sometimes lingers.  I've got another which smells just like fresh sheets which is lovely in the bedroom.

Thanks, I'll have a wee look at the Scandinavisk ones.
