As the days grow longer and temperatures soar, many of us naturally reach for lighter, fresher scents to reflect the changing season. While candles are cosy and comforting in the winter, reed diffusers are often the go-to throughout the warmer months. They’re one of the easiest ways to enjoy summer home fragrance without lifting a finger.
Here’s why reed diffusers are the ultimate summer scent solution – and how to get the most out of yours...
Reed diffusers are a long-lasting, low-maintenance way to fill your home with fragrance- no flame, no fuss. Unlike candles, they don’t need to be lit, which makes them ideal for warmer days when you’re not looking to add extra heat to your space.
They work by slowly releasing scent into the air through natural reeds, meaning your
favourite fragrance is always present, even if you’re in and out of the house all day.
Reed diffusers work through capillary action – where the fragrance oil is drawn up through the reeds and evaporates into the air.
Flipping the reeds every week or so helps refresh the scent and stops the reeds from clogging.
To make the most of your diffuser, place it in a high-traffic area- like a hallway, on a
windowsill, or at the bottom of the stairs.
These spots benefit from constant airflow, which helps to carry the scent throughout your home.
The lifespan of your reed diffuser can be affected by the environment it’s in. Warm, humid rooms (like bathrooms with extractor fans) will cause the oil to evaporate more quickly.
If you’re placing a diffuser in a cooler, drier room, it’ll likely last much longer.
We include 5 reeds with every diffuser and refill. For a stronger scent, pop in all five. For a more subtle fragrance- or to help it last longer- use just 2 or 3.
It’s completely up to you!
Whether you’re after something zesty and uplifting for summer mornings or calming and clean for chilled evenings, reed diffusers are the perfect way to bring a subtle, consistent scent to your space all season long.
