Reed diffusers provide continuous, flame-free diffusion via natural capillary action. Correct maintenance ensures consistent sillage and double the lifespan.
Initial Setup and Reed Regulation
Uncap the bottle, remove the inner plug, and insert the diffuser sticks into the oil. Allow reeds to absorb the essence for a few hours, then flip them. In smaller spaces, 3-4 reeds suffice, whereas spacious rooms benefit from 5-6 reeds.
Using excessive sticks accelerates evaporation without improving scent perception.
Flipping Schedule and Room Placement
Invert the reeds once or twice weekly to refresh diffusion. Keep diffusers away from direct sunlight, heating radiators, or high-velocity draft paths to prevent premature evaporation.
To maximize fragrance longevity and sillage, apply right after a shower onto hydrated pulse points (neck, inner wrists, and inner elbows). Avoid rubbing wrists together as it crushes delicate top notes.
