If you’re searching for a simple yet elegant way to keep your home smelling amazing all day — reed diffusers are your best friend. Unlike candles or sprays, they require no flame, no electricity, and provide a continuous, subtle aroma that enhances your space 24/7.
At Alex & Coco, we believe fragrance transforms a house into a sanctuary. Here’s everything you need to know about making the most of your reed diffuser.
🌿 What Is a Reed Diffuser?
A reed diffuser consists of a glass bottle filled with fragrance oil and several natural reeds. The reeds absorb the scented oil and release it into the air, slowly and evenly — offering a low-maintenance and flame-free way to scent your home.
They’re perfect for spaces like bedrooms, bathrooms, or offices — anywhere you want a gentle, consistent aroma that feels natural and inviting.
💧 How to Use a Reed Diffuser the Right Way
-
Choose the Right Spot
Place your diffuser in a well-ventilated area — ideally where air flows naturally, like near a window or hallway. This helps the fragrance circulate better throughout the room. -
Flip the Reeds Regularly
Every 5–7 days, flip your reeds to refresh the scent. Be careful not to spill the oil — it’s potent and can stain surfaces. -
Start with Fewer Reeds
For smaller rooms, start with 3–4 reeds. For larger areas or stronger scents, add up to 7–8 reeds.
(Pro tip: the more reeds you use, the stronger the scent — but the faster it will diffuse!) -
Keep Away from Direct Sunlight & Heat
Heat causes the oil to evaporate faster, shortening your diffuser’s life. Place it somewhere cool and shaded for longer-lasting fragrance. -
Refill When Needed
Most diffusers last 2–3 months. When the scent fades, replace the oil and use new reeds — old reeds can get clogged and won’t diffuse properly.
