Reed Diffusers

Reed Diffusers are popular home fragrance products that allow aroma to continuously diffuse into the air throughout an entire room or area. Compared to scented candles, reed diffusers produce fragrances that usually last longer and don't require an open flame. 

While they come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, all reed diffusers have 3 main components:

1. Fragrance oil (usually a simple mixture of essential oils and a base solution)
2. Reed sticks (which soak up the oil and disperse the scent)
3. Vessel (usually in the form of glass bottle that holds the oil and reeds)

The aromatic fragrance oil, which often contains a blend of various essential oils, is placed inside the glass vessel of the reed diffuser. 

Reed sticks, traditionally made from natural rattan reeds, are also placed into the vessel so that one end is submerged in the fragrance oil while the other end is exposed to the air. The reeds contain small pores that allow the fragrance oil to be absorbed and travel towards the top half of the stick. 

As the oil reaches the part of the reed that’s outside of the bottle, it evaporates and releases the scent molecules into the air. 

As a result, reed diffusers provide a constant, fresh scent that’s especially great for places like bathrooms and foyers, where you want to maintain that wonderful smell all the time without the need to keep an eye on a lighted candle.
