Aromaplan Reed Diffuser (Lifestyle Scent, 250ml)

How long does the 250ml reed diffuser last?

The 250ml capacity typically provides 6-8 weeks of continuous fragrance when used in standard room conditions. Factors affecting longevity include room temperature, humidity levels, air circulation and the number of reed sticks used. Higher temperatures and increased airflow will cause faster evaporation, whilst cooler conditions extend the diffusion period.

How many reed sticks should I use for optimal fragrance?

Start with 6-8 reed sticks for average-sized rooms up to 20 square metres. For stronger scent throw, add more sticks, but avoid overcrowding the bottle neck. Fewer sticks provide subtle fragrance, whilst more sticks increase intensity. You can adjust the number based on your preference and room size.

Where should I position the reed diffuser for best results?

Place the diffuser in areas with gentle air circulation such as hallways, near doorways, or on side tables away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid positioning near radiators, windows, or air conditioning vents as extreme temperatures affect oil evaporation rates. Central locations provide better scent distribution throughout the room.

Can I flip or rotate the reed sticks?

Yes, flip the reed sticks every 1-2 weeks to refresh the fragrance intensity. When flipping, handle carefully to avoid spillage and wipe any oil residue from the sticks' exterior. This process reactivates the scent throw by exposing fresh reed surfaces to the oil, maintaining consistent fragrance levels.

Is the glass bottle refillable with other fragrances?

The glass bottle can be cleaned and reused with compatible reed diffuser oils. Thoroughly clean with warm soapy water, rinse completely and dry before adding new fragrance. Replace the reed sticks when changing fragrances to prevent scent mixing and ensure optimal performance with the new oil.

What safety precautions should I follow?

Keep the diffuser away from children and pets, avoid contact with skin and eyes and ensure adequate ventilation. Place on stable surfaces away from fabrics and finished wood that oil might stain. If oil spills occur, clean immediately with appropriate solvents. Store in cool, dry conditions away from heat sources.

How do I control the fragrance intensity?

Adjust intensity by varying the number of reed sticks used. More sticks create stronger fragrance, fewer provide subtle scenting. You can also trim reed sticks shorter to reduce surface area and decrease scent throw. Room size, temperature and air circulation also influence perceived fragrance strength.

What makes this different from electric diffusers?

Reed diffusers operate without electricity, making them silent and suitable for bedrooms or quiet spaces. They provide continuous fragrance without timers or settings, require no maintenance beyond occasional stick flipping and pose no fire risk. The natural evaporation process creates consistent scent levels without the mist or heat of electric alternatives.
