Hydur Sahara Reed Diffuser Refill (500ml, Floral Oriental)

How long does the 500ml refill typically last?

The 500ml refill provides weeks of continuous fragrance depending on usage conditions. Factors affecting longevity include room temperature, humidity levels, number of reeds used and air circulation. Using all 6 reeds in a warm room will consume the oil faster than using fewer reeds in cooler conditions. Most users find the refill lasts 6-8 weeks with moderate use, making it excellent value compared to smaller bottles.

Can I control how strong the fragrance is?

Yes, you have complete control over fragrance intensity through reed management. Use all 6 included reeds for maximum scent throw in larger rooms or open-plan spaces. For subtler fragrance, use 3-4 reeds in smaller rooms or bedrooms. Turn reeds daily for stronger scent or weekly for milder fragrance. This flexibility allows you to customise the experience based on your preferences and room requirements.

What does the Sahara scent actually smell like?

Sahara combines bright mandarin citrus top notes with delicate rose and magnolia heart notes, finished with warm amber and oud base notes. The initial impression is fresh and citrusy, developing into elegant florals before settling into warm, sensual base notes. The overall effect evokes desert landscapes at dusk - exotic yet sophisticated, warm yet fresh. It's neither overpowering nor too subtle, striking a perfect balance for home use.

Will this work with my existing reed diffuser container?

This refill is compatible with most standard reed diffuser containers and bottles. The 500ml volume fits containers with appropriate capacity and the oil viscosity works well with standard reed sticks. If your existing container is smaller, you can store the remaining oil in the original bottle for future use. The included reeds ensure you have everything needed regardless of your current setup.

Is it safe to use around children and pets?

The product should be kept out of reach of children and pets as stated in the safety information. Do not apply topically or ingest the oil and avoid direct contact with eyes or skin. Place the diffuser in locations where curious children or pets cannot access it. The natural essential oil blend is safer than synthetic alternatives, but proper placement and handling remain important for household safety.

How do I set up the diffuser if I don't have a container?

You can use the original refill bottle as your diffuser container. Simply unscrew the cap and insert the 6 included reed sticks directly into the bottle opening. The bottle design accommodates this usage method, though you may want to place it on a stable surface away from high-traffic areas. This eliminates the need for a separate container whilst providing the same fragrance performance.

What's the difference between this and cheaper reed diffuser oils?

This refill uses all-natural essential oil blends rather than synthetic fragrances, providing more authentic and complex scent development. The 500ml volume offers better value than smaller bottles, whilst the carefully crafted Sahara fragrance profile demonstrates superior blending expertise. Natural ingredients also mean cleaner scenting without harsh chemical overtones, making it suitable for people sensitive to synthetic fragrances.

How often should I flip or replace the reed sticks?

Flip reed sticks every few days to refresh scent throw and prevent dust accumulation. The frequency depends on your desired fragrance intensity - daily flipping provides stronger scent whilst weekly flipping offers subtler fragrance. Replace reeds when they become saturated and stop drawing oil effectively, typically after 4-6 weeks of use. The included 6 reeds should last the duration of the 500ml refill under normal usage conditions.
