Nest Fragrances Linen Reed Diffuser (175ml, Linen Scent)

How long does the fragrance last before needing replacement?

The 175ml bottle provides approximately 90 days of continuous fragrance release when used with the included reeds. The actual duration depends on factors like room temperature, humidity and air circulation. In warmer environments or areas with strong airflow, the fragrance may dissipate slightly faster. You'll notice the scent weakening gradually rather than stopping abruptly.

Can I control the fragrance intensity?

Yes, you can adjust the scent strength by varying the number of reeds used. Start with 3-4 reeds for subtle fragrance, or use all included reeds for maximum scent throw. Flipping the reeds weekly refreshes the fragrance output by exposing the saturated ends to air. Removing some reeds reduces intensity if the scent becomes too strong.

What does the linen scent actually smell like?

The linen fragrance recreates the clean, fresh aroma of laundered linens drying in a summer breeze. It combines crisp cotton notes with subtle floral undertones and a hint of outdoor freshness. The scent is clean and airy rather than heavy or perfumed, making it suitable for people who prefer subtle, natural-smelling fragrances over synthetic or overly sweet options.

Is this safe to use around children and pets?

The diffuser should be placed out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or spillage. The fragrance oils can cause skin irritation if touched directly, so avoid handling the saturated reeds. Ensure adequate ventilation when using, as concentrated fragrance exposure may cause sensitivity in some individuals. The alcohol-free formula is generally safer than alcohol-based alternatives.

How often should I replace or flip the reeds?

Flip the reeds weekly to refresh the fragrance output and prevent dust accumulation on the exposed ends. Replace the reeds entirely every 4-6 weeks or when they become completely saturated and stop drawing oil effectively. New reeds will restore optimal fragrance throw. You can purchase replacement reeds separately or use natural rattan reeds from craft suppliers.

Will this work in large rooms?

This 175ml diffuser works best in rooms up to 20 square metres. Larger spaces may require multiple diffusers or placement in central locations with good air circulation. The scent throw depends on ceiling height, ventilation and room layout. Open-plan areas may need strategic placement near seating areas or entrances for optimal fragrance distribution.

Can I refill the bottle when it's empty?

The glass vessel can be refilled with compatible fragrance oils, though Nest Fragrances doesn't sell separate refill oils for this specific scent. Clean the bottle thoroughly with warm soapy water and allow it to dry completely before adding new fragrance oil. Use oils specifically designed for reed diffusers, as regular essential oils may be too thick or lack proper carrier oils.

Why might the scent seem weak initially?

New reed diffusers need 24-48 hours to reach full fragrance output as the reeds gradually absorb and distribute the oil. The alcohol-free formula releases scent more slowly than alcohol-based versions, which can seem less intense initially. Some users become accustomed to the scent over time, a phenomenon called olfactory fatigue. Try leaving the room and returning to assess the actual scent strength.
