Nest Fragrances Ocean Mist & Sea Salt Reed Diffuser (Blue Striped Glass)

How long does the fragrance last and how strong is the scent throw?

The reed diffuser provides approximately 90 days of continuous fragrance when used as directed. The scent strength is moderate and designed for gradual room fragrance rather than overwhelming intensity. The fragrance oils are formulated to release slowly and evenly, maintaining consistent scent levels throughout the entire duration. For stronger fragrance, flip the reeds weekly to refresh the scent distribution.

Can I refill the glass vessel when the fragrance oil runs out?

Yes, the glass vessel is designed for reuse and can be refilled with Nest Fragrances Reed Diffuser Liquid Refill products sold separately. Clean the vessel thoroughly with warm soapy water and allow to dry completely before adding new fragrance oil. Replace the reeds with each refill as used reeds become saturated and less effective at scent distribution.

What does Ocean Mist & Sea Salt actually smell like?

The fragrance captures a fresh coastal atmosphere with ocean mist as the dominant note, providing a clean aquatic base. Sea salt adds mineral freshness and slight salinity without being overpowering. White tea contributes subtle sophistication and lightness, whilst coconut undertones add warmth. The overall effect is reminiscent of a gentle sea breeze rather than heavy tropical or floral scents.

Is the glass vessel really hand-blown and are they all different?

Each vessel is genuinely hand-blown glass featuring blue striped patterns. The artisanal manufacturing process means variations in stripe placement, thickness and glass texture make every piece unique. These natural variations are part of the product's appeal and artistic value. The substantial glass construction provides durability whilst maintaining the handcrafted aesthetic that distinguishes it from mass-produced alternatives.

How do I set up and maintain the reed diffuser?

Remove the stopper from the glass vessel and insert all provided reeds into the fragrance oil. Allow 24-48 hours for the reeds to fully absorb the oil and begin scent distribution. Flip the reeds weekly to refresh fragrance intensity and ensure even oil absorption. Position away from direct sunlight and heat sources which can cause rapid oil evaporation.

What room size is this diffuser suitable for?

This reed diffuser works best in medium-sized rooms up to 20 square metres. Smaller spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms will have stronger fragrance presence, whilst larger open-plan areas may require multiple units for adequate scent coverage. The 812g oil volume and reed configuration are optimised for typical living rooms, bedrooms or office spaces.

Are there any safety considerations or warnings I should know about?

The fragrance oil may cause allergic skin reactions in sensitive people, so avoid direct skin contact. The product is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects, requiring proper disposal of used oils. Keep away from children and pets who might knock over or ingest the contents. Position on stable surfaces away from high-traffic areas to prevent accidental spillage.

How does this compare to candles or electric diffusers for home fragrance?

Reed diffusers provide continuous fragrance without electricity, flames or supervision requirements. Unlike candles, there's no fire risk or need to extinguish before leaving home. Compared to electric diffusers, reed systems operate silently without mechanical components that can fail. The 90-day duration offers better value than most candles whilst providing consistent scent strength without the intensity fluctuations of heated fragrance systems.
