Balance Pink Pepper, Geranium & Amber Diffuser 220ml - Off White

This off white reed diffuser holds a pink pepper, geranium and amber fragrance, with the word BALANCE across the front near its base. The bottle has a soft frosted finish and a rounded shoulder that narrows to a short neck, closed by a pale tapered stopper with a small lotus motif pressed into it. Slim reeds rise from the centre of the stopper, drawing the fragrance up and letting it drift gently into the room with no flame and no plug. It measures 14.5cm high and 6cm wide and deep, a neat size for a narrow shelf or bedside table.

With no wick to trim and nothing to switch on, it suits the places where a candle is less practical: a hallway console, a bookshelf in the living room, a bedroom chest of drawers or the corner of a home office desk. The off white finish is easy to place, sitting comfortably against painted walls, natural wood and soft neutral furnishings alike, and its 6cm footprint takes up little room on a crowded surface. We find it works as well in a room people pass through as in one where they settle for the evening. A 220ml fill is a generous amount of fragrance for a single bottle.

Settle the reeds into the bottle and give them time to draw up the fragrance. Turning them over every so often refreshes the scent when it begins to soften. Stand it on a level, stable surface away from direct sunlight and heat, and wipe up any drips at once, as fragrance oil can mark polished or painted finishes. The outside of the bottle can be dusted with a soft dry cloth. For a pleasing arrangement, group it with a trailing plant or a stack of books, or let it stand alone where the word BALANCE can be read. Wrapped in tissue, it makes an easy, considered gift.
