Description
This is a compact reed diffuser with a balsam and cedar scent, holding 88.7ml of scented liquid in a clear glass bottle. The bottle is 8cm across and 7cm tall, a low, rounded shape that steps in at the shoulder to a collar where the reeds gather, and the reeds themselves are 23cm long, so they fan out well above the bottle. Clear glass has a practical advantage on a diffuser: you can see at a glance how much liquid is left, so you know when it is running low.
A reed diffuser needs no flame and no plug, so it can sit almost anywhere you want a little scent: a bathroom shelf, a hallway console, a bedside table or the back of a desk. At 8cm across it takes little room, which makes it a natural fit for a small bathroom, a cloakroom or a guest bedroom, where a larger piece would crowd the surface. Balsam and cedar both call to mind evergreen woods, so the scent name suits the colder months and a home that leans towards woody, outdoorsy notes. It also makes an easy gift for a host, a new home or a friend who prefers forest scents to florals.
The construction is simple: a glass bottle with a rounded collar at the neck that holds the reeds upright and keeps them gathered, and the diffuser arrives in a printed box, ready to give. Reed diffusers work by drawing the liquid up through the reeds, which release the scent into the air as it evaporates; turning the reeds over now and then brings fresh liquid to the top when the scent seems to fade. It weighs 0.34KG, light enough to move from room to room. We like it on a small tray or a stack of books on a shelf, where the clear glass and the fan of reeds catch the light.
