Blackberry Bramble Glass Reed Diffuser 250ml - Burgundy & Green

This glass reed diffuser takes its name, Blackberry Bramble, from the hedgerow fruit printed all the way around it. The round bottle has a deep burgundy ground covered with dark blackberries, red raspberries, green leaves and tiny white blossoms, with an oval label at the front and a gold-coloured collar at the neck. Slim reeds rise from the collar to carry the scent into the room. It holds 250ml and measures 12cm tall, 7cm across and 7cm deep, a compact size that sits happily on a narrow shelf or mantelpiece without crowding it.

We like it in a hallway, where it greets everyone as they come in, on a living room bookcase or on a bedroom dressing table, anywhere you want a gentle fragrance with nothing to light or switch on. The dark ground and leafy print sit well with warm wood, soft neutrals and cosy country colours, and suit the autumn and winter months as naturally as late summer. With 250ml in the bottle there is a generous fill from the first day. It makes a thoughtful new home gift, a housewarming present that looks ready on the shelf the moment it is unwrapped.

The bottle is glass, printed with the berry design, and the gold-coloured collar holds the reeds upright in the neck. Turning the reeds over every so often is the usual way to freshen a reed diffuser, and standing it on a coaster or small tray keeps any drips from the reeds off wooden furniture. Dust the glass with a soft dry cloth to keep the print looking bright. For a gift, set it beside a card on the hall table; for your own home, group it with a few books and a jug of seasonal stems on the mantelpiece.
