Description
A reed diffuser of 200ml, held in a hand blown bottle of recycled glass with a wide, low body that draws in sharply to a narrow neck and a small flared lip. The glass carries a frosted black finish, gritty and matt, lightening to grey where it runs over the shoulder and around the rim. Six black reeds come with it. The fragrance is cedarwood and fig: woody cedar, a smoky note running through it and honeyed fig underneath.
The neck is narrow enough to hold the reeds upright in a tight bundle, and at 13cm the bottle stands where a candle would, on a shelf, a hall table or the edge of a bath. It takes 24 to 36 hours from opening for the scent to reach across a room, and it runs for two to four months, though a warm room, direct sunlight or a draught will shorten that. Fewer reeds make it quieter and all six make it strongest, so the strength is set on the day rather than fixed. Once the oil has gone the bottle is meant to be kept and used as a small vase.
The oil is a blend of natural oils, patchouli and birch tar among them, made up and hand filled in the UK by a family owned fragrance house. The bottle is hand blown from recycled glass in India, so the shape and the run of the frosting differ from one to the next. A candle is made in the same fragrance and the same frosted black finish.

Frequently Asked
How long does it last?
Between two and four months. A warm room, direct sunlight and draughts all shorten it.
How many reeds come with it?
Six. The more of them used, the stronger the scent.
What does it smell of?
Cedarwood and fig: woody cedar with a smoky note through it and honeyed fig underneath.
How long before I can smell it?
Allow 24 to 36 hours from putting the reeds in.
Can the bottle be reused?
Yes. It is made to be kept and used as a small vase once the oil has gone.
How should I look after it?
Pour the oil in carefully and stand the bottle on a plate, because the reeds saturate over time and the liquid can mark a surface. Turn the reeds every one to two weeks to keep the scent going, and keep them off painted or delicate surfaces, which they can stain.
