Description
A 200ml reed diffuser in a hand blown recycled glass bottle, 13cm to the lip and 10cm across at its widest. The bottle swells out low and draws in to a narrow neck, with a band of fine vertical combing round the shoulder above the foot. The surface is speckled and mottled, reading silver in some lights and warm gold in others, and no two bottles carry it the same way. Six reeds go in through the neck.
The reeds stand about as far above the neck again as the bottle is tall, so it needs roughly 26cm of clear height wherever it goes: a hall table, a shelf inside a door, a windowsill out of direct sun. The narrow neck holds the reeds in a close upright bunch rather than letting them fan out. The scent is spiced mandarin with clove and a woody cinnamon behind it.
The oil is blended, and the bottles filled and packed, in the UK by a family run fragrance house, from natural diffuser oils with patchouli in the base. The glass is recycled and blown by hand in India, which is why each vessel differs. Once the oil has gone the bottle is made to be kept and used as a small vase. The same fragrance is also made as a candle.

Frequently Asked
How long does a reed diffuser last?
Between two and four months. Room temperature, direct sunlight and moving air all speed the oil up, so a warm sunny sill will finish it sooner than a cool hall.
How do I use a reed diffuser?
Take the cap off the oil and pour it carefully into the bottle, then stand the six reeds in it. Allow 24 to 36 hours for the scent to fill the room. The more reeds are used, the stronger it will be.
When should I turn the reeds?
Every one to two weeks. Turning them end for end brings the saturated part up and lifts the scent again.
What does it smell of?
Spiced mandarin and warming clove over woody cinnamon, with natural patchouli oil underneath it.
Does it need standing on anything?
Yes. The reeds take up oil over time, so stand the bottle on a plate or a tray, and keep the reeds clear of painted or delicate surfaces, which they can stain.
Can the bottle be reused?
Yes. Once the oil is finished, dispose of the reeds and any oil left safely, rinse the residue out and use the bottle as a small vase.
