NO. 6 - Sequoia Reed Diffuser 100ml

This is the No. 6 Sequoia reed diffuser: 100ml of scent liquid in a small brown glass bottle, 7cm across and 8cm tall, with five slim reeds, each 24cm long. The bottle is a plain rounded cylinder with a shiny collar at the neck and a neat paper label carrying the number and the scent name. A reed diffuser works by drawing the scented liquid up through the reeds, which release it into the air around them. There is nothing to light and nothing to plug in, and at 0.328KG it is light enough to move from room to room.

Being small, it suits the surfaces where space is tight: a bathroom shelf beside the basin, a gap on a bookshelf, or a side table in the living room. The maker expects it to last 8 to 12 weeks, depending on room temperature, humidity, ventilation and how many reeds you use. It is for anyone who likes a room to smell welcoming without having to remember to light anything each evening. It also arrives in its own tall brown box with the same number label, which makes it an easy present for a new home or a host.

The construction is simple: the materials are scent liquid, glass and paper, with the reeds standing in the liquid through the narrow neck. Care comes down to one point from the maker: the more reeds you use, the more scent you get. Put all five in for a fuller scent in a larger or busier room, or use fewer for a softer note in a small one, bearing in mind that the number of reeds also plays a part in how long the liquid lasts. For styling, the brown glass looks at home beside wood, stone and dried stems, and a low tray gives it a tidy spot on a crowded table.
