Description
A reed diffuser holding 200ml of scented oil in a hand blown recycled glass bottle, with six reeds. The bottle is squat and round-bodied, 13cm tall, drawn in sharply above the shoulder to a short neck that flares at the lip. The glass is mottled rather than even, running pale gold through the neck into a deeper amber across the body with rust-brown streaks where the colour has pooled. The scent is neroli, rose and jasmine over oakmoss and cedarwood.
The bottle itself is small, but the reeds stand well clear of it, so this wants a surface with height above it rather than a shelf under a cupboard: a hall table beside the front door, a window ledge, the end of a chest of drawers. Reeds throw scent by evaporation, so a spot out of a draught and away from a radiator keeps it steady for longer, and a doorway or a landing will move the scent further through a house than a closed room will. Allow a day or two after the reeds go in before the room smells of it.
The vessel is recycled glass, blown by hand by makers in India, and the oil is a natural base drawn from renewable sources and filled by hand in the United Kingdom. The fragrance itself was developed by a family-run perfumery with roots in Grasse. Because each bottle is blown individually, the mottling and the depth of the yellow differ from one to the next. The bottle outlasts the oil and can be kept as a small vase once the diffuser is finished.

Frequently Asked
How long does it last?
Between two and four months. Room temperature, direct sunlight and air currents all speed the oil up, so a warm or draughty spot will shorten it.
How many reeds are included?
Six. The more of them you stand in the bottle, the stronger the scent.
How soon will the room smell of it?
Allow 24 to 36 hours after the reeds go in.
What does it smell of?
Neroli, rose and jasmine over oakmoss and cedarwood.
How do I look after it?
Turn the reeds every week or two to keep the scent up. Stand the bottle on a plate or a saucer, because the reeds saturate over time and the oil will mark what is under them, and keep the reeds clear of paint and delicate surfaces. Wipe up any spill straight away.
