One of the most recent trends in the home fragrance market sees the growing popularity of reed diffusers. In this post, I'd like to go over some of the advantages, misconceptions about, and offer up some tips on using reed diffusers. First off, it's clear to see why reed diffusers are becoming so widely available and popular among those who like to fragrance their home, office or lodging during travel. Reed diffusers are: * Flame-less compared with candles, so the risk of fire is extinguished (pun intended) * Fragrance is always 'on.' In a good diffuser, the reeds are constantly emitting your favorite scent into the environment * There's no use of petroleum/paraffin (as in candles), so it's a much 'greener' way to enjoy fragrance * A great value, since you're getting 24/7 fragrance which typically lasts 2-3 months.... * Part of your interior decor, as visible or invisible as you'd like the diffuser to be...simply put it on your coffee table, or hide it behind a picture frame, it will still be working for you Now, since there's a lot of misinformation floating around about how to best use your reed diffuser, here are a few helpful tips: * When you desire more fragrance, you should flip your reed sticks over in the bottle. This helps to stimulate the diffusion process. Additionally, when you first open your diffuser, you should allow the sticks to soak and get saturated at least 10-15 minutes before flipping them for the first time. This will help kick start the diffusion process. * The more often you flip your reeds, the more fragrance you'll diffuse, but you'll also consume the oil at a faster rate. * Put fewer reeds into the bottle to decrease the strength of fragrance. You might want to do this in a smaller room, such as a bathroom, where too much fragrance might be overpowering in a small space. Remember, you can customize, to an extent, how much fragrance you want by increasing/decreasing the amount of reeds used and how often you flip them. * As an ongoing practice, when you flip your reeds, you should also 'swish' your oil around in the bottle a few times. This is because the diffusing ingredients (mainly alcohol) will tend to rush to the top to evaporate first. As the bottle sits over time, weaker evaporating ingredients will settle towards the bottom of the bottle and by the time you have 20-30% fluid left, it will start to diffuse slower than previous. Casually keeping the ingredients blended by 'swishing' will at least help to avoid this. * When you sit the diffuser near an air flow such as a ceiling fan or air conditioner vent, the scent will spread better, but the reeds will dry out faster. By nature, reeds want to stay moist and will attempt soak up oil faster. The bottom line is that you'll use your oil faster when placing the diffuser near an air flow. * Placing the diffuser in a hot room will use up the fragrance oil faster. Any room continually at 80 degrees or abov
