Reed Diffusers

A reed diffuser is a simple and elegant way to fragrance a room. The diffuser consists of a bottle filled with scented oil and natural reeds, which draw the oil up and release the scent into the air. To use, simply insert the reeds into the bottle and wait for the fragrance to diffuse. The oil should be periodically flipped to refresh the scent. Reed diffusers are a low-maintenance and long-lasting alternative to candles, providing a constant and subtle fragrance for several months. They are also a safe option as there is no open flame. With a wide range of scents available, reed diffusers are a versatile and easy way to add a touch of luxury to any room.

Soap
