Reed Diffusers which smell for more than 5 minutes?!

34 replies

Help! I need to smell something other than the dog.

What are the strongest/longest-lasting reed diffusers? I have a Neom electric one, but need something constant. I think the issue is I like light, fresh, scents and they don’t last long.

Another vote for Valentte. The Patchouli and Eucalyptus is superb. I keep going back for more and give them as gifts too.

Just to mention, a lot of reed diffusers will not be safe to use around your dog, and can make them quite ill, so please check first.

I got gifted a Valentte Reed diffuser for Christmas - strongest one I've ever had. I actually found it too much in our small bathroom!

We had this with Valentte. Lovely in the bigger rooms and a strong smell that lasts. If you use less reeds then they are lovely in small rooms too. 2 reeds were enough for our smallest bathroom

Rituals. I smelled it for months. It came in a beauty advent calendars but I think are about £35 and are definitely worth that price.

I was about to say the same. I got one in an advent calendar and put it in the ds loo and I swear the fragrance lasted until August. Then I just bought the refill fragrance.

As someone with 3 indoor cats, I can't recommend a Lampe Berger enough.
They get rid of the smells rather than masking them and really contribute to helping me keep a nice smelling home.

I light mine morning and night for 30 mins and also ensure I have plenty of fresh air flow too.

Which neom ones is everyone loving? I'm going to treat myself.

I got the happy one on sale and think it’s lovely

Rituals, the yellow one Rituals of Merh in particular smells amazing and you can always smell it in the room

I love the Arran ones too, After the rain is lovely.

The aldi "number" ones are one of the best I've had, for the price you really can't go wrong

St Eval are brilliant, 'expensive' smells and long lasting x

I came to say exactly this.

Flip the reeds every so often ( flicking excess fluid into the rug). Also, and vastly important, plug the gap between the reeds and the bottle with a bit of sponge and you’ll lose nothing to evaporation. And obviously place away from a radiator. They last ages then.

SkankingWombat · 23/01/2025 17:53

Ours are Habitat and maintain their smell well. Echoing PPs, you do need to flip the sticks every so often, and I have 2 different scents which I switch between every couple of weeks to avoid nose blindness.

Happyhippos123 · 23/01/2025 17:22

I got a Muji one for Christmas, it's going strong.

I'd save your money.
I've had a couple of Neom ones, and whilst I love the candles, I found the Reed diffusers very disappointing. I've had a better and longer lasting smell in my bathroom and landing from my little Glade liquid gel thing.

I have heard Rituals are very good, but I can't justify that price atm.

Ahh I got some Arran bath stuff for my Christmas from a friend, and I’ve just checked and it’s this fragrnace, and it is amazing! I’ve ordered this diffuser, thank you

I’ll save all the other responses for when I go nose blind to this one.

Thanks all!

I have had mine since November and only about a tenth has gone. They are good value. I too asked for all Arran stuff for Christmas. There is not one I don’t like.there shampoo is lovely.

Thingamebobwotsit · 23/01/2025 11:56

Another vote for Valentte. Was recommended them on here and most of their scents seem to last a good while as long as you remember to flip the sticks. They also do great refills.

Small independent who sells at local markets. Still using the diffuser I bought last Christmas, packed away, used again this Christmas. Still smelling strongly!

Aldi do a Lime, Basil and Madarin Jo Malone rip off that's lovely. They have a candle version too, which i leave the lid off of and it smells amazing.

After a while I think we all tend to go nose blind to the smells in our house though!
