Reed Diffusers which smell for more than 5 minutes?!

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.

I bought a Molton Brown on years ago and it was great, lasted ages and smelt lovely for months. I've not had the money to buy again so when I got some vouchers for Xmas I treated myself to another one. Think they must have changed the oils as it doesn't smell at all

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

Turning the reeds is important I agree!

I find the Aldi rip off ones of the Jo Malone scents really good.

A noticeable scent but not overpowering or overly artificial.

Our Neom one in the bedroom lasted about 9 months while I ignored it. I've never had a pricy one before (it was a gift) and was really impressed.

I also have a pretty one in the downstairs loo that I refill with oils I generally buy quite cheaply in the garden center. The scent doesn't last long if ignored, but I find what perks them up is days the radiator is on or its hot in summer. And turning the reeds over. About once a week I flip them and they get a new burst of life.

So i now buy cheap, put the diffuser close to a heat source, or a sunny window and while I'm cleaning nearby flip the reeds.

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!

I love both the Jo Manone ones and the Neom ones both keep their scent really well. I have neom air diffuser in my bedroom but the normal reed one in the downstairs loo, love it.
