I’m actually researching making my own. Mostly cos I don’t like the synthetic smell of the shop ones.

It’s really simple; it’s literally just a matter of adding a few drops of your preferred essential oil(s) to a carrier oil.

Make sure you are flipping the reeds every so often, and replace if needed.

I’m going to be that person and at you can make your own with a carrier oil and a few drops of essential oil and then you can make them as strong as you like.

There’s an AMAZING one they sell at the really nice service station (!) up by - westMoreland!

it’s the myrtle and bitter orange one. Lasts weeks. https://www.purelakes.co.uk/pages/channel-4-a-lake-district-farmshop

Aldi pomegranate (no 3 I think) is good. About £3.50. Similar to Jo Malone
