Scented Beads and Reed Diffuser Formulations

Here are formulations for making scented beads and reed diffusers, along with details on the ingredients and how to achieve a long-lasting fragrance.

Scented Beads

To make scented beads, you will need:

• Perfume beads, aroma diffuser beads, Solid Perfume: These beads are designed to absorb fragrance oil and slowly release it over time.
• Fragrance oil: Choose your desired scent.

Mixing Ratio:

Mix fragrance oil with the perfume beads at a ratio of approximately 20-30% fragrance oil to 70-80% perfume beads. Gently mix to ensure the beads are coated and absorb the fragrance. The beads will absorb the oil over about a day.

For Long-Lasting Scent:

The "Perfume beads, aroma diffuser beads, Solid Perfume" are specifically designed for long-lasting fragrance diffusion, lasting for months. Using a higher concentration of fragrance oil within the recommended range (up to 30%) will help ensure a stronger and potentially longer-lasting scent, depending on the specific fragrance oil used.

Reed Diffuser

To make a reed diffuser, you will need:

• Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1 or Type 2): This base helps dissolve the fragrance oil and allows it to travel up the reeds to diffuse the scent into the air.
  • Type 1: Has a weaker inherent scent, suitable for light fragrances.
  • Type 2: Is more economical and suitable for strong, clear fragrances.
• Fragrance oil: Choose your desired scent.
• Reed sticks: These absorb the scented liquid and diffuse the aroma.

Mixing Ratio:

Mix the Reed Diffuser Base with fragrance oil at a ratio of approximately 70-75% Reed Diffuser Base to 25-30% fragrance oil.

For Long-Lasting Scent:

• Use a higher percentage of fragrance oil within the recommended 25-30% range.
• Ensure the reed sticks are of good quality, designed for efficient diffusion.
• The type of fragrance oil significantly impacts how long the scent lasts. Fragrance oils with heavier base notes tend to last longer.

By using the appropriate base and a sufficient concentration of quality fragrance oil, you can create both scented beads and reed diffusers that provide a pleasant aroma for an extended period.
