How to Make a Reed Diffuser

To make a reed diffuser, you primarily need two main components:

1. Reed Diffuser Base: This liquid helps dissolve the fragrance oil and allows it to travel up the reeds to disperse the scent into the air.
2. Fragrance Oil: This provides the desired scent.

Basic Formula

A common formula for a reed diffuser involves mixing the Reed Diffuser Base with Fragrance Oil. A recommended ratio is:

• Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1): 70-75%
• Fragrance Oil: 25-30%

For example, you could use 70ml of Reed Diffuser Base and 30ml of Fragrance Oil for a total of 100ml.

You can choose various fragrance oils according to your preference, such as Jasmine Fragrance Oil or Neroli Fragrance Oil.

If you find that the fragrance oil separates from the base after mixing, you can try mixing the fragrance oil with a small amount of Ethyl Alcohol first before adding it to the Reed Diffuser Base.

Packaging

Suitable packaging for a reed diffuser typically includes:

• Glass Bottle: A glass bottle with a narrow neck is ideal to help control evaporation.
• Reed Sticks: These porous sticks absorb the liquid and diffuse the scent. Natural rattan or fiber reeds are commonly used.

Simply pour the mixed diffuser liquid into the bottle and insert the reed sticks. The sticks will soak up the liquid and release the fragrance into the room.
