Making a Reed Diffuser

Yes, your understanding of the main components is correct. To make a reed diffuser, you primarily need a Reed Diffuser Base and a fragrance oil (like "หัวน้ำหอม").

Regarding your proposed mixtures:

• Mixing Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) 70% with Calm Me Down 30% is a suitable starting point. The description for Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) recommends using the base at approximately 70-75% with 25-30% fragrance. So, a 70/30 ratio is within the recommended range and can be used directly.
• You asked about using Bescents A 30% with Reed Diffuser Base Type 1. I couldn't find specific information on a product named "Bescents A" in the search results. However, the general principle applies: you can mix any suitable fragrance oil with the Reed Diffuser Base. If you have a fragrance oil you want to use, you would mix it with the base, typically within the 25-30% fragrance range for the base.

General Steps to Make a Reed Diffuser

1. Measure: Carefully measure the desired amounts of Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) and your chosen fragrance oil (e.g., Calm Me Down). A common starting ratio is 70% base to 30% fragrance.
2. Mix: Pour the measured base and fragrance oil into a clean container. Stir gently to combine thoroughly.
3. Pour: Pour the mixture into your reed diffuser bottle.
4. Add Reeds: Place the reed sticks into the bottle. The reeds will soak up the mixture and diffuse the scent into the air. Flip the reeds occasionally (e.g., after a few hours initially, then weekly) to refresh the scent.

Tips for Long-Lasting Scent

• Use the recommended ratio of base to fragrance. Too little fragrance will result in a weak scent, while too much might not diffuse well or could clog the reeds.
• Choose good quality reeds. Natural rattan reeds are porous and work well.
• Place the diffuser in a location with good air circulation, but away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the liquid to evaporate too quickly.
• Flip the reeds regularly to keep the scent fresh.
• If the scent seems to fade over time, the reeds might be clogged. You can replace the reeds with new ones.

Reed Diffuser Base Type 1 is noted as having a weaker inherent scent compared to Type 2, making it suitable for fragrances that are light or easily disturbed, ensuring the fragrance oil's true scent comes through.

Feel free to experiment slightly with the fragrance percentage (within the 25-30% range) to find the scent strength you prefer.
