Question

I am trying to make a reed diffuser but am having issues with the scent not diffusing well. Could you provide a recommended formula and tips on how to achieve better scent diffusion?

Answer

Reed Diffuser Formula and Tips

Thank you for your question regarding making reed diffuser perfume. We understand you had issues with scent diffusion in your previous attempt.

We now have Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) available, which is suitable for making reed diffusers.

Recommended Formula

The formula recommended by our staff is a good starting point:

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

This base is designed to help dissolve the fragrance oil and facilitate its diffusion through the reeds, without leaving residue.

Tips for Better Scent Diffusion

If you find the scent is still not strong enough, consider the following:

  • Fragrance Quality: Ensure the fragrance oil you are using is specifically designed for reed diffusers or home fragrance products and is of good quality.
  • Reed Quality: The type and quality of the reeds significantly impact diffusion. Use high-quality reeds designed for diffusers.
  • Environment: Room size, ventilation, and temperature can affect how well the scent spreads.
  • Base Type: The Reed Diffuser Base (Type 1) is recommended, especially if your fragrance is light, as it is designed not to interfere with the scent. If using a very strong fragrance, Reed Diffuser Base (Type 2) might also be an option (though Type 1 is generally preferred for optimal scent clarity).

Mix the fragrance oil directly with the Reed Diffuser Base according to the recommended ratio. If you encounter separation, you can try mixing the fragrance with a small amount of Ethyl Alcohol first before adding it to the base, as mentioned in the product description for the base.

We hope this helps you create a beautifully scented reed diffuser!
