Reed Diffuser Formulation: Coffee Scent Separation Issue

You are experiencing separation when mixing coffee fragrance oil with a carrier oil for your reed diffuser. This is a common issue because standard carrier oils (like vegetable oils) are generally not suitable as a base for reed diffusers.

Normal carrier oils are often too viscous and do not properly dissolve fragrance or essential oils, leading to separation and poor wicking action by the reeds.

To make a reed diffuser, you typically need to use a specific "Reed Diffuser Base Liquid". These bases are formulated to:

• Be miscible with fragrance and essential oils without separating.
• Have the correct viscosity for the reeds to draw the liquid up effectively.
• Allow the fragrance to evaporate and diffuse into the air.

Therefore, the solution is to mix your coffee scent oil with a dedicated reed diffuser base liquid, not a standard carrier oil.

From the product search, "Coffee Roaster (Fragrance Oil)" was found as a potential coffee scent option that could be used.

Regarding the reed diffuser base, the search results might not have clearly shown a specific liquid base product. It is recommended to search for "reed diffuser base" or similar terms on the website to find a suitable liquid base product.

The typical mixing ratio for making a reed diffuser is around 15-30% fragrance or essential oil mixed with 70-85% reed diffuser base. However, the ideal ratio can vary depending on the strength of your fragrance and the specific base used. Always check the usage instructions for the base you choose.

In summary, what you need to add is a reed diffuser base liquid to ensure the coffee fragrance oil mixes well, does not separate, and diffuses properly through the reeds.
