How we review the best reed diffusers

The majority of these reed diffusers have been tested by staffers Annie Collyer and Jaclyn Turner, as notated by a star rating. Both consider factors such as the unboxing experience, product quality, the longevity of the scents, room coverage, and if a refill is available. Both regularly place them in different-sized rooms from the bathroom to bedrooms and an open living space to see how the scent fills and smells in the different spaces. 

We acknowledge that scent is majorly subjective, but it helps to know the type of scents you personally prefer, whether you like sweet and fruity or musky and spicy. Annie's description of the scents she tested should help inform you of what you can expect it to smell like.  

As there are countless home fragrances available, we also invite you to explore the other scents from the brands we've included, as we endorse them based on our experience with their products. 

For more insight into our hands-on review process, refer to our how we test review guidelines.  

Ecommerce Editor

Jaclyn Turner is our eCommerce editor. She loves reed diffusers for their ability to provide continuous fragrance with minimal upkeep and thinks the vessel design is just as important as the scent. She typically gravitates toward fruity and floral scents, with the Capri Blue Volcano being a long-time favorite, but has been starting to lean into moodier and spicier aromas, like the Nest Holiday or Voluspa Baltic Amber. 

Ecommerce Editor, Real Homes

Annie Collyer, Head Ecommerce Editor is forever testing a new reed diffuser in her two-bedroom apartment. While testing these reed diffusers, Annie makes sure to move them around her home before finding a space in which they are most suitable for sitting. Annie usually tests reed diffusers until they are fully empty, otherwise, she will make her decision after a few weeks of use. 

What to consider when buying a reed diffuser

Choose your scent wisely
Selecting a reed diffuser means finding a scent that complements your space — and the mood you are trying to create. We recommend buying a reed diffuser to replicate the season. It's worth noting that rich scents like wood and spices usually warm up a room making these scents great for winter and fall, whereas fresher scents like mint, apple, and citrus will cool a space.  Use these fragrances in the spring and summer.

Which room your new diffuser will be living inside?
The majority of people like to place a reed diffuser in a living room, where they spend lots of their time, or an entryway to flood all of their rooms with a subtle fragrance. Otherwise, a reed diffuser works well in a bathroom for a constant aroma, and to balance odors.

Are refills available?
Unlike candles, the majority of reed diffusers can simply be refilled once the fragrance has finished, to help save the environment and to save you a little money. Be sure to check that the reed diffuser you've picked can be refilled, otherwise, if you like it, you'll have to buy the entire vessel time after time, instead of just a bottle of the fragrance. 

How often does a reed diffuser need to be changed? 

On average, a person will need to replace a reed diffuser's sticks every six months. Specific circumstances might call for substituting them sooner, or they might exceed six months. But in most cases, that is the duration you should be thinking and a good rule of thumb to follow. 

It would be a smart idea to check, before buying, that the reed diffuser you would like to buy comes with refills available. This will mean that you need only buy the vessel once, and then you can refill it forever with your favorite fragrance. Saving the planet – and a little money.

Searching for a new scent for fall and winter? We're way ahead of you with our guide to the best reed diffusers to buy right now. Yes, we've already tried and tested a bunch of warm, spicy, and woody fragrances so that you can buy online with peace of mind. And they come from some of the forerunners in home fragrance including Nest New York and Neom.

A reed diffuser is a brilliant way to scent your home, with little to no effort required from you. Simply pop the reeds into the oil and place the diffuser in the middle of a room. Add more reeds for a stronger fragrance, and flip them for a boost if you've got guests coming over or if you feel you can't smell it anymore. Otherwise, they're much safer to use around pets and kids than a scented candle. Plus, they emit fragrance all day long to ensure your rooms smell lovely day in and day out.

Our reed diffuser tester Annie has taken her time to use each of the diffusers listed below in her apartment. Afterward, if you're struggling to choose, then some of these fragrances come in candle form as well as room sprays and wax melts. See all the best home fragrances in our buyer's guide.

Real Homes review process

(Image credit: Future)

The majority of these reed diffusers have been tested by our home fragrance expert and head ecommerce editor, Annie Collyer. Annie has had hands-on experience with nine out of 10 of these reed diffusers in this list, in order to form her opinion and compare these fragrances. Otherwise, in the case that one of these reed diffusers isn't available in the UK, we solicited help from some of our US colleagues.

See our dedicated page for more information on how we test products at Real Homes. Meet our reed diffuser testers below:

Head ecommerce editor

Our head ecommerce editor Annie Collyer is forever testing a new reed diffuser in her two-bedroom apartment in London, which she shares with her husband, dog, and house rabbit. While testing these reed diffusers, Annie makes sure to move them around her home before finding a space in which they are most suitable for sitting. Annie usually tests reed diffusers until they are fully empty, otherwise, she will make her decision after a few weeks of use. Her favorite has to be Rituals' The Ritual of Sakura reed diffuser.

Editor, Homes & Gardens

Jaclyn Turner is an editor at our sister site Homes & Gardens. She tested the Archipelago Botanicals Fragrance Diffuser for us in her medium to large size bedroom. She buys these reed diffusers time and time again. Not only because they are long-lasting, but because she loves fruity smells and the Mango Tangerine fragrance in particular is sweet and refreshing and never overwhelming. Not to mention the high-end bottle that looks great on display in her room, too.

What is the best reed diffuser?

There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the best reed diffuser, simply because everyone in the world has different scent preferences. There's also the added factor of the time of the year as some fragrances are deemed more suitable for use in colder weather, and other scents are more fitting for spring and summer.

Our top pick for right now, and for fall in general, has to be The White Company's Fireside Diffuser . It's impressively powerful yet never over the top, and perfect for scenting living rooms or bedrooms. It mimics the smell of a roaring fireplace, minus the effort required from you. Bear in mind that this fragrance is only sold at certain times of the year.

If you are searching for a great all-rounder, then the Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Reed Diffuser is our top option. It's powerful and oriental to wow your senses.

For spring and summer, we would suggest opting for a floral, fruity, or sweet fragrance such as Noble Isle's Rhubarb Rhubarb! Reed Diffuser or Archipelago Botanicals' Mango Tangerine Fragrance Diffuser.

How to use a reed diffuser

Reed diffusers are easy and best of all: safe to use to scent your home. All you need to do is take your reed diffuser out of its packaging, remove its cork or unscrew its lid, or in some cases, you might have to pour the liquid into the vessel. Add half of the reeds to the fragrance oil and place it in the center of your room. Add reeds as necessary, depending on how strong you would like the scent to be. The more reeds you add, the faster the fragrance oil will use up, and the stronger the scent will be.

You'll want to flip your reeds every now and then, for a fragrance boost. Time-wise this completely depends on the reed diffuser – some need their reeds flipped every few days, others only once a week.

5 things to think about when choosing a reed diffuser

1. Is it refillable?
With candles, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Not so with reed diffusers, which can be topped up with new fragrance oil when it's run out. Just make sure that when you buy a diffuser refill you discard your old reeds, as they’ll be saturated with all the scent they’ve soaked up from the first round of oil and won’t soak up any more.  

2. Think about scents you normally like
So now you know why to buy a diffuser, which one should you buy? If you don’t know what you like, choosing a fragrance can be the hardest part of shopping for a scent diffuser, but looking for individual scent families is a good place to start. Florals are fairly self-explanatory, and while some of them might get a bad rap for being overdone or cloying, our floral picks are all combined with fruity and fresh notes to keep things modern. For a more unexpected home fragrance, consider something from the woody or spicy families, or on the other end of the spectrum, a fresher, 'greener' scent.

3. Check its size and lifespan
We've listed the size of each reed diffuser above. The larger the diffuser, the longer it will last. And don't forget that the more reeds in the fragrance, the quicker it will empty. Plus, the more often you flip the reeds the quicker the fragrance will need to be refilled or replaced, too. It's worth bearing this in mind when looking at the price of a reed diffuser – when will you next need to pay to refill or replace it?

4. Consider the look of its vessel
Make a point to buy a reed diffuser that will fit in with your home decor, because it will have to be placed in the centre of a room. Also be sure to consider if this vessel is recyclable after use and if not then you might want to ensure refills are available so that you needn't throw away the vessel after use.

5. Does it come in more than reed diffuser form?
If you like your home to smell the same, from one room to the other, then be sure to check whether the reed diffuser you have picked comes in other forms. Think candles, wax melts, room sprays...

Are reed diffusers safe for pets?

Love a reed diffuser, but heard about the potentially toxic effects on your pet? It's not just scaremongering: animals have a much stronger sense of smell than us and can be overwhelmed by strong scents. Diffusers can be particularly bad for dogs if they contain certain oils. Moreover, if they are exposed to strong perfume over long periods of time, it can make them ill by damaging their livers. Here are some solutions:

1. Limit the use of your reed diffuser to parts of the house your pet doesn't spend much time in, for example, your home office or bathroom. 

2. If you do want to keep using a reed diffuser in the main room, keep the space well ventilated and allow your pet access to the outdoors. Consider putting the diffuser away for the night. 

3. Some natural fragrances are safe for pets, notably the oils of rose, jasmine, and lavender (we mean only to inhale, of course, never to ingest). Look out for natural and organic reed diffusers that use these calm florals, and avoid anything citrus or pine fragranced. 

As far as safety is concerned otherwise, reed diffusers are a better bet than candles that mustn’t be left burning unattended. Also, they don’t ‘tunnel’, which is the frustrating phenomenon where candles burn in a hole down the center, leaving loads of unused wax along the sides.

How to preserve a reed diffuser for later

(Image credit: Future)

If you've bought a reed diffuser to be used at a certain time of the year, for example, The White Company's Fireside Diffuser for fall, then there's a way that you can preserve the fragrance for next year, if you haven't used it all in the time it's most fitting for.

We often do this with our reed diffusers to save them for the next use, and so that we can switch up the scent of our home every few months. All you need is some saran wrap (preferably recyclable to be kinder to the environment) and also a sealable sandwich bag.

It's worth us noting that this only works with reed diffusers that have collars. Here's what to do to preserve your reed diffusers:

1. Remove your reeds, run them under water and dry them with a paper towel. Place them in a sealable sandwich bag and pop them somewhere safe. You might want to label this bag with the fragrance name if you are doing this with several reed diffusers.
2. Cut off a generous amount of cling film to cover the hole of the reed diffuser that the reeds usually sit inside.
3. Screw off the reed diffuser's collar and cover the hole with saran wrap.
4. Screw back on the collar and make sure that the cling film is held on.
5. Store with the reeds, ready for use next year.

Fragrance, aesthetics, fashion: choosing the best diffusers of 2022-2023

If you bought into the once thrown rumor that diffusers are needed only as an air freshener in the toilet, we hasten to assure you - you are deeply mistaken. In fact, this is a whole world of aromas that can relieve you of stress and tension, set the right atmosphere and even improve immunity. How to choose your diffuser, we understand the article.

There are different diffusers: electric and independent

Open your notebooks, now there will be a theory. If upon closer inspection you see something in common between diffusers and fans, then this is quite understandable. The diffuser has the following heating principle : a powerful jet of air directionally blows off the essential oil, spraying it into the space .

Independent diffusers cannot boast of such pressure, but they are simpler. The intensity of the scent sprayed here is controlled by the number of sticks placed in a glass or ceramic vessel. Moreover, sticks are not just brushwood from the forest, but quite a civil means, with which the fragrance is distributed. You can buy them together with a diffuser in a couple of clicks - and you don't have to go to the forest.


What kind of liquid is used in diffusers?

There are two fluids, one oil based and one alcohol based. The aroma in the first case will be soft and unobtrusive, the evaporation will flow more slowly, so this liquid will last about eight weeks. The second option is much richer in smell, but the evaporation of alcohol will be more intense.

Which liquid you choose also determines which sticks to buy. For example, reed is suitable for alcohol base, and fiberglass is suitable for oil.


Choose yours

You don't have to have exceptional taste buds or be an aromatic sommelier to find just the right scent for you. However, can make your search a lot easier if you know the rules of .

Most often, fragrances are selected based on what is the purpose of the owners of the apartment . This rule is not the strictest law and is purely advisory in nature, however, is often used by interior designers.

It is important not to choose too sweet, cloying aromas in the apartment. Headache, pressure and even allergies in this case can interfere with rest. If you are afraid to make a mistake, , you should first try a scented candle with a similar scent to , and then move on to a diffuser.


Instructions for use

Of course, there is none, but there is something else - the rules. For example, before using the diffuser, it is important to ventilate the room well. So will be able to recognize the smell without any additions of .

One of the biggest advantages of a diffuser over candles is that you don't have to keep an eye on it. Just leave it anywhere in the apartment and you can no longer remember. But it is important to know that0003 direct sunlight will increase the rate of oil evaporation. But it will smell more clearly!

Catch the life hack - the more sticks you put in the vessel, the more intense the aroma of will be. Start with four - you can always add later, after three or four hours, when the aroma is completely distributed throughout the space.

If you are tired of the fragrance or you are leaving for a long time, take the sticks out of the container and close the lid.

Out of fluid? Pour a new one into a container washed with soap and replace the sticks. By the way, there are needs to be changed once every four weeks . Well, or at least just turn the sticks over ... Just don't get carried away: such manual dexterity accelerates the evaporation of oil from the vessel.

Sticks are always sold in packs of , so don't look for retailers all over the city.

Particularly thrifty owners reuse them, but do not abuse it: you can give a second life to sticks only once . Very, very used sticks can be put in a closet, in linen or clothes. The light fragrance will still be absorbed into the fabric.

If the room is large, choose a diffuser with the appropriate volume.

Keep children and pets out of reach of the diffuser.

What about health?

We have dealt with the use of the diffuser, but perhaps you have one last question. How harmful is it to use this product in an apartment? Here the quality of the product plays an important role. Buy only from trusted manufacturers. Pay special attention to essential oils, they must be natural.

You can buy oil and sticks anywhere, but not every seller is ready to be responsible for their product. The risks of inhaling low-quality oil and earning yourself an unnecessary sore in this case are quite high, especially for children whose mucous membranes are still very tender. Therefore, it is better to buy from those whom you trust.

These can be marketplaces or showrooms with a good reputation and without "dark spots" in their biography. Candellabra takes responsibility for all products presented on the site. Here you will not find fake diffuser sticks or oils with harmful impurities in the composition.


Save it so you don't forget

1. Diffusers are available in electric and independent versions. The first one needs a network, and the second one needs a pretty jar.

2. When thinking about choosing a fragrance, is guided by what you are choosing scent for. Just don't choose too sweet.

3. Remember to calculate the area of ​​the room before choosing the diffuser size.

4. Be sure to ventilate the room before installing the diffuser and place it on a level surface.

The perfume of your home should tell a story. About the fragrance of peonies and the sweetness of citrus fruits in summer ... About hot coffee with cinnamon, sweet pastries with vanilla and gingerbread in winter. It should be bright with lavender and rose in the autumn rainy season and inspire with the smell of the ocean in early spring. One of the easiest ways to change the mood of your home is to buy aroma diffusers with sticks that open up a huge world of scents for you to choose from.

To quickly sell a house, real estate agents advise its owners to bake a loaf of bread a few minutes before potential buyers arrive. Because the smell in the house is everything. In a house that smells of fresh pastries, apple compote and freshly cut flowers, you want to stay forever. To fill the house with a wonderful aroma, it is not at all necessary to bake cookies, make jam or buy flowers. It is enough to choose the right aroma kits. Which aroma diffuser to buy for the home, we will tell further in our article.


Ease of use. Unlike electric diffusers and candles, LaDecor Aroma Diffusers are the easiest and safest way to fill your home with pleasant smells. Rattan or polymer sticks absorb perfumed essence from the bottle and release it into the air without the need to plug into a power outlet or use an open flame.

Aroma control. The main advantage of the electric device is the ability to control the level of aroma. But this is easy to do in aroma kits. To get a faint smell, use 1-2 sticks. For a strong composition, use all 6 or 8 sticks.

Shutdown. Another plus that is present in electrical devices is the ability to turn off. When you go on vacation, the device does not work and does not use aromatic essence in vain. The bottle with interior perfume can also be closed with a cap, and therefore it will not work in your absence.

Benefits of aroma diffusers with sticks

Interior perfume in a glass bottle with rattan sticks does not need to be connected to the mains. The smell in your home does not depend on the outlet and does not affect the electricity bill. It is safer than electronic analogues, because it can be left unattended for a day or several weeks. It works even if there is a power outage in the house. Aromatic diffusers also win over candles - they do not leave wax, there is no open flame. Safe in a home with pets and small children.
Aroma diffuser works around the clock. The main thing is to turn the sticks every 3-5 days. No smoke and no mess. Unlike aerosols, it does not release finely dispersed highly concentrated particles into the air. Aromatic essence evenly fills the surrounding space, creating an unobtrusive pleasant smell. The diffuser does not need to be heated like an aroma lamp. All that is required of you is to open the lid of the bottle and insert a few rattan sticks inside.

Aroma diffusers saturate rooms with beautiful compositions 24/7. After a long day at work or a week-long vacation, you'll be back in a great-smelling apartment. Since aroma diffusers are completely safe, they will emit fragrance even when you are not around.

An equally important advantage is a fantastic appearance. La Décor fragrance sets come in elegant glass bottles that will become a bright highlight in every interior.

Which aroma diffuser is better - with sticks made of reed, bamboo or fiber

Bamboo sticks. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly and completely natural material that is actively used in many areas of life. But in the matter of aromatherapy, bamboo loses to rattan. Bamboo has knots that slow down the process of absorption of aromatic essence. Rattan, on the contrary, has a hollow tubular structure, which freely absorbs perfume and thins out persistent aromas. Rattan sticks provide the ultimate in interior perfume or fragrance oil.

Bamboo is not compatible with alcohol and oil solutions, clogs quickly, requires frequent turning, and does not absorb odors as intensely as other materials. But it has an exotic appearance.

Rattan (reed) sticks. Reed has a porous structure that effectively absorbs aroma compositions. Due to the presence of numerous channels and holes, reed is the best choice for aroma diffusers. Each stick has about 20 separate holes that run along the entire length of the rattan, draw in the aroma, and then disperse it qualitatively into the surrounding space. It is also important to remember that the intensity of the aroma depends not only on the material, but also on the number of sticks - the more you use, the stronger the aroma.

The disadvantages of rattan include the ability to clog with too thick aromatic solutions and the need for frequent turning.

Ladecor rattan aroma diffusers captivate with their design, richness of smells and high-quality workmanship.


Fiber sticks. Fiber is a thin fiber made from a thermoplastic polymer. Its structure is ideal for absorbing and distributing aromatic essences. Fiber diffuser sticks are smoother and smoother than natural rattan. They absorb quickly, distribute well, and serve for a long time. Homogeneous, ideally sized pores evenly absorb and also evenly release fragrance to the surrounding space. The fiber is compatible with all aromatic essences - whether they are water-based, oil-based or alcohol-based. Unlike bamboo and rattan counterparts, fiber products come in different sizes, colors and thicknesses. Since the interior perfume is not only a fragrance, but also an aesthetic decoration of the house, the opportunity to buy an aroma diffuser with colored original sticks is a great advantage. Many experts in the field of interior perfumes recommend choosing fiber, since such accessories do not need to be turned over often. You get the most out of your homemade perfume at the lowest cost.

A good choice is Ladecor aroma kits 4 scents with decor : pear and freesia, wild flowers, prairie blossom, lemon and cinnamon. The volume of the bottle is 100 ml. The sticks are made from fiber. Aroma essence is made from first-class components from France and Germany.


Advantages of aroma diffusers with fiberglass sticks:

Only one thing can be attributed to the disadvantages of fiberglass - it does not bring such natural attractiveness into the interior as natural rattan. But what is the design of glass bottles worth. Just look at Ladecor aroma kits with interior perfumes and candles. Stylish interior decoration and a wonderful gift.


Tips on how to choose and use an aroma diffuser for your home

  1. Between bamboo and rattan, always choose the second option, because bamboo will never give such an effect.
  2. When choosing an aroma diffuser, pay attention to the width of the neck of the bottle. A wide-mouthed vessel wastes precious aromatic essence. Through the narrow neck, the solution evaporates more slowly.
  3. If there is essence in the bottle but you can't smell it, change the sticks or increase the quantity.
  4. The distribution of interior perfume is strongly influenced by external factors: dehumidifier, air conditioner, open windows and doors. If these factors cannot be controlled, experts advise installing 2 aroma diffusers in the same room diagonally.
  5. The larger the area of ​​the room, the more sticks to use. In a small room, 2-3 sticks will be enough, otherwise you will get too intense aroma.
  6. The more sticks you use, the faster the liquid evaporates.
  7. Make sure you do not overfill the bottle with chopsticks. If the top of the vessel is heavier than the base, it may tip over.
  8. Learn to tell the difference between reed and bamboo. Look at the ends of the products - rattan is hollow, while bamboo has cross-sectional channels.
  9. Do not add new solution to old solution. Wait until it evaporates completely, then wash the vessel with soap and only then fill it with new essence.
  10. To get the maximum smell, place the diffuser in an area with good air circulation - in places where households most often go.
