Reed diffusers are a popular and elegant way to infuse your home with delightful fragrances. However, many people find that their reed diffusers stop smelling as strongly over time. This can be frustrating, especially if you’ve invested in a lovely scent. Here, we’ll explore the common reasons why reed diffusers stop smelling and provide tips on how to maintain their fragrance for as long as possible.

Evaporation of Oil

One of the primary reasons reed diffusers lose their scent is the evaporation of the fragrance oil. Over time, the oil naturally evaporates, causing the fragrance to diminish. To slow down this process and maintain the lovely aroma of your home fragrance for a longer period, place your diffuser in an area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. These elements can accelerate the evaporation process, making the scent fade faster.

Clogged Reeds

Reeds can become saturated or clogged with dust and oil, reducing their ability to diffuse fragrance. This is especially common with rattan reeds, which many brands use. Rattan reeds tend to clog more easily, leading to a diminished scent throw. At Bloomhill, we use high-quality fibre reeds that are less prone to clogging and more efficient at diffusing fragrance. To ensure your diffuser performs optimally, regularly flip the reeds to refresh the scent and replace them every few months.

Low-Quality Ingredients

The quality of the ingredients in your reed diffuser significantly impacts its performance. Diffusers made with low-quality oils and reeds may not last as long or provide a strong scent throw. Choosing high-quality diffusers, like those from Bloomhill, can significantly improve the longevity and intensity of the fragrance. Our diffusers use premium fragrance oils and natural reeds, ensuring a long-lasting and consistent scent throw, filling your room with a delightful aroma.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Scent

1. Place Diffuser Correctly: Avoid placing your diffuser in areas with high airflow, such as near vents, windows, or fans. These areas can cause the oil to evaporate more quickly.

2. Flip the Reeds Regularly: To keep the scent fresh and potent, flip the reeds every week. This helps to redistribute the oil and refresh the fragrance.

3. Replace Reeds Periodically: Even high-quality reeds will eventually become saturated and less effective. Replace your reeds every few months to ensure optimal scent diffusion.

4. Choose High-Quality Products: Investing in a high-quality reed diffuser ensures you get the most out of your home fragrance. At Bloomhill, we pride ourselves on creating some of the best and longest-lasting reed diffusers in the UK, using premium ingredients for a superior scent experience.

By understanding these factors and following these maintenance tips, you can enjoy a consistently fragrant home. With Bloomhill’s high-quality reed diffusers, you can ensure that your space always smells inviting and delightful.
