What is a Reed Diffuser? A Brief History and Complete Guide

Home fragrance and aromatherapy dates back nearly 5000 years, with the first recorded use of fragrance cited during Egyptian rituals around 3000 BC with aromatic resins. Ancient Egyptians used these plant resins along with natural oils during the mummification process, and they can also be found in the tombs of pharaohs. When Were Diffusers Invented? Reed Diffuser History Timeline In ancient China, people also used reed diffusers as a form of incense. In the Buddhist tradition, the reeds are lit to offer fragrance and cultivate a peaceful environment for prayer or meditation. Taoists burn the reeds as a show of honor to their deities and ancestors. Additionally, the Greeks used reeds to scent their homes and temples. Most commonly, ancient Greeks preferred a combination of wine, cinnamon bark, myrrh resin, honey and cloves for scenting. How Do Reed Diffusers Work? The Science Behind Natural Fragrance While they come in a variety of different shapes and sizes, all reed diffusers have 3 main components: Vessel Reed sticks Fragrance oil The reed sticks are inserted in the vessel with the fragrance oil, the tiny capillaries in the reed sticks absorb the fragrance which moves it up to the top of the reed stick where it disperses the fragrance into the air. Occasionally, flipping the reed sticks once a week allows an even distribution of the fragrance as well as the aromatic intensity. Reed Diffuser Tips: How to Get the Best Scent Performance The maintenance of reed diffusers are very simple, by placing the reed diffusers where is air circulation such as an entry way always the fragrance to flow efficiently, other places you can reed your reed diffuser is in the foyer, hallways and the powder room.

How to Use a Reed Diffuser

Without the use of heat or flame, you can enhance the smell of any room in your home using reed diffusers. Compared to candles, they are a much safer scenting solution, especially when you have pets or young children running around the house.   How to Use a Reed Diffuser A reed diffuser can be used for various scenting needs. To add fragrance to your place, you’ll simply have to insert reeds into a bottle of essential oils. The reeds soak up the oil, dispersing the pleasant aromas into the air. In businesses, the best place to put your reed diffuser would be in high-traffic areas such as lobbies, hallways, and bathrooms.   Most reed diffusers come with bottled essential oils. If that is what you’re getting, you’ll only have to do a few steps to ensure that the scent is being dispersed.   First, you need to insert the reeds in the bottle. Next, you should flip the reeds, placing the dry end into the bottle and the saturated end in the air. Once you’ve done that, all that’s left to do is wait for the fragrance to fill the room.   How to Make a Reed Diffuser Smell Stronger The more reeds you use, the stronger the scent will be. Hence, you may want to use a lot of reeds for larger rooms. But in small, confined spaces, you should stick to using only a few as the scent can be too overwhelming.   If your reed diffuser is no longer emitting any fragrance, you can simply flip the reeds over. It should help with the diffusion process. However, don’t constantly flip your reeds because the more you do it, the faster your oils will disperse. More importantly, make sure to flip the reeds over the sink or towels to prevent the oil from getting all over your countertops. Wipe the bottle as well as the surfaces before placing it back down. You may also try giving your bottle of essential oils a little swirl. It should help strengthen the aromas in the oil.   How Long Do Reed Diffusers Last? Reed diffusers can last for months. However, it depends on several environmental factors – air conditioning, dehumidifiers, and heating to name a few.   Aroma360 has a vast collection of luxury fragrances and scenting solutions, including reed diffusers. You can make your home smell and feel like a posh hotel every day. If you run a business, we can also help you create a custom scent that your consumers will surely never forget.
