How to Use a Reed Diffuser: Simple Steps for Long-Lasting Scent

Reed diffusers are one of the easiest ways to keep your space smelling pleasant throughout the day. They don’t require electricity, flames, or maintenance. You just place them, flip the reeds now and then, and enjoy. Whether it's your entryway, powder room, or bedside table, using a reed diffuser the right way helps you get the most from every drop of fragrance.

At Aurié Luxe Co., our reed diffusers use a plant-based base and fiber reeds for a steady, clean scent that lasts. Here’s a quick guide to help you set yours up.


 

Step-by-Step: How to Use a Reed Diffuser

1. Choose the Right Spot

Pick a location with light airflow—nothing too strong, like right next to an open window. A little movement helps carry the scent through the room. Smaller spaces like bathrooms, bedrooms, or entryways tend to work best.

2. Uncap the Bottle

Gently remove the cap from your diffuser bottle. Each bottle comes pre-filled and ready to go. There's nothing to measure or pour.

3. Insert the Reeds

Place 6 to 8 reeds into the bottle. After a few minutes, flip them so the saturated ends are in the air. That helps start the scent diffusion. Use more reeds for stronger scent, or fewer for something more subtle.

4. Flip Weekly (or When Needed)

To keep the scent noticeable, flip the reeds once a week. Do this carefully and wipe up any drips to avoid damaging surfaces.

5. Keep Away from Direct Heat or Sunlight

Too much heat or sun can cause the oils to evaporate faster. Place your diffuser in a shaded spot for a longer-lasting effect.

 


 

How Long Does It Last?

Aurié Luxe Co. reed diffusers typically last 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the room’s temperature and how often you flip the reeds. Our formula doesn’t include alcohol or dyes, which helps the scent last longer and stay clean.
