I have tried a few different reed scent diffusers in my house , but they aren’t anything like as nice as the Jo M ones my daughter has in her house.
They seem to last for ages as well as smelling wonderful but they are soo expensive!
Have any of you found any others that are as nice / long lasting ,or almost, without paying such s lot of money?
I know they say you get what you pay for but I can’t pay for it lol ?

A company has set up in West Cumberland called Lakeland lights. At the moment they make candles but I think they will soon move into diffusers. I bought three for nostalgia's sake, as presents. My daughter assures me after having a good laugh she lit the Cleator Moor and it was a light lovely smell of clean washing. I have a St.Bees which smells of a clean seaside.
CleatorMoor is a bit of a joke in West Cumberland, Lowry painted their Chip shop queue.

Another vote for Valletta, really beautiful natural smells, similar to Neom but much cheaper.

M & S apothecary range are lovely.

I live up north in Scotland and my daughter got me one from a small company called Angelic Aromas Aberdeen. Smells wonderful... not sure where they ship to though...

When I said they run out quickly, I meant the shop runs out of stock quickly, so popular they seem to be.
I got a no. 1 lime, basil and mandarin a couple of days ago. As Sassanach says, its very nice but choice is becoming limited, so
if we over enthuse, Aldi may gain more custom and it will be harder to find what we want, so those who choose Jo Malone etc, thats fine. It probably is nicer. It certainly should be. smile

Another vote for Aldi here, the No. 1 lime, basil and mandarin is lovely. Yes they may only last a few weeks but at £3.49 you really can't go wrong

I bought a really good one from Dunelm. Smells nice (I think it’s eucalyptus) and has lasted for ages.

But there is a big difference between Aldi £3.50 and the grossly expensive ones (£40 plus) which to me are pretty much the same.
I once bought a fancy one in JL for dd who was/is keen on ‘ brands’ but I couldn’t bring myself to spend so much money on just a candle and diffuser.
Woukd defy anyone to tell the difference. No, 1 and No.3 are nice and there are others, but they run out quickly, my dd is now very happy with Aldi. ( thank goodness!) (grin

Another vote for Valentte, the white neroli and lemon or lemongrass and rosemary are lovely.

The Aldi ones are lovely and very good value. The downside is that they don’t last that long. 6-8 weeks max.

silverlining48 Mon 13-Jun-22 14:06:06

Freesia and pear sounds lovely.

Susan56 Mon 13-Jun-22 10:02:21

Another vote for Neom!

VB000 Mon 13-Jun-22 10:00:04

Bought one from Aldi yesterday - Freesia and Pear, only £3.49!

BlueSapphire Mon 13-Jun-22 09:24:39

M & S Rhubarb Flower - lovely.

Patsy70 Mon 13-Jun-22 08:46:13

TK Maxx offer a wide range of high quality reed diffusers and candles, including Neom, at very reasonable prices.

silverlining48 Mon 13-Jun-22 08:32:41

I buy these in Aldi.

Another vote for Neom, The White Company both are as good as Joe Malone in my opinion.

Jo Loves which is Ms,Malone new company name are very good.

Chocolatelovinggran Mon 13-Jun-22 07:54:04

White company for me, but if you want to push the boat out,Diptyque now do reed diffusers- absolutely divine...

Melanie61 Mon 13-Jun-22 07:07:36

I second Valantte Daisymae. The White Neroli and Lemon is just divine .

BigBertha1 Mon 13-Jun-22 07:02:52

Stoneglow are lovely and White Company

Grannynannywanny Mon 13-Jun-22 05:43:15

Next have a lovely range of diffusers. The smallest size is £6.

paddyann54 Mon 13-Jun-22 00:02:36

I like Neom and they last a long time ,nice natural smell too.

harrigran Sun 12-Jun-22 22:30:30

The Harrogate candle company do lovely diffusers and they last ages.

Aveline Sun 12-Jun-22 22:02:48

Humph! I bought a reed diffuser today. I was really looking forward to it but discovered on opening the tube that the scent bottle was there but no reeds!! What a swizz. Back to the shop tomorrow. Lucky I found the receipt.

Daisymae Sun 12-Jun-22 21:42:32

Valletta. Made in the UK, great selection of scents. I gave several as Xmas gifts in sets and just about everyone has bought more.
