Diffusers. Confusers, help!

The White Company do several Christmas, winter themed diffusers, they are really nice smells and do work.

Jo Malone are excellent also.

I have an electric one, a few drops of scented oil in the water reservoir and it diffuses scented steam.
I agree that the White Company do some of the best.

Neom are good too.
And Figuier - though very pricey.

J52 yes I have the Neom electric diffuser, it has been indispensable the last 3+ months to overcome wet plaster, paint, and other building smells.

I got mine during Lockdown, it helped with the closed in feeling.
The good thing is that you can control when you want to use it.

DS was given one for his home office during Lockdown. It came from Morrison’s and wasn’t very expensive but unfortunately he could not smell it due to the loss of his sense of smell ( which has still not returned)as a result of covid !

I can smell a new diffuser for a day or two and then go nose blind. DD assures me that they still work when she visits.
I turn the reeds every now and again.

I have tried several different ones and they don't leave any smell in the room however I bought a reed diffuser from Next and it leaves such a strong perfume I move it from room to room

I’ve got an electric one from Muji which you put some water and drops of essential oil ( you can buy loads of different ones) , switch on and then you get continuous fine steam wafting round the room. I’ve also got a Neom one which is rechargeable but the refills are expensive. I’ve had lots of different reed diffusers including cheap ones from Aldi but the best and longest lasting have been Ortegia. Italian perfume brand which is top of my secret Santa wish list

I have the neon diffuser, we all go nose blind after a bit so I just change the oil as appropriate. I put it away for summer but will get it out today, a bit of uplifting scent will be good

I have a couple of neom oils but it is very easy to drop your own combo into the neom, mine is plug-in and I can switch the light on if wanted

Reed diffusers do work but only noticeable for a while

I'm a fan of the White Company too but if you have a Vinegar Hill shop near you, pop on and have a look /smell. I have been buying a Reed defuser from them called "Lime leaf and Ginger" like The White Company ones these smell lovely and last until the bit of oil is dried up and gone, but comes with not such a big price tag.

I do think they work, I have my favourites as mentioned here, Jo Malone, expensive, but they're gorgeous and have staying power, unlike some of their perfumes. I thought Peony and Blush Suede was a nice winter one, sometimes it's not the initial scent but the lingering one after it's been activated for a while, that I like, if that makes any sense. I've tried so many, The White Company, St Eval, Neom amongst others. I have one in the downstairs loo by a brand called Inis, which everyone who pays a visit there remarks "that's nice". Of late I have also discovered one I really like from the National Trust shop. I'm a bit of a reed diffuser hopeless addict, if I see them in a shop, I'm over there like a shot.

Ashleigh & Burwood fragrance lamps are very good. I've wasted a fortune on diffusers and actually found the only one that lasts is the little supermarket Airwick one.

No.
Just open the windows.
Does the same job & far cheaper

I like Inis too I put a few drop in my M&S electric diffuser smells really fresh

I’ve got an electric diffuser from Oliver Bonus and use oils from white company .
I love Jo Malone ordinary ones but they’re very expensive and don’t do refills , although they do last for months . Jo Malone pine and eucalyptus is lovely and christmasy . And Red Roses is great for summer .
I’ve found a company called Limelight , based in Bath , who do lovely diffusers and candles . They often do craft and Christmas fairs .

I can’t afford Jo Malone but I use Wax Lyrical which work well, and I have them in several rooms.The Mediterranean Orange is my favourite one.I turn the reeds over about twice a week.

If you prefer colder rooms then the scent will be fainter, warm rooms work best with reed diffusers.

Aldi do some very nice reed diffusers and they are not dear unlike most of the others.

I like using Organic Essential Oils in my water-based diffuser. They last forever and are not tested on animals. Also they are the basis for many scents being marketed.

Jo Malone used to be my favourite until I found out they animal test, in an indirect way, through using ingredients from other companies who do test on animals.

As an aside, you should be careful which oils/density you use around pets.

I found a firm online called Valentte. They do very good diffusers and also refills
