where do i place my diffuser?
A reed diffuser works best when placed where air can circulate naturally — allowing fragrance to travel without being overpowering. Position it in open spaces such as entryways, living rooms, or bedrooms, where gentle airflow helps the scent move freely.
Avoid placing it directly next to windows, vents, or fans — strong drafts can cause the oil to evaporate faster and reduce longevity. Instead, keep it in moderate traffic areas, like a coffee table, dresser, or shelf, where the motion of daily life subtly stirs the aroma.
For smaller rooms such as bathrooms or offices, one diffuser is enough. In larger spaces, pairing two at opposite ends creates an even, balanced scent experience.
Your diffuser should feel like part of the space — not the center of attention, but the quiet atmosphere that defines it.
What’s the best way to dispose of used reeds or leftover oil?
Reed diffusers are meant to enhance your space — but when the fragrance fades, proper disposal ensures both safety and environmental care. Never pour leftover oil down the drain; diffuser blends often contain fragrance compounds that can affect water systems.
Instead, start by sealing any remaining oil in its bottle or another closed container. Once sealed, dispose of it with regular household waste — the same way you would safely discard used cooking oil. This prevents leaks and keeps the oil contained.
If your diffuser bottle is made of glass, rinse it thoroughly with warm, soapy water once it’s empty, and let it dry completely before reusing or recycling. Reusing bottles for décor or new diffuser refills is perfectly safe, as long as no residue remains.
As for the reeds, once fully saturated and dry, wrap them in a paper towel or bag before throwing them away. This prevents oil transfer and maintains cleanliness.
If you’re eco-conscious, consider repurposing your glass diffuser vessel as a mini vase, decorative bottle, or flower stem holder — a way to extend its beauty beyond the fragrance’s life.
Caring for your scent doesn’t end when it’s gone — proper disposal reflects the same intention and mindfulness as when it first filled your space.
How Often do i flip my reeds?
After inserting the 6 fiber reeds into your diffuser, we recommend flipping them every 3–5 days to refresh the fragrance and maintain a consistent scent experience.

How do i layer my fragrances?
Fragrance layering is the art of building depth and longevity by combining multiple scents that complement each other. Always start with clean, moisturized skin — oils bond best to hydration. Begin with a base scent such as warm vanilla, musk, or amber; these heavier notes anchor your blend and help it last.
Next, apply a mid-tone fragrance like florals, woods, or spices to add character and balance. Finish with a lighter spray or mist that enhances projection — citrus, airy florals, or fresh notes work beautifully.
Keep each layer within the same family or mood to maintain harmony. Let each scent dry before applying the next, and focus on pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears.
Layering transforms a single fragrance into something entirely your own — a personal signature that lingers longer and tells your story through scent.
Where do I apply My Fragrances?
Fragrance thrives where the skin is naturally warm. These areas, known as pulse points, gently radiate heat, helping your scent diffuse throughout the day.
Start with the classic locations — wrists, neck, and behind the ears. These are closest to the skin’s surface and move naturally, allowing your fragrance to trail softly as you go about your day.
For longer wear, add subtle touches to the inner elbows, base of the throat, and behind the knees — areas that create gentle bursts of warmth with movement. If layering, mist lightly over clothing or hair from a distance; fabric fibers and hair strands help hold scent without overwhelming the skin’s chemistry.
Avoid rubbing your wrists together — friction breaks down the top notes and shortens your fragrance’s life. Instead, let the scent settle naturally to reveal its true character.
When applied thoughtfully, fragrance becomes more than a scent — it becomes an aura that moves with you.
when is the Best time to apply my fragrance?
Fragrance performs best when the skin is warm, clean, and lightly hydrated — conditions that allow the scent molecules to bond naturally and reveal their full character. The ideal moment to apply your perfume is right after a shower, when your pores are open and your skin retains a hint of moisture. Gently pat dry, then seal in hydration with an unscented body lotion or light oil; this creates a smooth base that holds the fragrance longer.
Avoid applying fragrance immediately before dressing — give it one to two minutes to settle into the skin to prevent transfer onto fabrics. If you prefer a softer trail, mist a small amount into the air and walk through it — this creates a delicate, even veil that lingers.
Timing is everything: morning applications capture freshness and energy; evening touch-ups bring depth and warmth back to the skin. When done intentionally, fragrance becomes more than routine — it becomes ritual, a quiet moment of connection before you step into the world.
Where should I store my fragrances?
Fragrance is delicate — it’s a living composition of oils, alcohol, and natural essences that evolve over time. How you store it determines how long it remains true to its original character.
The key to preservation is consistency. Keep your bottles in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Light and warmth break down fragrance molecules, dulling brightness in top notes and distorting the scent’s natural balance. A dresser drawer, shaded vanity, or closed cabinet is ideal.
Avoid storing your perfumes in bathrooms, where temperature and humidity fluctuate daily. Moisture and heat can thin the formula or cause premature oxidation, especially in oils. If your fragrance comes in a clear glass bottle, consider keeping it inside its original box to shield it from ambient light.
Always store fragrances upright to prevent leaks or uneven evaporation around the spray nozzle or roller. Make sure caps are tightly secured; oxygen exposure accelerates aging and can subtly alter both color and scent profile.
For perfume oils, extra care matters — their higher concentration makes them more sensitive to light. Keep them at room temperature (68–72°F) and away from windows. Proper storage can extend their lifespan well beyond two years, allowing the notes to stay rich, balanced, and true to their crafted intent.
When treated with the same care that went into creating it, fragrance becomes timeless — a memory preserved in glass, waiting to be rediscovered.
