INSTRUCTION
- Select your container: Choose a small glass jar or bottle with a narrow opening. This helps slow evaporation and keeps the fragrance concentrated.
- Prepare the base: Pour the carrier liquid into the container. If using alcohol, mix 3 parts water with 1 part alcohol for a thinner consistency.
- Add fragrance: Stir in 15–20 drops of essential oil. Adjust the amount depending on how strong you want the scent.
- Insert reeds: Place 5–7 reed sticks into the container. Bamboo skewers can be used if diffuser reeds are unavailable, though specialized reeds work best.
- Refresh regularly: Flip the reeds every few days to reinvigorate the scent and keep it circulating throughout the room.
This recipe makes one reed diffuser, which can effectively scent a small to medium-sized room. For larger spaces, prepare multiple diffusers and place them strategically around the house.
NOTE
The two-ingredient reed diffuser is a cost-effective, customizable, and safe way to fragrance your home. Unlike candles, it requires no flame, making it suitable for households with children or pets. The scent is subtle yet consistent, creating a welcoming atmosphere without overwhelming the senses.
