Why we use rattan wood sticks
At the heart of rattan's eco-friendly nature lies its source: the rattan palm. This vine-like plant grows abundantly in tropical regions, primarily in Southeast Asia, and is known for its rapid growth rate and regenerative properties.
Instructions
Set Up:
Remove the cap from the bottle and insert the rattan sticks into the opening. Make sure they are fully submerged in the fragrance oil.
Initial Diffusion:
Allow the rattan sticks to absorb the fragrance oil for about 1-2 hours. During this time, the oil will travel up the sticks and start to diffuse the scent into the air.
Placement:
Choose a suitable location for your reed diffuser. Ideally, place it in a central area of the room where there is good air circulation, such as on a table or shelf.
Flipping Sticks:
To enhance the scent throw, gently flip the rattan sticks every 3-7 days. This helps to refresh the fragrance and ensure continuous diffusion.
Safety:
Place the reed diffuser on a stable surface to avoid spills. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as these can cause the oil to evaporate more quickly.

Reed Diffuser FAQ
How long does it last
We use high-quality ingredients in our products and avoid ethanol, resulting in a more subtle scent that lasts for approximately 5 months. This careful formulation ensures a gentle, long-lasting fragrance without the overpowering effects of ethanol.
Why is your diffuser base alcohol-free
Why is your diffuser base alcohol-free
A natural and alcohol-free diffuser base offers several benefits.
It provides a subtle, long-lasting scent that can last for months, without the harshness or rapid evaporation of alcohol. This results in a purer, more authentic fragrance and contributes to better air quality. Additionally, it reduces the risk of triggering allergies and is more environmentally friendly, as it’s derived from renewable resources.
Setup & reed diffuser base
The setup
Allow the rattan sticks to absorb the fragrance oil for about 1-2 hours. During this time, the oil will travel up the sticks and start to diffuse, creating a pleasant and continuous aroma in your space.
Increase fragrance life
To extend the life of your reed diffuser, keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Using more sticks will absorb the fragrance faster, so adjust the number according to your preferred scent strength.
Air circulation
Place your reed diffuser in an area with good air circulation to help distribute the fragrance more effectively throughout the room. Proper airflow ensures a more even and widespread aroma.
Choose a stable surface
Select a stable surface for your reed diffuser to prevent spills and accidents. A stable surface keeps the diffuser upright, allowing the fragrance oil to be evenly absorbed by the rattan sticks for consistent scent diffusion.
Flip sticks every 3-7 days
Flip the rattan sticks every 3-7 days to refresh the fragrance and ensure continuous diffusion. This exposes the saturated ends to the air, promoting a stronger and more consistent release of the scent.
How many rattan sticks are necessary
Adjust the number of sticks based on the size of the room and the desired fragrance strength. More sticks will diffuse a stronger scent, while fewer sticks will provide a subtler aroma.
