Diffuser Reeds

How many should you use, and what are the differences in the types?

Number to use. The more reeds you add to your diffuser, the more oil will be used so the stronger the scent will diffuse and "throw" (disperse) into the air.

For larger rooms or if you simply want a stronger, more noticeable scent, we recommend using all 6 reeds provided. For smaller rooms such as bathrooms or small bedrooms, or if you prefer a more subtle scent, you may want to start with fewer than 6, wait a few days to be sure the oil has been fully absorbed and worked up the reed, and then if desired add more reeds to work up to your desired scent strength.

Reed Type. We offer three different types of reeds: Rattan, Fiber and Flower. The main difference is whether you are more interested in having a more natural look and feel, or if you would rather have a stronger and more intense scent.

Lighting Paths' Reed Options:

Rattan: These reeds offer a more natural look and feel, as well as provide the most cost-efficient option. There are 2 color options: natural/tan, and brown. 

Fiber: These reeds have a stronger and more intense scent throw. They have a sleek luxurious look with a velvety feel. Color options include black and gray. 

Flower: These reeds have the strongest scent throw of our reed options, with their unique shape which includes a wider area of exposure to the air for the scent to release from. They also use up the oil faster than the stick-shaped reeds.

Flower reed composition: The stem of the flower is made of rattan reed, and the top petal part is made from the pith of the Rice Paper Plant. These reeds are cream-colored with red-tipped yellow stamens (in the center of the petals). *Note that the top flower portion of this diffuser stick absorbs and releases diffuser oil along with the reed, so you should not touch the flower once the product is in use.
