How to Make Reed Diffusers
Lacking the tacky and overwhelming stench of many commercially available air freshener products,
reed diffusers have become an increasingly popular way to gently scent and freshen indoor air.
Commonly used in the home, offices, public restrooms, etc., diffusers are a generally safe and long-lasting method of scenting the air without resorting to the open flame, hot wax, chemicals or electricity
required by different commercial air fresheners. And while reed diffusers are sold in many retail stores,
the good ones can be expensive and you still can’t be sure what compounds are being diffused since
the label is unlikely to divulge the chemical constituents. Instead of forking out a fortune and breathing
in volatile compounds, make your own reed diffusers at home that match exactly the scent you love,
containing only what you’ve chosen to add.
1
Find or purchase a suitable container to hold the diffuser. Purchase narrow-neck glass bottles or clean and reuse bottles from old diffusers, finished perfumes, or other beauty
products. It’s also a great idea to repurpose less obvious containers, such as colored bottles,
soda or beer bottles, antique milk and other bottles, flower vases, large salt and pepper shaker
bottoms, and other similar items to make reed diffusers. Set your imagination in train every time
you come across a possible container that you’re not sure what to use for!
2
Find suitable reeds (also known as sticks) to add to the diffuser container.Use new reed diffusers,
as old reeds lose their effectiveness once they are oversaturated with oil. While you can purchase
readymade reeds suited to this purpose, you can also use thin bamboo skewers available from many
grocery stores.

3
Decide on what oil or diffuser base you’ll use. Choices for the diffuser base or oil include scented oil
and dipropylene glycol (a plasticize with low toxicity), or a reed diffuser base oil such as safflower or
sweet almond oils. Alternatively, you can purchase bottles of scented reed diffuser oils that are already
blended.
4
Blend the essential oil with the dipropylene glycol or the diffuser base oil.Making the scented oil is a
straightforward process, as follows:
- In general, the blend will need to consist of approximately 15 to 25 percent essential or
fragrance oil with 75 to 85 percent dipropylene glycol or diffuser base oil. Vary the amounts to increase or decrease the fragrance as necessary.
- You may need to decrease the amount of essential oil added if the diffuser-oil mixture cannot travel up the reed enough to scent the air effectively.
This is due to the viscosity of the oil often being too heavy or thick to travel.
- Another way to make reed diffuser oil is using vodka. Mix a dash of vodka with about 10 drops
of your favorite essential oil or scent and a 1/4 cup of water. This method works well but needs to be
refilled more frequently because the mixture tends to evaporate faster. It’s a great way to use up
unwanted tasteless vodka!
5
Fill the diffuser bottles or containers to approximately 75 to 85 percent capacity with the reed diffuser oil. Do not fill the oil to the top of the containers it may overflow when you put the reeds inside.
6
Put reeds into the oil and allow them to sit for one hour. The number of reeds you need for
each diffuser varies based on the strength of the fragrance of the oil and the size of the container
you’re usingjudge it accordingly. Increase the number of reeds to allow more fragrance to enter
the air and decrease the number if you want less oil to wick up. By the end of the hour,
you should start to notice the sticks taking up the oil, slowly.
The more reeds you use and the taller your reeds are, the quicker your diffuser will require refilling or replacing.
7
Flip the reeds over after an hour to saturate the top part of the reeds that stick out above the oil level.
This helps to speed up the process of the oil soaking up from the bottom diffusing through the entire
reed.
8
Place the finished reed diffuser container somewhere suitable in your home.
Place it where it won’t be knocked or investigated by curious children or pets.
Be sure to keep it well away from electrical appliances too, in case of a spill.
Expect a light fragrance to start perfuming your room within 24 hours.
Check weekly to see whether the diffuser needs a top up. Every few weeks the container
should be emptied, cleaned thoroughly and new reeds added.
