    The description said it was the 50ml version and suitable for smaller spaces in the home, so I don't think we can really complain. :;)
    Oh no I wasn't talking about complaining! Sorry if you read this in my post (I don't think I wrote anything about complaining as it wasn't my intention to, but sorry if you got that impression).


    I just wanted to mention it as I normally really rate the reed diffusers and bought this set on the reed diffuser alone. I wasn't expecting it to be a 50ml version and was concerned it may not have as strong a scent and didn't want people to feel disappointed thinking I'd rated something as excellent when they couldn't smell anything- the larger reed diffuser had carried the scent through my entire flat, if others had expected this from the 50ml version I didn't want people thinking I'd lied or exaggerated if they found the 50ml version didn't smell anywhere near as strongly.

    Most of what you smell is what is on the reeds, not the liquid in the bottle. If you use longer reeds you get exactly the same result from the 50ml version - so everyone should be happy! If you let the reeds from one scent dry out completely, you can re-use with any other scent.

    Thanks for the tip- I still have the longer reeds but will stick with the smaller reeds in the 50ml bottle as I'm worried it will topple over!


    I tried it in my main room (bedroom/sitting room) and could only smell it when I was sat about 15 inches from my nose, so have decided to leave it in the amazingly tiny bathroom I have and it seems to work really well there :)


    I always keep a look out for these in the sale but they never seem to be reduced by more than about £1 or so, so getting the entire set for less than £20 is pretty fantastic as far as I'm concerned! I'm now waiting for the next Rituals offer they come up with :) It seems to be about once a year they do this.

    I ordered the Pecksniffs Raindrops & Roses box way back in Apriland despite several emails have still not received it yet! Has anyone else had a problem with this specific set?

    Unbelievably, the courier has just delivered this to me! Sadly the candle carton is torn on the inside!! Smells lovely though!

    My April ordered Pecksniffs Raindrops and Roses box also arrived today. The candle box was also torn inside which renders it useless as the present it was intended for. Smells nice though. I also ordered the Rituals box and was happy with that.

    I ordered two Pecksniffs Raindrops and Roses boxes. Both candle boxes were torn :(. Otherwise, the collection is lovely. I think it maybe that the weight of the candle in the box hasn't withstood the delivery process?
    I loved my rituals boxes. Now awaiting my Pecksniffs Summer Scents collection order :)

    This looks lovely - includes lipstick, eyeshadow, bronzer and brush and eye shadow and, for the little un's an organic comfort blanket and sun lotion.

    I've ordered from them before and there can be quite a wait for delivery, but worth it in the end, imho.
