Best reed diffusers

Beenie

I have been disappointed by some diffusers which seem to lose their fragrance after a short time.

Has anyone got a recommendation for a long-lasting floral reed diffuser that doesn't cost the earth?

Dunelm Mill have some nice ones and are the only place I have ever seen that sell refills!

I had a Next one bought for me for my Birthday in November. I think it stopped smelling as soon as you came in the house around March. You could still smell it when you were in the room but not so strong.

I think they cost about £15. I personally wouldn't buy one as I can't justify the cost but I expect that is what you have to pay to get one that lasts.

I suppose it isn't too expensive if you divide the cost by how long it lasts.

Yankee Candle are expensive but last for ages. Unfortunately they stopped doing my favourite smell a few years ago and I've never found one I like as much.
Don't you get mad when firms do that?

I'm one of those who love some of the smells but get fed up with them after awhile.The only 'smelly' I have in the house is a small block I got from Aldis for 49p and it last for ages I keep it in the porch so it smells nice but not overpowering when you come through the front door I also have an inner door so its only in the porch that you can smell it.

The rest of the house is 'free' smelling as I open the windows back and front and get a through draft to make the house smell fresh, sometimes you can smell the washing in off the line but that's about all. I certainly wouldn't fork out £15 for a smell unless it was to go behind my ears or on my wrists :):)

The neom ones are quite good, but like anything once you get used to the fragrance you don't notice it as much.

Make the refills yourself from essential oils. Much cheaper and last ages longer.

I had a Joe Malone one for a gift once which I considered hugely extravagant but in fact it lasted well over a year and was really special, so I thought of the donor daily, which is really nice. I would buy for myself when I am feeling really flush!

I recently bought an electric diffuser from a car boot sale, along with about 20 little bottles of essential oil. They are hugely expensive online and even my partner concedes that the £3 spent was very well worthwhile! It changes colour as well so is quite a talking point.

The Asda ones are surprisingly decent. Around £4 I think.
