Our reed diffusers work by allowing the oil to seep into the lid where the scent is released slowly over time. Even when the oil itself is gone, the lid will still release its fragrance for weeks afterwards. Typically these diffusers last for about a month. Adjust the string to your preferred length, and hang wherever you wish. Hang it with the lid pointing upwards—you don't need to keep it tilted for the fragrance to be released. If the fragrance weakens, tilt the bottle upside down again like in Step 3. This will release more oil into the wooden lid. We recommend not to do this more than once a week. Excessive inverting can cause leaks and the oil will deplete at a much faster rate than normal.
TIP: Once you wet the reed lid, you can then re-insert the plastic stopper to extend the life of your freshener!
