Benefits of Natural Aromatherapy
All-natural and non-toxic: Unlike traditional air fresheners loaded with chemicals, reed diffusers utilize natural essential oils derived from plants, making them a healthier choice for you and your family. This means you can enjoy pleasant aromas without the worries of synthetic substances.
Long-lasting scent: With proper maintenance, reed diffusers can provide fragrances that last for several months. Their design allows for a steady release of scent, ensuring your living spaces are consistently filled with inviting aromas without the hassle of frequent replacements or refills.
Elegant décor: Reed diffusers come in various styles and designs, from modern to classic, making them a stunning addition to any room’s decor. Whether placed on a coffee table, shelf, or bathroom counter, they enhance the aesthetic of your home while serving a functional purpose.
No electricity needed: One of the best features of reed diffusers is that they rely on natural air circulation to disperse their scent. This eliminates the need for batteries or power sources, making them incredibly versatile and suitable for any space, whether it’s a cozy living room or a tranquil office.
Customizable: One of the unique advantages of using reed diffusers is the ability to mix and match different essential oils. This allows you to create personalized scents that perfectly match your mood or the atmosphere you want to cultivate, giving your space a unique touch that reflects your personality.

Ingredients
- FROM YOUR KIT
1 Reed Diffuser Vessel
150 drops Essential Oil
Choose ONE Option for Each Reed Diffuser:
150 drops Unicorn Essential Oil Blend
150 drops Timber Essential Oil Blend
100 drops Unicorn + 50 drops Timber Essential Oil Blend1/3 cup Simply Earth Perfumer’s Alcohol
5 Reed Pieces
Directions
- Arrange the Reed Bouquets and Reeds as desired into the three vessels. We recommend using approximately five pieces per vessel. Remove your arrangements from the vessel and set aside to be added back in later. *
- Add essential oil or essential oil combination to the Reed Diffuser Vessel.
- Slowly add the Perfumer’s Alcohol to the Reed Diffuser Vessel. Use a reed to stir the alcohol and the essential oil until the essential oil is solubilized. The alcohol will become tinted and match the natural color of the essential oil.
- Add the Diffuser Reed Arrangement from Step 1 to the vessel. Allow the reeds to soak in the alcohol and essential oil base for an hour. Flip the reeds to diffuse the aroma.
- Repeat Steps 2-4 to create two more Reed Diffusers.
- To use, place Reed Diffusers out of the reach of pets and children. Flip the reeds as needed to scent the room. Refresh the diffuser with Perfumer’s Alcohol and essential oils as needed. With extended use, the reeds will need to be replaced. We’ve included some extra replacement pieces in this kit and more replacement reeds can be found at simplyearth.com.
tip from katie
- The decorative green leaf piece will tint your diffuser solution green. This will cause the reeds to become tinted green as the solution travels up the reed. Exclude the green pieces from your arrangement if you prefer to avoid this. Some discoloration of the reed pieces should be expected due to the natural color of essential oils.
Safety First: Essential Oil Handling Tips
Always Use Diluted Oils
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
Essential Oils Aren’t Safe For Everyone
When using essential oils around children, pregnant women, and pets, caution should be taken.

Never Ingest Essential Oils
We don’t recommend ingesting essential oils unless directed by a doctor certified in aromatherapy. For more information on why we don’t ingest essential oils, check out this blog post.
