A fresh, fern-scented reed diffuser with a soft blue tint, lovely for living areas.
What you will need
- Rattan reeds
- 10ml Fenjal fragrance and 10ml Forest Fern fragrance
- 30ml diffuser oil base
- Blue liquid colouring
- 50ml glass bottle
Method
- Combine the fragrances and diffuser oil base and mix very well until fully emulsified.
- Add one or two drops of blue colouring, so the reeds soak up matching colour and scent.
- Pour the oil into the bottle and add the rattan reeds.
- Leave the reeds to wick for a couple of hours, then turn them over. Flip them every few days for the best scent.
Find the fragrances, bases and bottles you need at The Soap Barn.
Tips & variations
Once you have made your forest fern reed diffuser, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.
- Flip the reeds every few days to refresh the scent throw.
- Use more reeds for a bigger room and fewer for a small one.
- Use a clean, dry container so nothing dilutes or spoils the mix.
Make it your own: blend two fragrances, or adjust the strength to suit the size of the room.
