A pot on the stove on the last day of the year
Some scents live in the memory long before you can name them. This one rises from a grandmother's kitchen on the last day of the lunar year, dry, herbal and faintly spicy, from a pot on the stove.
Hạt mùi ta is coriander seed. Before Tết, Vietnamese families boil old coriander plants in water to bathe, a way of making ready for the new year. The smell stays on clothes and in the air of every room.
This bottle holds that one ingredient. It opens dry and herbal, then softens into a quiet warmth.

Where it fits at home
The days before Tết
For the last days of the lunar year, when the house is being made ready.
The room where the family gathers
The year is nearly over and everyone is home. An earthy, warm scent suits the hour.
A gift for someone far from home
For a Vietnamese friend who misses Tết at home. Coriander seed is a smell they will know.
How to set up the reeds
Open the bottle and put the reeds in. Within 30 minutes to an hour they soak up the oil and start to scent the room.
For a faster start, pull the reeds out, turn them upside down and put them back.
More reeds give a stronger scent, fewer reeds a softer one. Adjust the number to the size of the room and to your taste.
Keep the bottle somewhere airy, away from the air-conditioner vent and out of direct sun.
When the reeds darken and the scent fades, it is time for fresh reeds.
If you stop using it for a while, take the reeds out and close the bottle tightly.
Stop using it if you feel dizzy or unwell.
FAQ
Where should I put a reed diffuser?
Somewhere airy, such as the living room, a desk or a bookshelf. Keep it away from the air-conditioner vent and out of direct sun.
How do I make the scent stronger or softer?
Change the number of reeds. More reeds give a stronger scent, fewer reeds a softer one.
Reed diffuser or room spray?
A reed diffuser gives a steady, continuous scent. A room spray works at once but fades sooner, which suits a quick change of air.
