The slow way to scent a room
A reed diffuser works slowly and on its own. You put the reeds in the bottle, they draw the scented oil up, and the air in the room carries it from there. Within half an hour to an hour, the corner around the bottle picks up the scent. There is no flame to watch and nothing to switch on.
It suits the rooms you live in every day. After a while you stop noticing the scent. Then you come back from a few days away, open the door, and there it is.
NOTE makes eighteen scents, each in a 45 ml glass bottle with reeds. All of them are made in Vietnam.
- In the box
- A 45 ml glass bottle of scented oil and a set of reeds.
- Made in
- Vietnam
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.
How long does one bottle last?
A 45 ml bottle lasts two to three months. A warm, airy spot with every reed in uses the oil faster than a cool corner with a few. When the reeds darken and the scent fades, it is time for fresh reeds.
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.
Where does NOTE deliver?
NOTE delivers within Vietnam, through orders placed in the online shop. If you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City, you can buy at either store and take it home with you.
Other ways to scent a space
Reed diffusers are the slow option. When you want scent right away, or in a smaller space, try one of these.
Room sprays
a 100 ml bottle. A few sprays and the room smells right, just in time for the "we are downstairs" text.
Essential oils
a 10 ml bottle. Add a few drops to the oil diffuser you already own or to an aroma stone, as strong or as light as you like.
Car fragrance
an 8 ml bottle that hangs from the rearview mirror.

Reed diffusers are sold at two stores, 42 Nguyen Hue and 34 Nguyen Duy Hieu. Before you come, message NOTE to find out which store has the scent you are after.
