Who doesn’t love a room to smell nice? We all do. The question is, how do we want to fragrance our personal spaces? Candles, wax melts, plug ins, there’s so many to choose from. Over the last few years reed diffusers have been a product I’ve been enjoying more and more. The latest one I’ve been using is B & M’s Love Coconut & Vanilla Reed Diffuser. This was a gift from a friend but costs £1.50 for 50ml.
Packaging
It’s presented very simply but very chic. The reed diffuser comes in a small glass bottle with a wooden rim around the top of it. Label is basic and this reed diffuser comes boxed. It looks great and you could and would want to give this as a gift.
What does it come with?
Included is a small bottle containing the fragranced oil, 6 reed sticks to put into the bottle so the oil soaks into them and releases fragrance. The last thing included is a wooden rim to put around the bottle.
Fragrance
This probably smells more floral than coconut in my opinion. There’s a slight tropical scent to it but it’s not massive. Coconut & Vanilla has a feminine, floral and powdery smell to it, almost perfume like. Do I get vanilla in this? Not particularly. This doesn’t smell how I thought it would be but it’s still really, really good and a beautiful scent.
Strength & Performance
This is what I would call a mini reed diffuser which is better suited for small rooms or spaces. I put this in my downstairs toilet one afternoon, not thinking anything about it. The next morning as we were all rushing out of the house, I went into it and smelt what I thought was a perfume. I assumed my daughter had blitz herself with one until I realised it was the reed diffuser! The fragrance is noticeable, not strong but not weak either. Just the right strength where it smells great but not heady. I thought it did so well in such a small space. Longevity? I can’t comment on yet as it’s only been used for a few days but so far I’m very pleased.
Issues?
The wooden rim that comes with the diffusers doesn’t screw around the top, it just sits on it clumsily which I didn’t like.
Recommended?
The fragrance name and how it actually smells isn’t the same, but it’s still gorgeous and I adore it! I didn’t expect the diffuser to do the job so well because of the size, and dare I say I wasn’t sure about the quality, but it’s good! Packaged nicely, smells great and actually smells like a fragrance you would wear not for the home. Definitely recommended! I will be going to my local store to see what else they have in this range and if possible get a bigger version of this!
