10 best diffuser oil refills for a fresh-smelling home
EVER left the house and had a horrible feeling you've left a candle on? You never have to worry about that when it comes to reed diffusers.
Sticks submerged in scented oil are a carefree way to keep your home smelling wonderful.
Whether you're one for summery floral scents or prefer more masculine, woody aromas, there are so many out there to choose from.
The concept is pretty simple, with the reeds drawing up the oil in the bottle and then all of a sudden the room smells great.
As long as they aren't dusty or broken, you can even re-use your reeds once the diffuser has run out, so when you refill it, they'll continue working.
Some diffuser manufacturers, particularly supermarket brands, don’t make refills at all which seems rather wasteful.
So you are going to buy a new diffuser for your home, it makes sense to go for a refillable model like the sweet-smelling options we’ve rounded up below.
