Wooden Reed Diffuser

This diffuser set brings the essence of the forest indoors, featuring pruned himeshara (tall stewartia) branches gathered in Ōdai, Mie Prefecture and fragrance water infused with natural woodland aromas. Reflecting the vast landscape of Ōdai’s forests, which cover 93% of the area and which are home to over 500 tree species, the distinctive scent is produced from trees from the region.

A blend of essential oils from hinoki (Japanese cypress) and sugi (Japanese cedar) is combined with aromatic distilled water from kuromoji (Japanese camphor), tamushiba (anise magnolia), kanakuginoki (red-fruit spicebush), hinoki and sugi. The result is an aroma that recreates the forest within the home, adding a touch of shinrinyoku (forest bathing) to daily life.

As a natural product, the reeds may sometimes exhibit small amounts of mould growth. In cases of mould, simply wash off using water, dry in the sun and place in fragrance water.

The colours of the fragrance water may change due to the branches, however, there is no negative effect on the fragrance of the product.

Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Keep out of reach of children.

Avoid direct contact with the fragrance water; if contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.

The aroma of the fragrance water will last 1.5 months from opening and will keep for a year when unopened.

This set includes glass vase, three sticks of himeshara (tall stewartia), two wooden diffuser sticks made from tamushiba (anise magnolia) and hinoki (Japanese cypress) and a pack of fragrance water.

Size when assembled : Approximately W29 x D18 x H9.5cm
