I bought the reed defuser as a gift for my daughter for Mother’s Day. I went over their house again not too long ago and was hit with a soothing and calming aroma that was almost spa-like. It was the defuser….. now I need to go get myself one as well!!!

A few sprays of Juniper-Redwood make for a welcome refuge at home after the day’s labor. Equally, a few sprays of Sea Ranch renew the spirit in the office at work.
