This reed base is amazing and we are selling our reed diffusers like crazy!
The key to getting the odor from the base to disappear is to stir for 3-4 minutes.
Once the fragrance oil is completely bound to the base, all you smell is the fragrance!

I don’t know why all the 1 stars… this base works amazing! I use a 5 to 1 ratio and I get nothing but 5 stars on my diffusers!

This base works just fine. It takes a very strong fragrance to work with a reed diffuser base to begin with, so I expected that and now just check the IFRA restrictions on how much fragrance can be used. Also, if you are using too much fragrance, you can clog the reeds, so be careful to not do that. If you are using fragrance from another company that has a really thick carrier base, I would not use that with a reed diffuser as it can also clog the reeds. I do agree that it's disappointing to not have an option with the large container where it is actually full. I enjoy reed diffusers in my own home and my customers seem to enjoy the look of your silver containers and this base with natural reeds. Thank you Candlescience!

I use this and the last batch I bought did not work. At first I thought it was the Reed, I used another Reed and it did not work. I have wasted money testing different reeds but non is working. After my testing I see it’s the base. I have been using this base and getting the best throw that feels a big living room. 8 customers returned this for no throw. This is a financial nightmare for me. I am soo upset I will never buy from candle science again because this is just a nightmare.

I purchase the reed diffuser base 16 oz on a monthly basis and decided this time around to purchase the jug instead of the 16 oz. I received my order, and the jug was not fully filled. I'm very disappointed I am unaware if this is the norm when ordering jug sizes if so it will be my last time.

I love this base! Especially for my holiday fragrances. Everyone loves them.

I followed the instructions provided. Unfortunately, I have now wasted my expensive fragrance oil that I used to test out this base. I am so sad that it is not working out for me. I tried it with two different fragrance oils that are compatible with reed diffusers, and they keep coming out with a chemical smell and none of the fragrance oils are sticking at all to the base. I would kindly like to request some feedback on these. I am aware that I will not be able to return/refund, but I would like to provide my honest feedback on this base.

I recently switched from another brand and I’m not sure what’s going on, but there’s no smell with this base. It completely neutralizes any fragrance oil I add to it. I’ve had so many customers contact me about defective diffusers. I’m having to replace all of them and the current stock I have. It’s a financial nightmare. If you’re thinking of using this I’d recommend getting the small bottle to test instead of trusting this product is of the same standards as all the rest.

I just learned something that most of you have probably already figured out, but in case you are a newbie like me...There are a list of Candlescience fragrance oils that are compatible with the diffuser base on the site. I made several diffusers...some where amazing and some were terrible at throwing any scent. I couldn't figure out why and just kept trying random scents I loved. I now realize it's because only some of these are compatible with the bases. It turns out (duh!) that the ones that throw a great scent are the ones listed as compatible and vice versa...if they aren't listed they don't seem to throw a scent. Just thought I would share this in case I'm not the only one who hadn't realized!

Not sure if I am doing something wrong, ( followed the directions!) but my blends I made with this smell chemical-y after 3 months bottled up. The opened bottle of diffuser base I used to make them also smells, and it has nothing in it except for the base. Does this deteriorate with time or change? Was just wondering... Between vendor fairs and not sure if I can or should use this in my products or not!
