Choose a Variant

Our Reed Diffuser Base transforms fragrance and essential oils into high-quality reed diffuser oils. It thins fragrance and essential oils so they flow up the reed easily and provide a bigger scent payoff. Many of our fragrance and essential oils are safe for use in reed diffusers.

Looking for the best performance and the most sustainable diffuser base?
Explore our new CandleScience EcoBase™ Diffuser Solution. Optimized for use with both CandleScience fragrances and essential oils, this base can be used with reed diffusers and other passive diffuser products.

Find your favorite reed diffuser fragrance by using our Fragrance Oil Finder.

Or, make naturally-scented reed diffusers with our reed diffuser approved essential oil collection.

Are all reed diffuser bases the same?
Absolutely Not! There are two big things to watch for:

1. Flow - Our reed diffuser base flows quickly and easily up the reeds, allowing the fragrance or essential oil to reach its strongest throw potential.

2. Safety - Many states have restrictions on the VOC percentage of reed diffusers. VOC's or Volatile Organic Compounds are compounds that are harmful and create indoor air quality problems. Our reed diffuser base is non-toxic, and VOC compliant in all 50 states, so you can be confident that your reed diffusers meet indoor air quality regulations. This product does not contain DPG.

Excellent Reed Base

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!

Best Diffuser Base

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!

Works Great

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 just learned something!

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!
