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™ Reed 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.

Thank you for reviewing this base! We developed this base mainly with reed diffusers in mind and haven't tested it with other sorts, like electric diffusers. Depending on the sort of diffuser your clients use, it may be possible to test - we cannot guarantee compatibility, though. Before testing, it's important to check through the diffuser's manual to ensure you aren't voiding any warranty. If you've got additional questions, reach out to us at [email protected]!

Amazing Diffuser Base

This base is the best! I've tried the eco one and it has a smell to it. I have also tried a few from other suppliers that didn't work well or were really thick. This one is hands down our go to!

Great Base!

I love this base, it works great with all of my fragrances. The eco base has a strong odor and this one does not.

Great base

this is a great base wish there were more fragrance options to use, and how can we get information on the ingredients for this base so I can label product correctly

Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for your review. For finished diffuser labeling purposes, you are not required to have an ingredients label on diffusers, however, if you choose to include one, you can simply put diffuser base as it is recognized in the US that the individual components are trade secrets. A member of our Support team has also reached out to assist with finding compatible fragrances!

Works Great

Works well with many other Fragrances that are not Candlescience brand. Best base that I have found and is now the only base that I use.
