A New Chapter in the Story of Scent
Candles have long been the icons of the fragrance world - glowing flames, dancing shadows, and instant intimacy. Yet, while candles enchant the eye and heart, they are not without their limits: they require fire, demand attention, and often fall short in spaces where safety and longevity matter most.
Enter the reed diffuser which is a quiet hero in modern fragrance. Flameless, effortless, and long-lasting, reed diffusers offer a safer, more consistent way to scent our everyday environments.
Candles vs. Reed Diffusers: A Gentle Comparison
Candles: Atmosphere, ritual, the magic of flame.
Downside: fire risk, soot, limited burn time.
Reed Diffusers: Safe, constant fragrance, worry-free.
Downside: lacks the visual drama of a candle flame.
Rather than replacing candles, diffusers complement them, each shining in its own way.
The WickStories Difference
We’ve walked the aisles of countless trade shows and browsed through endless shelves. What we saw was sameness: small transparent bottles, limited sizes, predictable design. We knew fragrance deserved more.
Here’s how we’re changing the story:
Advanced Low-VOC Formulation
Our diffusers use a proprietary low-VOC base, designed to meet strict environmental and safety standards.
Backed by certified lab reports, they are safer for both people and the planet.
Design and Size Variety
From elegant 100ml bottles for intimate home, office spaces to grand 2L designs for hotel lobbies, we offer fragrances that adapt beautifully to different settings.
Distinctive vessels that merge functionality with modern design.
Premium Longevity
Thanks to high-quality fragrance oils, our diffusers last longer than most.
Small spaces like bathrooms and bedrooms need only 3-5 reeds, with a 100ml diffuser lasting over 3 months.
Where Reed Diffusers Shine
Hotels & Hospitality
1-2L diffusers, paired with 12-24 reeds, gently scent a lobby for 90-180 days.
Cost analysis: a 2000ml diffuser lasting 180 days equals less than $0.8 per day for a welcoming, signature fragrance.
Homes & Offices
100/200ml diffusers: 3 - 6 reeds, perfect for bathroom, bedrooms, studies and smaller living areas.
500ml diffusers: 6 -12 reeds, ideal for open-plan living or office spaces, lasting 90-180 days.
Small Spaces: Bathrooms & Closets
Just 3-5 reeds are enough to elevate compact spaces.
With our premium oils, a 100ml diffuser easily surpasses 3 months, at an average cost of less than $0.20 per day.
Spas & Retail
Pair diffusers for background fragrance with Room Sprays for instant bursts of scent.
