- Low maintenance - the diffuser only needs to be refilled every 16 weeks.
- Long-lasting - the flower has a long life span and holds the scent very well, once it has dried up you can move the flower to the car to get extra time from your flower.
Cons:
- Can soak up fragrances quickly - the fragrance roughly will be soaked up within 5/6 weeks but don't be deceived the flower still holds a lot of the aroma.
- Potentially messy - if the diffuser is knocked over, the oil can spill and stain surfaces.

Pros:
- Customizable - the number of reeds used can be adjusted to control the strength of the fragrance.
- No heat source - reed diffusers do not require electricity or an open flame.
- Long-lasting - once used correctly and you remember to flip the reeds then these diffuser can last for up to 16 weeks.
Cons:
