Benevolence LA Lavender & Eucalyptus Reed Diffuser Oil Refill | Long Lasting Home Fragrance for Bathroom and Bedroom | Essential Oils for Relaxation - 4 oz

I've grown up always disliking the chemically / perfumey smell of air fresheners, so I always stayed clear of them. Recently I moved into a new apartment and was having guests over so I felt a little conscious so I caved and decided to buy something to help the atmosphere. While these were being shipped, I also bought some of the cheap $5 type of big name air fresheners that you plug in to a wall socket. I can tell you there is a world of difference within the first 5 minutes of comparing the two of them. For one, I chose this Lavender & Eucalyptus scent because I trying to find something inoffensive--I'd hate to be stuck with a whole bottle of a smell that was too sweet for me--this aroma is surprisingly pleasant. It has a lot of "flavor" for lack of a better word without the strong chemical / sweet characteristic cheaper ones have. The bottle is gorgeous and the reed diffusers are easy to use to control the speed of dispersion. Because I live in a small apartment and I'm sensitive, I prefer to only use one reed diffuser in the bottle, which is more than enough to have a pleasant waft in my living room, or more than enough to fill an entire bathroom and adjoining area. Perhaps most surprisingly to me is the value $20 is well in the "treat yourself" or "luxury" for me when it comes to something like scents, but in reality I've been using this somewhat consistently (at the weakest setting, which is one reed), for the past 4 months and the bottle is still essentially full. If the volume of oil was just below the neck when it arrived, well now it's decreased by perhaps around 10%. At this rate, I can definitely say that I could have this out for at least the rest of 2021. If you have a much larger space and want to use 3 or 4 reeds at a time to release proportionally more aroma, this product would still last you months. So if you use the bottle at the same rate as me, it comes out to about 2 cents a day ($20 over the course of 40 months). If you're using 5 times as much me, then that's 10 cents a day. If you use this bottle somehow 10 times as much as me (which I don't think there are even that many reeds in the box), that would still only be 20 cents a day. If you consider that this bottle not only smells amazing, but also is a beautiful display piece it's a steal no matter what. My only issues is extremely minor, if you want to close the bottle because you are leaving the house for a few days, there's no real clean way or place to put away the oil-soaked reed(s). Being annoyed with this is like saying I'm annoyed with eraser shavings when I use a pencil eraser--it's just how it is. Another issue that I'm guessing is not common is that the synthetic cork stopper for my bottle has swelled a few milimeters size since I opened the bottle for the first time. It's bulged enough that it's too tight for me to close the bottle flush--it only goes in halfway. The cap is still secure, so this minor hindrance is something I can easily overlook.

It's a very good quality diffuser. I love the black bottle. It gives it a very luxe look. The scent is very nice and not overpowering. I'm generally leery of eucalyptus because it can be too much but I was going for a spa scent for my entryway and this works great. I only use 2 sticks and that is more than enough to scent the entry area. Its subtle, looks better with just a stick or two and it will also lasts very long. I've had it several months and still halfway. I flip the reeds every couple of days as needed. This will be a repurchase. I may try the other scents as well. This would make a great housewarming gift.

The vase is super pretty and seems quite durable. I really like it it’s shiny and very easy to clean. And it’s quite functional and looks great as a part of the room decoration. As far capacity it holds the fragrance diffuser reeds really well but only the amount that it comes the fragrance can lessen over a few weeks but some does remain. And the the vase is much tinier than I thought but super pretty! I think it worth money as you can reuse it and fill with your own diffusers and liquid. But it’s very tiny must smaller than I expected!

It does not smell strong. I bought it because it seemed like an air freshener and it is not even powerful enough to provide a scent. The sticks they come with are not picking up the scent very well. But it smells good. Just not for a big room. More like if you're hovering right over it. I even have a fan next to it so that it helps waft the air to the rest of the room as one of the reviews said helped but it didn't seem to work in my case. It's been about a couple of weeks with the diffuser and I can say it sucks. Five stars for the good scent but it's not very good.

The scent is absolutely wonderful!!

Smelled amazing for about a week or two. Plenty of fluid left. Walked in one day and it smelled like cat pee only...we don't have a cat. Searched for the odor and...yup this thing apparently went bad. I took a pic of it and asked ChatGPT "My house smells like Cat Piss, could this be the cause" and it bascially explained how the oils can break down if the humidity and temp are off etc etc. Bottom line, the oil was either an old product or went bad fast.

I cound not smell anything, very disappointed.

Love the scent! Using it in the guest bathroom and receive many compliments. Long lasting. Will purchase again.

I love the not too strong lavender scent it gives the bathroom. A bottle lasted for about a year for me. I'm on the 2nd bottle. Great value for money!

I have asthma and allergies so strong smells trigger my runny nose, especially floral scents so I have to be very picky with what smells I purchase. This diffuser gives off a very pleasant, classy, soft smell. Even when I'm close by and it smells slightly stronger it does not trigger my allergies.

Looking for a fresh bright scent for the home, this reed diffuser really delivered. A bit more expensive then the other brands but well worth the money and my last one lasted for 6 months!

Smells great for a few days then the scent is basically non existent. For the price I would not recommend.

I put it on my windowsill in bedroom and love the lavender scent, especially when the window is open.
