Machair Flowers Reed Diffuser - Isle of Skye Candle Company

Machair is a word of Gaelic origin that refers to the grassy area found on parts of the northwest coastlinesand is particularly gorgeous and prevalent in the Hebrides. It’s a very fertile spot and the floral notes of our Machair fragrance come from the colourful wildflowers that grow here. Subtle hints of kelp harmonise with harebell, gentian, orchid and bluebell are brought together to create a botanical scent.  For us, this is the scent of the Scottish shorelines and we love seeing the machair come into bloom in spring and summer. If you love the coast but don’t live as close to it as you’d like, this is the scent to transport you there.

Diffuser Care

Our diffusers tend to work best in warm rooms with good air flow as the heat encourages evaporation of the oil and good air flow helps to dry the reeds and fill the air with scent. This isn't to say they won't work elsewhere but is something to bear in mind if you're finding it giving off a weak scent.

The diffusers tend to start throwing their fragrance about an hour after you place the reeds in the oil. This can vary though, depending on which fragrance it is as some of the oils that are used in each fragrance are lighter than others and will diffuse into the air quicker. 

If you have guests over and want a quick release of fragrance you can always flip the reeds over. This will give an instant burst of fragrance with the oil not relying on being driven up through the reeds by diffusion alone.

Be careful when handling used reeds or the oil and be sure to keep them out of contact with any surfaces, as if left for a while, like any fragrances products they can cause them to stain.
