A reed diffuser moulded from white porcelain in the shape of an open blossom, the reeds rising from the center of the flower. Two hundred millilitres of Bergamot & Pink Pepper, a warm citrus-spice, bright at the top with a little heat underneath.

The porcelain is the point. Most diffusers hide in a plain glass bottle; this one is an object first, a bloom of white porcelain that happens to scent the room. The petals catch the oil as it climbs the reeds.

It lives on the entry console, the living-room shelf, the desk in the study. Turn the reeds when the scent goes quiet.

For the housewarming. For the friend who wants a room fragrance with some spine. For anyone who finds most diffusers too sweet.

200 ml porcelain reed diffuser. Bergamot & Pink Pepper scent.
