@goldensrbest,   I had the same problem with reed diffusers.  A better choice is to buy an electric diffuser where you add water and essential oils.  I recently purchased one for $19.99 and it changes colors if you want it to and there is an automatic shut off too.  I love it.  You do not hear any noise at all.

I LOVE the ones from Pottery Barn.

 

I have tried Joy's - they were TERRIBLE!!!

 

I would rather pay more and get a quality product.

I absolutely love Casa di Francesa which used to be sold on HSN by Katie Borghese.  I now order them from her website.

Of the scents I have tried at Reed Diffusers dot com, the scents do last.

 

However, keep in mind it takes a while for the scent to make it's way UP the reed and to get into the air.

 

I have found it takes a few days for the scent to become evident.  If you are looking for a "whole house" scent solution, this might not work for you.

 

Within the room, the scent is evident.  And, after a few days I catch a slight scent, but it is not a strong throw.

 

Someone mentioned Pier 1 scents and I have found them nice as well.

 

I like diffusers because they are no fuss.  No soot, no flame, and they are subtle -- nothing to plug in or worry about.

Her fragrances were beautiful.

 

I wonder why she stopped selling on HSN.

I prefer these as well. I can never smell any reed diffuser I've ever come across more than an inch from the reeds. The mist diffusers scent a room nicely.

I first owned Trapp scented candles, purchased in a beauty supply shop .... then bought a diffuser & oil when it was on sale after Christmas.    You can buy the scented votive candles to "test drive" the scent at home before splurging on the oil.

 

Personally, I like their Orange Vanilla scent best .... it smells like how a Creamsicle would smell .... IF they had a scent, lol.

I've had success with ones I've gotten from Pier One.
