Four More, and Why They're Different

The reed diffusers are here, in four scents of their own — deliberately not the same four.

A month ago we wrote about why we weren't launching a fifth scent. We meant it. So here are four.

The distinction matters, and it isn't a dodge. A fifth candle scent would have had to earn a place alongside four that already work. These are a different product doing a different job, and they've been given their own fragrance family rather than being borrowed from the candles.

Atrium

Sparkling bergamot over earthy vetiver and warm amber. Fresh at the top, grounded underneath. Made for open-plan homes, kitchens, the rooms that connect other rooms.

Horizon

Bright citrus settling into soft musk and a thread of oud. Modern and clean without being cold. Entrance halls, offices, spaces you want to feel awake.

Parlour

Smooth sandalwood, golden amber, soft musk. Warm and familiar from the moment you walk in. Living rooms, studies, anywhere people linger.

Gallery

Delicate lily and soft violet over powdery florals. Bright, clean, quietly composed. Bedrooms, dressing rooms, quiet interiors.

Why not just diffuse the candle scents?

Because a diffuser works differently. There's no heat, no melt pool, no flame doing half the work — just oil climbing reeds and evaporating at room temperature, continuously, for weeks. A fragrance built for that behaves differently from one built to be warmed. We'd rather compose for the format than translate into it.

200ml, R350 each. Four scents, four rooms, no candle required.
