Coconut Papaya - Reed Diffuser

I was worried the papaya would smell fake, but it's genuinely pulpy and sweet, with the mango blossom keeping it from getting too syrupy. Three reeds in a small bathroom has lasted almost a month and it still hits you when you walk in. Exactly the tropical escape I wanted for this miserable summer.

Opened the box and the whole hallway smelled tropical before I even pulled the reeds out — that mango blossom note really carries. The papaya comes through sweet but not cloying, and it’s been going strong for three weeks without flipping the sticks once.

The scent throw is perfect for my open-plan kitchen—guests noticed it the second they walked in, even with the windows open. It's sweet and pulpy without tipping into cheap air freshener territory, and three weeks in the oil level has barely dropped.
