If you're having trouble choosing just one or are looking for the perfect housewarming present, this reed diffuser gift set comes with three classic scents: rose, lavender, and vanilla. The sweet, floral fragrances come with a bundle of reed diffusers, which you can add or remove to each bottle to find your desired intensity.

For loads of people, the smell of lavender invokes feelings of relaxation and peace. That's because it actually interacts with the nervous system and increases theta and alpha waves in the brain. No wonder the Oojra French Provence Lavender aromatherapy diffuser is so popular. It uses real lavender essential oil along with minty herbal notes and a woody undertone. The large modern decorative glass bottle complements any space, from bathrooms to bedrooms, and some buyers even use it to add an uplifting scent to their offices or studios. It's also available in two other scents: jasmine bamboo and white tea and ginger.

According to a reviewer: "The Oojra French Provence Lavender fragrance is a wonderful, complex balanced scent with lavender as its predominant note. I never get tired of it. It welcomes me into the bedroom and sets the mood for relaxation and rest. I believe I am sleeping more soundly and peacefully. I reduced the number of reeds to six which is ample for the size of the room. It is a full scent capable of filling the room, but it is not overpowering due to its balance. I will repurchase and cannot imagine being without it. The bottle is beautiful, and I love the black reeds. The presentation would make an excellent gift.!"
