On a Wick and a Prayer – Ebony Orchid Reed Diffuser.

Love candles and scenting your house? I do, but with 3 small children and a dog I have to take extra care when lighting a candle. I have been described as a ‘sieve head’ in the past and I will admit there is some truth in this – I am a little forgetful! I tend to veer away from candles as I have left the house and raced back many times forgetting to blow out a candle!

It is for these reasons I favour reed diffusers. ‘On a Wick and a Prayer’ have a great selection of both candles and reed diffusers and with UK shipping included in the price, their website is one of my favourites. An added bonus is the reassurance that all the products are made on site by the team in the Peak District.

The Diffusers all come as a wooden corked bottle, diffuser reeds and oil. There are 18 different fragrance diffusers to choose from. This took me some time as there are some really beautiful diffusers on show and I couldn’t make up my mind! The oil can also be bought separately.

My present diffuser is ‘Ebony Orchid’. The scent is quite manly with a black diffuser bottle. Maybe this is originally intended for men, but I really like the scent. Sometimes I feel like a change from the usual feminine scents and prefer something a little more masculine.

Ebony Orchid sits in the windowsill of my little downstairs toilet but the scent travels through the house. This can last for 6-8 weeks and for an extra boost, just flip the reeds the other way around. Simple, and no worries of burning the house down!

The scent is available as a candle also, within a beautiful black gloss container.
