Description

Courageux Reed Diffuser is a perfumer-designed botanical home fragrance created for continuous, low-maintenance scenting throughout your space.

Its reeds gradually release fragrance into the surrounding air, allowing brighter botanicals and deeper aromatic notes to unfold naturally throughout the day. Ideal for living spaces, home offices and entryways, the 140ml diffuser offers approximately 4–5 months of continuous fragrance with four reeds and weekly rotation, without the need for flame, heat or electricity.

Its fragrance composition is crafted entirely from pure essential oils, natural botanicals and aromatic resins. Italian bergamot and sweet orange open with vivid citrus before Bulgarian clary sage and Damask rose move through the heart, settling into Himalayan cedarwood, vanilla and frankincense.

Fresh yet grounded, Courageux leaves the room feeling uplifting, confident and composed.

Ingredients

Isopropylideneglycerol*, Fragrance (Parfum).

*Don't let the long name worry you — Isopropylideneglycerol is a gentle, plant-derived carrier made from vegetable glycerine. It has no scent of its own; its only job is to hold the fragrance and release it slowly and evenly, so your diffuser smells as beautiful in week twelve as it does on day one. It's alcohol-free and isn't classified as flammable, making it a safer choice for the home.

Aromatic clary sage moves through soft rose, bringing a herbal, lightly floral warmth to the centre.

Why it is different

Fragrance for dogs, held to a fine-fragrance standard

Most dog sprays mask. This is a composition — built to a brief by our in-house perfumer, then reformulated until it behaves on a coat.

Used by vets & groomers Australia wide

Assessed against the current IFRA Standards, the same framework used for fine fragrance.

Made to linger

Composed to linger on the coat for days rather than fill the room, so it never overwhelms a dog’s nose.

Formulated & poured in-house

All of our products are formulated, blended, bottled and assembled in-house — quality control and compliance are our top priority.

Formulated for hounds Water-based, alcohol-free Perfumer-designed Up to three days on the coat

Perfumer's notes

Composed by a perfumer, for a household with a dog in it

Courageux was inspired by the feeling of opening a window on a fresh summer morning and taking that first deep breath of the day. Cool air moves through the room, sunlight starts to spill in, and everything feels a little lighter. It captures that quiet sense of optimism — the feeling of a new day beginning, with nowhere you need to be just yet and the sense that something good might be ahead.

Before you buy

The questions we get asked

What makes the Aromatherapy Inspired Reed Diffusers different?

These diffusers combine continuous home fragrance with the botanical character of our Aromatherapy Inspired Collection. They are ideal for people who prefer fragrance that feels fresh, naturalistic and atmospheric rather than distinctly perfume-like.

How long does a Reed Diffuser last?

Our 140ml Reed Diffusers are designed to provide approximately 4–5 months of fragrance when used with around four reeds and flipped approximately once per week. Room temperature, airflow, reed quantity and how frequently you turn the reeds can all affect usage rate.

How strong is the fragrance?

You can adjust the scent intensity yourself. Use fewer reeds for a softer background fragrance or add more for greater diffusion. Flipping the reeds will also temporarily increase fragrance presence.

Are the Reed Diffusers hound-friendly?

Our home fragrance range is developed with hound-sharing households in mind, but concentrated diffuser liquid should never be applied to or ingested by a hound. Position the vessel somewhere stable and completely out of reach of pets, and use it in a space with normal airflow.

As with any fragranced product, individual sensitivities vary. If your hound appears uncomfortable around a fragrance, stop using it in that space.

Are these a good option if I don't burn candles?

Yes. Reed Diffusers require no flame or electricity and continuously scent the surrounding space, making them particularly useful in areas where you want fragrance throughout the day.

Where should I put my diffuser?

Choose a stable surface with some natural air movement but avoid placing it directly beside an open window, heater or strong airflow source, which can increase evaporation. Keep the bottle away from pets, children and surfaces that could be damaged by spilled diffuser liquid.
