Big size, few reeds
Long-lasting and subtle live together easily, because size controls longevity and reeds control strength - they are separate levers. Buy the 500ml refill for 14-18 months of scent, but use only three to four reeds so the throw stays gentle and even. Pair that with a naturally soft scent - Evening Calm (lavender and chamomile) or Mountain Breeze (cedar and sage) - and you get a fragrance that lasts the better part of two years without ever overpowering a room. From ₹2,399.
