"I stopped rebuying little bottles. One 500ml Garden Bloom refill has kept my living room diffuser going for over a year. Same rose-and-jasmine scent, a fraction of the cost."

Should I add more reeds? Yes - reeds are the main strength lever. Six to eight for a normal room, more for a large one, and flip them to boost.
Is the oil too weak? Rarely the issue - a balanced oil plus more reeds beats chasing an over-concentrated one.

A weak diffuser usually just needs more reeds and a better spot - not a stronger oil. Here is how to turn up the throw.

Straight answer
More reeds, a better spot - not a stronger oil
A weak scent is nearly always about reeds and placement, not the oil. Too few reeds: reeds are the main strength lever, so add more - six to eight for a normal room, more for a large one - and flip them to coat the dry ends. Clogged reeds: old reeds wick poorly, so refresh them. A poor spot: a cold, sheltered corner mutes the throw, and a big or open-plan room needs more reeds to fill. Move the vessel somewhere warmer and more open, and keep the oil topped up with a SOSA refill so the reeds always have fragrance to draw on. Do not chase strength with an over-concentrated oil - more reeds is the real fix. From ₹2,399.
One line: a weak diffuser needs more reeds, fresh reeds and a warmer, open spot - not a stronger oil. From ₹2,399.
Keep the reeds fed - top up with a SOSA refill, from ₹2,399.

How to turn up a weak diffuser
1
Reeds
Add more, flip them
Use six to eight reeds (more for a big room) and flip them to boost. Fresh reeds beat clogged ones every time.
2
Placement
Warmer and open
Move it somewhere warmer and more open. A cold, tucked-away corner mutes even a good oil.
3
Room size
Match the space
A large or open-plan room needs more reeds - or a second diffuser - to fill properly.
The SOSA principle
A weak diffuser is a reed and placement problem - not a weak oil one.
More reeds, flipped, in a warmer open spot - and keep the oil full. From ₹2,399.
Keep it full
Turn up the throw - more reeds and a SOSA refill, from ₹2,399.
