Why does a reed refill last longest? It releases scent passively and continuously from a big reservoir of oil on a slow-wicking base - no burning, no spraying, no rapid evaporation.
How does it compare to candles and sprays? A candle scents only while lit; a spray fades in minutes; wax melts burn off in hours. A reed refill runs for months on one fill.
