"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."

What makes it run out faster? Heat, sun, draughts and lots of reeds all speed evaporation - a warm windowsill or AC vent empties a diffuser faster than a cool, still shelf.
When should I refill? When the oil nears the bottom, or the scent stays weak after flipping fresh reeds - top it up before it runs fully dry.

Weeks, or the better part of two years? The answer comes down to size and a few small habits. Here is how long a reed diffuser refill really lasts.
Quick answers — read this first
How long does a reed diffuser refill last? A SOSA 300ml refill keeps a diffuser scented for roughly 8-11 months, and a 500ml for roughly 14-18 months, depending on room size, reed count and how often you flip the reeds. That is months per refill, versus six to eight weeks for a small 50ml bottle. From ₹2,399.What makes it run out faster?

The short answer
Short answer: 300ml lasts ~8-11 months, 500ml ~14-18 - months, not weeks.
The pick: the 500ml SOSA refill for the longest run - ₹3,499.
Last longer: fewer reeds, no heat or draughts, fresh reeds every few months.
Straight answer
Months per refill - and size sets the number
A small 50ml bottle lasts six to eight weeks; a proper refill lasts a season or more. A 300ml SOSA refill keeps one diffuser scented for roughly 8-11 months, and a 500ml for roughly 14-18 months. The scent you choose does not change the number much - the levers are size, reed count and airflow. Use fewer reeds for a slower release, keep the vessel out of direct sun, heat and draughts (all of which speed evaporation, and all of which matter in a 45°C summer or a sealed AC room), and flip the reeds only when you want a boost. Refill when the oil nears the bottom or the scent stays faint after flipping fresh reeds - topping up before it runs fully dry keeps the reeds working. One big refill, a cool shelf and fresh reeds, and a single vessel carries a room from one year into the next.
One line: a 300ml lasts ~8-11 months and a 500ml ~14-18; use fewer reeds and keep it cool to stretch it further. From ₹2,399.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a reed diffuser refill last?
A SOSA 300ml refill keeps a diffuser scented for roughly 8-11 months, and a 500ml for roughly 14-18 months, depending on room size, how many reeds you use and how often you flip them. That is months per refill, versus six to eight weeks for a small 50ml bottle.
What makes a refill run out faster?
Heat, sun, draughts and lots of reeds all speed up evaporation. A warm windowsill or an AC vent will empty a diffuser faster than a cool, still shelf.
How do I know when to refill?
When the oil drops near the bottom of the vessel, or the scent stays weak even after flipping fresh reeds. Top it up before it runs fully dry so the reeds never sit empty.
Refill, don't rebuy
