Is it normal for oil to creep down? A little can, if overfilled or with too many reeds. Wipe it and reduce the fill level and reed count.
How do I protect my furniture? Stand the vessel on a coaster or tray - reed diffuser oil can mark wood, stone and polished finishes.

A leaking diffuser is almost always a filling or handling issue, not a fault. Here is why it happens and how to keep your surfaces clean.

Straight answer
It is a filling and handling issue, not a fault
A leaking reed diffuser is almost never faulty - it is usually about how it is filled and placed. Overfilling is the top cause: oil above the neck climbs the reeds and can creep down the outside of the glass. Too many reeds can wick oil over the rim. A knock or tilt spills it, and on a warm day oil can seep down the outside as it wicks. The fixes are simple: fill only to the neck, wipe the outside after refilling, use a sensible number of reeds, and stand the vessel on a coaster or tray - reed diffuser oil can mark wood, stone and polished surfaces. Refill carefully with a SOSA refill. From ₹2,399.

Why it leaks, and how to stop it
1
Fill level
Only to the neck
Overfilling is the top cause. Fill only to the neck, never above, and wipe the outside after topping up.
2
Reeds
Not too many
Too many reeds can wick oil over the rim. Use a sensible number and add gradually.
3
Placement
Stable, on a tray
Keep it stable and on a coaster or tray - the oil can mark wood, stone and polished finishes if it spills.
