Garden Diffuser

A boxed bottle with a cluster of light sticks, ready for a quiet mantel.

This clear glass fragrance diffuser is by Ralph Lauren. Reed diffusers release fragrance without a flame, drawing scented liquid up through porous sticks that let the aroma evaporate gradually into a room. A tall navy-blue box with fine metallic lettering sits at left of a clear, many-sided bottle. The bottle is filled with pale golden liquid and capped with a dark collar. A bunch of slender, straight reeds fans upward in an uneven spray.

Tidy, tall and mildly aromatic, by all appearances.
