Pencil Shavings Reed Diffuser
A Warm, Woody Reed Diffuser with a Nostalgic Character
Fill your home with the distinctive and comforting scent of freshly sharpened pencils. Pencil Shavings is a warm, woody fragrance with a nostalgic character - familiar, unusual and beautifully refined.
The fragrance begins with warm spices and myrtle, leading into a woody heart of cedar, amber and cypress. Together, these notes create the unmistakable impression of fresh pencil shavings while giving the fragrance a sophisticated, home-fragrance finish.
Vetiver, creamy sandalwood, rosewood and musk form the base, adding warmth, smoothness and lasting depth as the fragrance gently fills your space.
Ideal for hallways, home offices, living rooms and cosy reading spaces, this reed diffuser is a wonderful choice for anyone drawn to woody, musky or atmospheric scents.
Presented in Simon James Home’s signature style, our reed diffusers are designed to provide a continuous fragrance experience without the need for a flame. Pencil Shavings is made with care in small batches and packaged using plastic-free, recyclable materials. We also plant a tree with every order.
