Is it worth it?

Yes, if the scent matters more than the name on the box. The OLGA diffuser holds 180ml, well over the 100ml the brief asked for, comes in a black glass bottle with eight reeds and a gift box, and the scent is fresh grapefruit and mango rather than something heavy. The catch is the brand: OLGA is a small UK seller, not the household fragrance name the brief wanted, and the listing cannot agree on how long it lasts, giving up to 90 days in one place, 12 weeks in another and 90 minutes in its details table.

Is it for you?

Get it if
  • A mum who likes a fresh, fruity scent rather than a heavy one
  • A hallway, landing or sitting room up to a medium size
  • A present that arrives gift-boxed
Skip it if
  • Anyone who wants a name she will recognise on the bottle
  • A mum who prefers floral or woody scents
  • A mum who already has a diffuser in every room

The honest read

What wins you over
  • 180ml, nearly twice the 100ml the brief set
  • A black glass bottle with eight reeds, in a gift box
  • A refill in the same scent is sold on the same listing
  • Sold by OLGA Fragrances and dispatched by Amazon
Where it gives
  • OLGA is a small brand, not a known UK fragrance house, which is what the brief asked for
  • The listing gives three different running times: up to 90 days, 12 weeks, and 90 minutes in the details table, which also lists the light source as a candle
  • The details table on this listing is unreliable, so treat its other figures, such as the 12 square metre coverage, with care

How we checked this · Researched, not handled · Oct 2026

Researched from the Amazon UK listing and the other sources listed here. We have not handled this product. The catch comes from the Amazon UK listing (15 October 2026).

  • Capacity (180ml), scent (grapefruit and mango), the eight reeds, the black glass bottle, the gift box and the size (9.8 by 9.8 by 23cm) taken from the Amazon UK listing, checked 15 October 2026.
  • The catch is on the listing itself: the title line says up to 90 days, the brand panel says 12 weeks, and the details table gives a runtime of 90 minutes and a candle light source. The brand is small and not a household name. The listing's wellbeing and ingredient claims are not repeated here.
  • Sold by OLGA Fragrances and dispatched from Amazon; in stock with a standard Add to Basket button at the time of checking.

OLGA 180ml reed diffuser: questions answered

How long does the OLGA reed diffuser last?
The listing is not consistent: it says up to 90 days in one place and 12 weeks in another, and its details table says 90 minutes, which is plainly an error. Going by the brand's own figures, plan on two to three months.
How big is the OLGA reed diffuser?
180ml, in a black glass bottle about 23cm tall with eight reeds. That is larger than most 100ml diffusers.
Is OLGA a well-known brand?
No. OLGA is a small UK home fragrance seller, not a household name. The diffuser is sold by OLGA Fragrances and dispatched by Amazon.
Can you refill the OLGA reed diffuser?
Yes. A 180ml refill in the same scent is offered as a separate option on the same Amazon listing.
