Introducing Reed Diffusers!

Light of Lou is excited to introduce a new product, Reed Diffusers! We are offering four fragrances: Beach Linen, English Garden, White Orris and Sandalwood and White Tea. All Reed diffusers come with six fiber diffuser reeds.

What you need to know:

Continuous Fragrance: Reed diffusers provide a steady release of scent, maintaining a consistent aroma in your space.

Flame-Free and Low Maintenance: They offer a safe alternative to candles, requiring minimal upkeep.

Customizable Intensity: Adjust the strength of the fragrance by adding or removing reeds. More reeds result in a stronger scent, while fewer reeds produce a subtler aroma.

Long-Lasting: Reed diffusers can provide fragrance for several months, depending on environmental factors, making them a cost-effective option. If the scent starts to fade, try flipping the reeds first to refresh the fragrance. If the scent remains weak or the reeds look dry, it may be time to replace them.

Why Light of Lou?

Hello! I’m Samantha Lou Lause, the heart and hand behind Light of Lou. I’m so glad you’re here! I am often asked the reason for starting Light of Lou. I’ve simply always cherished finding that perfect moment to light a candle in my home - there is just something about it! It’s not just about the flicker of the flame, but the flood of emotions and memories it brings. Whether it’s the warmth of holiday gatherings or the fresh spring breeze through open windows, I believe that candles have the power to encapsulate moments of joy and nostalgia. Growing up, the changing scents of candles in our home marked the passage of seasons and became a cherished part of my childhood memories. These scents became interwoven with the joy and celebration of those times and a timeless reminder of family moments cherished and the simple yet profound joy of being together. Here at Light of Lou we strive to illuminate you and your families every moment.

It’s important to me that you feel safe and confident in the candles you light in your home. I am committed to crafting hand-poured, non-toxic, soy wax candles. I believe in transparency and trust, ensuring you peace of mind with every purchase.
