Product Insights
Simons' Canadian-Inspired Diffuser Our History, Our Heritage Collection is a 69 CAD, in-stock, one-size 175 ml reed diffuser line made exclusively for Simons by Vancouver Candle Co., handcrafted in small batches in Canada by owner Kathy Lee under a 2013-founded all-natural, ethically sourced, clean-burning maker standard. Each scent option is named for a real Canadian place, from High Park to Giant Cedars Forest, with the 1840 Quebec City line marking Simons' actual address at 20 côte de la Fabrique. The colour field is the scent picker: High Park white tea, Herring Cove amber, Bois-de-Coulonge bergamot, Giant Cedars Forest pine; Brown is the exception, naming only a colour. All four sell at 69 CAD in the same 175 ml bottle with no price or volume advantage between them. The core promise is place-inspired mood variety—fresh daytime lift, cosy spiced amber, green conifer forest—but scent structure and oil viscosity create real performance differences rather than an interchangeable lineup. Bois-de-Coulonge is the complete balanced pick, running a bergamot-lavender-musk top-heart-base arc with a musk base lingering hours and holding a room all evening. Herring Cove, with amber, tobacco and black pepper, is the warmest option for a cozy autumn or winter evening room. High Park is top-dominant and brightest in its first hour or two, then fades thin as mandarin and thyme thin first, making it better for compact rooms than large open-plan spaces. Giant Cedars Forest and High Park oxidize fastest and should be kept out of direct sun. Across the line, reeds need 36 to 48 hours to fully saturate, so day-one scent is not full strength; adding reeds strengthens throw but spends the 175 ml faster, and the bottom third of the reeds never wicks, while lighter triads wick and throw better than resin-heavy blends.
Verified claims
- Craftsmanship
- Handcrafted in small batches in Canada and handmade in Canada by Vancouver Candle Co. owner Kathy Lee in the maker's own Vancouver studio.
- Maker standards
- Vancouver Candle Co. was founded in 2013 after its founders found lead-laden wicks, petroleum and low-grade fragrance oils across mainstream candles, making clean ingredients a founding premise.
- Exclusive commission
- Made exclusively for Simons by Vancouver Candle Co.
- Place-inspired scents
- Each scent variant is named for a real Canadian place, coast to coast.
- Scent moods
- Each option carries a distinct mood, from a fresh daytime lift to a cosy spiced amber to a green conifer forest.
- Scent picker
- The colour field is the scent picker: three of the four options name scents, Brown names only a colour.
- Scent character
- High Park fades fastest; Bois-de-Coulonge the most complete; Herring Cove the warmest.
- Note timing
- Top notes fade within the first hour or two and are lost first as the oil drops; the middle and base structure carries through later weeks.
- High Park fade
- High Park's white tea, mandarin and thyme are top-dominant, brightest in its first hour or two, then fading thin.
- Bois-de-Coulonge balance
- Bois-de-Coulonge runs a full top-heart-base arc, its musk base lingering hours later.
- Onset
- Reeds need 36 to 48 hours to fully saturate, so day-one scent is not full strength.
- Bottle life
- The bottom third of the 175 ml never wicks, so the diffuser can go quiet while oil remains visible.
- Diffusion
- Throw is set by oil viscosity, so the lighter triads wick and throw better than the resin-heavy blends.
- Reeds
- Using more reeds or periodically flipping them strengthens scent; the supplier recommends at least 10 reeds per bottle, and more reeds spend the oil sooner.
- Heritage
- The line is heritage-styled with a nostalgic mood, anchored by the '1840 Quebec City' line on the diffuser, which points to Simons' still-standing address at 20 côte de la Fabrique in Old Quebec.
- Warm scent options
- Herring Cove's amber, tobacco and black pepper notes are the warm pick for a cozy autumn or winter evening room.
- Room suitability
- This 175 ml reed diffuser is best suited to a single small-to-medium room such as a bathroom, bedroom, hallway, or office; for larger or open-plan areas, use the full set of reeds, flip them regularly, or run a second diffuser.
- Oxidation
- High Park and Giant Cedars Forest oxidize fastest; keep those bottles out of direct sun.
- Scent notes
- The colour field selects the scent: High Park white tea, Herring Cove amber, Bois-de-Coulonge bergamot, Giant Cedars Forest pine.
- Brown option
- Brown is the only option value that names a colour instead of a scent.
- Variant pricing
- All four scent options are in stock at the same 69 CAD, in one 175 ml size.
- Scent place names
- High Park is named for the urban park, Herring Cove for an Atlantic cove, Bois-de-Coulonge for a Quebec City wooded estate, and Giant Cedars Forest for a BC conifer forest.
- Decorative display
- The diffuser is designed to stay out on display and doubles as a small decor piece on a shelf, console, side table, or bathroom counter.
- Low-maintenance
- It is a passive, low-maintenance reed diffuser that scents continuously with no plug-in, mist, flame, or power source; the only upkeep is occasionally flipping or rotating the reeds.

Scenting a room with a Canadian-inspired reed diffuser
This reed diffuser adds continuous fragrance to a space without needing a flame or plug, with long black reeds dispersing the scent from an opaque white bottle topped with a tartan label. Its Our History, Our Heritage line offers Canadian place-inspired scent profiles to match the mood you want, from the fresh white tea, mandarin, and thyme of High Park to woodsy pine, cedar, and eucalyptus in Giant Cedars Forest or a softer bergamot, lavender, and musk blend in Bois-de-Coulonge. It suits anyone looking to keep an entryway, living room, or workspace gently fragranced over time.[1,2]
