Product Insights

The Simons Maison Diatomite Diffusion Stone is a heat-free, natural diatomite and cork diffuser that provides subtle all-day scent in small spaces when used with 3–5 drops of pure essential oil, and deodorizes while naturally resisting microbial growth. Priced at $25 CAD, it costs half as much as comparable diffusers and lasts 4–7 years with periodic sun-drying and fine-grit sanding, with no ongoing costs beyond oil. However, over-application beyond 5 drops wastes oil and can stain surfaces, the scent throw is limited to a few feet for personal spaces, essential oils may eventually seep through the cork disk, and some buyers keep it for its minimalist design even when diffusion is weak.

It simply doesn’t work. No diffusion of scented oil in the room.

A beautiful stone but…

Cathy T.

…it takes a lot of essential oil to keep the aroma going.

Micheline M.

Ne sent pas longtemps

Jolie mais efficacité incertaine

Julie L.

C’est une très belle petite pierre. Pour réussir à ce qu’elle dégage assez d’odeur, j’ai dû mettre une quantité importante d’huile essentielle dessus. Aucune indication nous permet de savoir quel type de parfum serait le plus approprié. Fonctionne ok pour un garde-robe ou un meuble, mais ça ne marchera pas dans un grand espace à moins de gaspiller bcp de substance odorante.

Déçue

Hélène C.

Beaucoup d’entretien, fragile, diffusion presque nulle.

J’adore

Parfume parfaitement la pièce comme au spa. Utilisée pour la salle de bain.

Very pretty but zero diffusion

Michelle S.

I love the look of this but unfortunately it does not diffuse any scent from my essential oils.

Lacking Staying Power

Beverly W.

Unless I’m using the product wrong, it doesn’t throw off much of the oil scent for very long. I wanted a more long lasting scent

I cannot smell my oils on the stone. After a few minutes.

Très discret

Josee J.

Il faut mettre beaucoup d'huile essentielle, et la capacité de diffusion de l'odeur est assez restreinte. Trop discrète.

Subtle diffusion, longlasting smell, cute !

Emma B.

I was hesitant due to the review, but I LOVE it. I used it on my desk, to have a subtle smell floating around as I'm working : i does exactly that. Because the comments said it was too weak or not working, I went with 6 drops of essential oil : it was too much ! Just a few drops and the smell last all day, without being overwhelming. Just enough to enjoy it!

J'adore!

Julie B.

Beau, actuel et une bonne façon de mettre une belle odeur partout dans la maison. J'en ai 3 parce que j'adore ce produit.

Marielle T.

Joli mais inutile. Aucune diffusion. J'ai suivi les instructions et aucune odeur ne vient de cette pierre malgré des huiles de bonne qualité. Alors totalement inutile et totalement insatisfaite.
