Diatomite Diffusion Stone
A diatomite diffusion stone is a porous, absorbent disc used for aromatherapy by applying a few drops of fragrance oil, which gradually releases scent into the room. It is made from diatomite with no chemical additives and features antibacterial, non-slip properties. Dimensions: 3.5 cm high and 6 cm in diameter, includes a cork disk to protect surfaces; allow the stone to dry completely in sunlight every 7 to 20 days for best performance.

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.

A beautiful stone but…
…it takes a lot of essential oil to keep the aroma going.
pas très efficace
Ne sent pas longtemps
Jolie mais efficacité incertaine
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
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
I love the look of this but unfortunately it does not diffuse any scent from my essential oils.
Lacking Staying Power
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
Il faut mettre beaucoup d'huile essentielle, et la capacité de diffusion de l'odeur est assez restreinte. Trop discrète.
Aucune effluve de l’huile essentielle
Non pas du tout efficace

Subtle diffusion, longlasting smell, cute !
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!
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.

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.
