Olive wood · Made to order

Carved by hand,
shaped by time.

No two alike. Ever.

Handmade olive wood diffuser with reed sticks

Each diffuser begins as a single section cut from one of my own olive trunks — the reason no two sizes, and no two pieces, are ever quite the same.

Only the most beautiful part of the trunk is chosen, favouring the wood richest in knots and grain — then turned and hollowed by hand, until ready to hold its scent.

How each diffuser is made
Cutting a section of olive trunk on the band saw
01

Selection & cutting

The trunk is cut into sections on the band saw, each one chosen for the knots and figure already visible in its grain — the piece that will decide the character of the finished diffuser.

Hollowing

Clamped and bored out from the inside, section by section, until only a thin, even wall of olive wood remains around the cavity.

Sealing the cavity

The cavity is fitted and sealed with a jewellery-grade resin, cured until it fully impregnates and waterproofs the wood — the reason the fragrance never escapes where it shouldn't.

Finishing

Completed with ordinary diffuser sticks, chosen to your own taste — sold empty, as a piece of design rather than a container. The wood itself lasts indefinitely: only the liquid is ever replaced.

Made to order

Available in three sizes

One tree,
three sizes.

Small, medium, large.

Small

The 50-Year Legacy

50 years in your hands.

For wood with at least 50 years of life. Compact, intense grain, perfect for a desk, bathroom or nightstand. Each piece weighs the history of half a century.

Medium

The 100-Year Soul

A century of sun.

For wood with at least 100 years of life. Larger, more sculptural, with deeper fissures and a more dramatic grain pattern. A true statement piece.

Large

The Monumental

Not for sale. For adoption.

Trees that have seen much more than a century. Rare, imposing, very difficult to find. Due to their rarity and size, these pieces are available only via private consultation.

Every piece is unique. Hand-finished.
