Kuromoji Branch Diffuser with Essential Oil
Everyday rituals
At home & on the moveSmall enough to bring into everyday life. Choose a spot where you can enjoy the aroma close by, and let the natural branch become part of the setting.
Rest the branch on a protected tray beside your workspace for a personal fragrance ritual, without a plug or a flame.
Hang it with space around the branch, so the oiled wood cannot touch clothing. Keep it away from delicate fabrics.
Place it on a protected console or hang it in an entryway, away from direct sunlight and within reach of your daily routine.
Secure it clear of your view, controls and airbags. Ventilate the cabin, avoid direct sun and remove it from hot parked vehicles. Keep the oil bottle at home.
For fragrance close by. Keep oiled wood off fabrics and delicate finishes, and place it out of children’s reach.
The Kuromoji Branch Diffuser offers a direct introduction to one of Japan’s aromatic native trees. A natural Kuromoji branch is paired with a sample of essential oil distilled from its branches and leaves, bringing the material and its fragrance together.
Small enough for a personal space, it needs no electricity, water or flame. The dark glass sample bottle includes a dropper for applying a little oil to the branch’s recessed area. Display it on a protected surface or thread a suitable cord through the opening to hang it.
Choose a desk, entryway or closet where you would like fragrance close by. For a car, secure the branch away from your view and controls, keep the cabin ventilated and remove it from hot parked vehicles. Keep the oil bottle away from heat and sunlight, and prevent the oiled branch from touching fabrics or delicate surfaces.

How to use
Use the dropper to add a small amount to the recessed area of the branch. Start sparingly.
Allow the oil to absorb. Rest it on a protected surface or thread a suitable cord through the opening to hang it.
Add a little more when the aroma fades. Close the sample bottle and store it upright, away from heat and sunlight.
Rooted in the forests of Odai
In Odai Town, Mie Prefecture, the character of local trees finds its way into everyday life.
Odai brings the scents and textures of local trees into the home through botanical fragrance and natural wood. From essential oils to diffusers, each piece offers a small connection to the landscape it comes from.
Before you choose
Place a small amount of oil into the branch’s recessed area. Let the oil absorb before positioning the branch on a protected surface or hanging it with a suitable cord. Keep the oiled wood away from clothing, painted surfaces and other delicate finishes.
In a closet, hang it with space around the branch so the oiled wood cannot touch clothes. In a car, secure it away from the driver’s view, controls and airbags, and keep the cabin ventilated. Avoid direct sunlight and heat; remove it when parked in hot conditions and never leave the oil bottle in the vehicle.
Scent strength and duration depend on the amount of oil, airflow and temperature. This is a small diffuser for fragrance close by, with a 0.5 ml oil sample; it does not have a fixed room-coverage or fragrance-duration claim. Add a small amount again when the aroma fades.
Yes. Reapply a small amount of suitable essential oil as needed. Natural wood may retain its previous scent, so use the same oil if you want a consistent fragrance. Each branch varies in shape, grain and colour and will differ from the photograph.
