Reed Diffuser Refills

First time doing the refills in the plastic to refill my glass diffuser vs the original glass diffuser purchase. I don’t think they smelt the same. It was a more muted softer smell than the original that disapated quite quickly after pouring in the diffuser. I even bought new reeds just in case. I don’t know maybe because it’s stored in plastic? 🤷‍♀️ I’ll keep getting the Reed Diffusers but not sure about the refills.
