The Hartwynd
Wellspring
A well of quiet in glass, on a turned beech base with a single brass button. The only thing your oil ever touches is glass.
Most diffusers hide their work inside plastic. The Wellspring shows it.
Plastic tanks react with essential oils; over months they cloud, degrade, and dull the scent. The Wellspring's vessel is glass through and through — water and oil turn to mist in plain view, lit softly from below, and every scent arrives exactly as it was pressed.
Glass Above All
The vessel is glass, not a plastic tank in disguise. Oil integrity is the whole point.
Turned Beech Base
Shaped from a single piece with a lone brass button. One press for mist and light; a second to rest the light; a third to rest the vessel.
Lit From Below
A soft underglow turns the working water into a small, moving lamp after dark.
Three unhurried steps
Fill to the line
Water to the fill line of the glass vessel.
A few drops of oil
Three or four drops of your chosen note is a full day.
One press of brass
Mist and underglow wake together. Press again to rest.
A note on the materials: beech grain varies from base to base, and hand-finished glass carries the faint seams and rare bubble of its making. We consider both the signature of the process, not a flaw in it.

“You can see the mist being born in the glass. I did not expect to enjoy watching a diffuser as much as I do.”
“The single button is smarter than it sounds — light without mist is exactly what I want at 9pm.”
“I switched from a plastic-tank machine and the same oil genuinely smells cleaner. I assumed that was marketing. It is not.”
“Small, heavy enough to feel serious, and the beech is beautifully finished.”
“The underglow is my favorite feature. It reads as candlelight from across the room.”
“Quiet enough that I have leaned in to check it was on. It was.”
Live with it for a month. If your desk is not the calmer for it, send it back.

Before you order
How long does one fill last?+
The 80ml vessel carries a normal working evening on one fill, misting in gentle cycles. It shuts itself off the moment the water runs out.
Can it run light-only?+
Yes. One press wakes mist and light together; a second press rests the light and keeps the mist; the cycle takes you to light-only and off.
Is it loud?+
It is ultrasonic and whisper-quiet — closer to the sound of a page turning than an appliance.
Which oil should I start with?+
No. III Eucalyptus for morning focus, No. I Cedarwood for the library mood. The Scent Library page walks through all three.
What does the warranty cover?+
One full year against any fault in the glass, beech, or electronics — repaired or replaced without fuss.
The desk's centerpiece awaits
The Wellspring keeps the morning; the Lamp Diffuser owns the evening — walnut, brass, and a warm Edison filament over the same quiet mist.
