The scent of the Amalfi Coast
Choose between three fragrances, Giardiniello, Fioranciella, and Latte di Luna, to complete your Pietrina Diffuser Set.
Giardiniello, our signature scent, captures the golden warmth and romance of an endless Italian summer. An enchanting citrus white floral with notes of Sicilian lemon zest, Calabrian bergamot rind, jasmine, honey, amber, and vanilla. It's an ode to the art of dolce far niente — the sweetness of doing nothing — and an invitation to savour the deliciousness in everyday moments.
Fioranciella is a delicate bouquet of orange blossom, petitgrain and neroli, wrapped in Madagascan vanilla, white musk and soft patchouli — an homage to the traditional Neapolitan pastiera. It is the distinctive balance of floral, citrusy and softly refreshing notes defines Fioranciella. Not overly sweet, but warm, luminous and comforting, reminiscent of a Neapolitan kitchen in spring.
Latte di Luna is a velvety blend of warm, honeyed milk and almond, gently infused with white musk, creamy vanilla and a soft twist of sweet lemon. As comforting now as it was in childhood, Latte di Luna is the warm milk with honey before bed that settles you into a restful night’s sleep, reimagined through the golden softness of evenings along the Amalfi Coast.
Thoughtfully designed and beautifully handcrafted, the Pietrina Diffuser Set reimagines home fragrance through British craftsmanship, Italian charm, and timeless artistry. A truly innovative approach to interior fragrance and scentscaping that marks a new chapter in home fragrance.
As each piece is handmade, subtle variations in pattern and form reflect the authenticity and character of our materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pietrina Diffuser offers a soft, more delicate scent throw, similar to a reed diffuser in terms of projection.
It’s designed to gently scent the space around it rather than fill an entire room, making it ideal for smaller rooms and areas where you’re in closer contact, such as a bedside table, desk, or hallway.
The strength will vary depending on placement, airflow, and how much oil you apply. For a more noticeable presence, you can add a few extra drops or place it somewhere with a little natural movement in the air, allowing the fragrance to disperse more easily.
"I have a Pietrina Diffuser by my front door so that I'm greeted by a gentle waft of my favourite fragrance when I arrive home. It instantly relaxes me every time." - Nicole, Founder of Gallia Rae
We are proudly Made In Britain certified.
A first of its kind, the Matchbox is handcrafted in Stoke-on-Trent—the historic heart of English ceramics—and created in small batches by skilled artisans.
The Pietrina Diffusion Stone is handmade uny heritage brickmakers using traditional methods dating back to Tudor times. It's crafted from a blend of red and white Suffolk clay sourced from the very site where it is made.
Our fragrance oils are formulated and blended in the Kent countryside, thoughtfully composed for depth, complexity, and lasting presence.
On first use, apply around 10–12 drops to the surface of the stone and allow to fully absorb the fragrance.
After that, a few drops every few days or once a week is usually enough to maintain a gentle, consistent scent. You can adjust this depending on your preference.
Our fragrance oils are not 100% natural and that is a considered choice.
They are carefully formulated using a blend of natural extracts and high-quality fragrance ingredients, including nature identical components. These are molecules that exist in nature but are recreated in a controlled way to ensure consistency, safety, and longevity.
In many cases, this approach is also more responsible. Some natural ingredients can be resource-intensive to produce or place strain on the environment, whereas nature identical alternatives allow us to create the same beautiful scent with a lighter impact.
Each oil is formulated, blended and bottled in Kent, and designed to deliver a beautiful, lasting scent experience.
The Pietrina Diffuser scents your home with out the need for flame, heat, or electricity. Instead, the fragrance is absorbed into the terracotta stone and naturally diffuses gradually into the air.
What's more, the matchbox itself doubles as a decorative object.
At the heart of the Pietrina Set is a naturally porous terracotta diffusion stone, designed to absorb fragrance oil and release it softly into the air.
The stone is designed to sit inside the matchbox drawer, which must be kept open so that the stone is in contact with the air.
Simply add a few drops of fragrance oil to the stone's surface and allow to absorb. You'll notice the scent gradually diffuses, creating a gentle, continuous presence that lingers beautifully in your space without flame, heat, or electricity.
Note: The drawer must be open for the fragrance to diffuse. To stop diffusion, simply close the drawer.
The Pietrina Diffuser is perfectly suited to smaller spaces as it offers a more delicate method of scent diffusion. It also works beautifully in places where you are in close contact, such as a bedside table or desk. For enhanced diffusion, place the diffuser near a doorway or in an area you walk past often, allowing the fragrance to waft gently as you move.
A 15ml bottle typically lasts around 3–4 months, depending on how often you refresh the scent.
On first use, apply around 10–12 drops to allow the stone to fully absorb the fragrance. After that, a few drops each week is usually enough to maintain a gentle, consistent scent.
For a more noticeable presence, you can add a little more oil or place an additional diffuser in the room.
To keep your Matchbox looking its best, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth when needed. As with all ceramics, avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher. Handle with care to preserve its delicate, handcrafted finish. The diffusion stone doesn't require any washing or cleaning.
No, unlike a reed diffuser, there’s no need to turn or flip the Pietrina Diffusion Stone.
Simply apply fragrance oil to the top surface and allow it to absorb and diffuse gently into the air.
Flipping the stone won’t affect how it performs, but it is fully finished on both sides, so you’re welcome to turn it and use the reverse if you wish. Each stone has a unique marbled appearance, so you may find you prefer one side over the other.
Since our Pietrina Diffusion Stones are so effective at holding onto fragrance oil, we don't recommend using more than one fragrance oil on the same stone.
The stone can’t be washed or 'reset', so any new oil added will mix with what’s already absorbed rather than replacing it.
If you’d ever like to use your matchbox with a new fragrance, the best option is to use a second stone. Pietrina Diffusion Stones can be purchased individually here.
The Pietrina Diffuser requires no flame or heat, making it a safer option for scenting your home. The fragrance oil bottle is fitted with a child-safe cap for added peace of mind. However, we recommend placing it out of reach of children and pets.
Yes, your Pietrina Diffuser is designed to be used and enjoyed for years to come.
You can purchase additional fragrance oils separately whenever you wish to refresh or change the scent.
We recommend using each Diffusion Stone with a single fragrance, as the stone will retain some of the scent over time. If you’d like to switch fragrances, simply use a new stone to avoid blending.
New fragrances will be released over time, all designed to be used with your existing matchbox or paired with a new design
The Matchbox measures 9 x 5 x 3 cm, making it perfect for desks, shelves, or bedside tables.
The Pietrina Diffusion Stone measures 8 x 2 x 1.5 cm, nestling neatly inside the matchbox while allowing for easy removal.
The fragrance oil bottle holds 15ml of fragrance oil.
Please note that as each piece is artisanally made, slight variations in pattern and shape are to be expected. These subtle details reflect the authenticity of our craftsmanship and the natural materials we use.
