If you’re new to scented oil diffusers
These aromatic products are a natural, long-lasting option if you’re looking to relax, unwind and freshen up your home’s environment. Scented oil diffusers (e.g. Reeds/Mist Diffusers/Liquid Electrical Plug-ins) are known for their calming properties because of the essential oils they contain, making them the perfect addition to any household. Many diffusers come in different forms and work by flowing your favourite oil scents around the room, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the aroma.
How a fragrance oil diffuser works
Oil diffusers are popular devices that can be used in any room throughout the home, dispersing fragrances into the air to help create a pleasant atmosphere. Depending on your preferences there are a few options you can choose from when adding a fragrance oil diffuser to your home.
Benefits of using an oil air diffuser
Using an air diffuser that uses essential oils can be very beneficial. It can help you to include essential oils in your daily routine, so you can enjoy the benefits of them in the comfort of your home:
- Improve air quality by neutralising bad odours
- Promote relaxation with scents like lavender
Different types of room oil diffusers
When it comes to deciding which one is right for you and your home you have a variety to choose from:
Mist diffusers
One option you could consider are battery-operated devices, such as our Essential Mist Diffusers. This battery-operated device works by diffusing fragrances infused with natural essential oils into a mist. As it disperses the uplifting fragrance, the device glows and transforms the atmosphere of your bedroom, living room or home office for up to 45 days (based on lowest setting). You can also adjust the intensity with 4 different settings!
Reed oil diffusers
If you’re looking for an alternative option, you could opt for a non-powered product like our Reed Diffusers. These use rattan stems to channel the fragrance out of the oil and release the aroma into the room.
How to choose the right aroma oil diffuser
Choosing the one for your home can make all the difference in creating the perfect ambience. Here are some expert tips to help:
Consider the size of your room
Some oil diffusers provide different coverage areas. If you have a large living room, or an open floor plan, opt for a room oil diffuser with a larger coverage area to ensure that the fragrance reaches every corner of the space.
Look for diffuser capacity
The capacity of an oil diffuser determines how long it can run before requiring a refill. If you prefer longer diffusion times, choose a diffuser with a larger capacity. The Air Wick Essential Mist Diffuser lasts up to 45 days on its lowest setting, whereas an Air Wick Reed Diffuser lasts up to 28 days, so it’s entirely up to your preferences! Another key thing to consider is how often you’d like to change scents. If you like to mix things up and change scents for the season, a smaller capacity diffuser may be more suitable.
Check for additional features
Some aroma oil diffusers come with built-in timers, adjustable mist settings and lighting options. Consider which features are important to you and choose a diffuser that meets your needs.
Choosing essential oils for your diffuser
One of the key benefits of using an oil diffuser is the freedom to swap in different fragrances and create a personalised experience in your home. We have an essential oils guide to help you understand the different aromas!
