We know how much you love options, so we've also rounded up essential oil diffusers we have used ourselves, for a few tried and tested Real Homes team favorites.
When choosing the best home fragrances for your place, picking a low-maintenance option like this essential oil diffuser is a great way to ensure a continuous lovely scent all the time.
Shop the ASAKUKI essential oil diffuser
When shopping for the best essential oil diffusers, finding one that offers a ton of functionality is always useful. The ASAKUKI has so many different features that are wow-worthy — even more so because of the $25.99 price tag.
“The ASAKUKI diffuser’s ultrasonic technology means it disperses scent without heat, which can help maintain the integrity of the essential oils’ benefits and more efficient for aromatherapy purposes,” explains Roxie Lubanovic, fragrance expert and co-founder of Frostbeard Studio.
She continues, “From my experience, products that offer adjustable settings for mist output can cater to large rooms as well as more confined spaces, making them versatile additions to any home.”
Roxie adds that the humidifying function is particularly beneficial during dryer months, which can increase the comfort levels in your home. If you suffer from dry skin, the ASAKUKI diffuser could be a real game-changer.
Why essential oil diffusers are useful buys
Wondering why an electric diffuser is a great choice? While similar to reed diffusers, these fill the space better and can helpfully be turned on or off.
“Using diffusers, particularly in a home setting, offers a continuous and consistent scent release which can help in creating a calm, inviting, and personalized space,” Roxie explains. “This is key in interior design, as the aroma is often considered the invisible part of a room’s ambiance."
If you’re looking for delicious essential oils to start off with, the Lagunamoon Essential Oil set from Amazon has six different scents, is made from plant-powered ingredients, and has 123,000 five-star reviews.
Roxie also says that, unlike the best candles, a diffuser like the ASAKUKI Essential Oil Diffuser can be left unattended and provides a safer alternative for scent diffusion over long periods, which is a big plus for busy households and a clear bonus for diffusers in the candles vs. diffusers debate.
