The Best Essential Oil Diffusers — 9 Fragrant Buys to Set the Mood for a Soothing Home Experience

This Vitruvi Stone Diffuser is our top, all-round choice, and for more than one reason. If you feared that bringing a diffuser into your home would disrupt your home décor, it's time for a new chapter: not only does this model have a 4.5-star rating based on 2183 reviews, but its stunning terracotta tone and delicate light detailing grant it a one-of-a-kind, top-of-the-class look. Thanks to four customizable settings allowing for continuous or intermittent use, and automatic shut-off when out of water, enjoying this product is a hands-off experience. Reviewers recommend placing it in smaller rooms for more intense fragrance, and mostly cite its corded setup and overtime discoloration among its drawbacks, so look after it carefully!

Speaking of hands-off experiences, this Asakuki 5 in 1 Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser comes with a remote control that will make using your home fragrance buy as easy as switching on the TV. Sitting in bed, you can control the volume of mist, the colors of the display, the timers, and more, all from across the room," said one reviewer. Complete with Japanese-style, tasteful woody detail and interchangeable LED lights, it is said to spread "long-lasting mist without constant refills", to be easily cleanable, as well as relaxing and mood-bosting. A user who purchased several similar items before described it as significantly more "powerful" than other models, adding to its value for money. Thanks to Black Friday's sales, it currently starts at just $18.99, so what else are you waiting for?

Compared to traditional essential oil diffusers, nebulizers like this one disperse scent at a much faster and more concentrated rate, making them a go-to option for those wanting to get the most out of their home fragrance device right away. But this isn't the only benefit of this Organic Aromas model: reviewers have praised its ability to dilute the scenting effect over a much longer period of time, the fact that it doesn't need any water to function — which means it's more sustainable — the high-quality of the brand's essential oils, and the ease with which it can be cleaned thoroughly. Plus, it's a quirkily stylish, and slightly witchcraft-y, accessory for your home that none of your guests will fail to notice, also thanks to its LED rainbow-carousel light to boost every mood, occasion, and scent choice.

Produced by CAMPO Beauty, this aesthetically pleasing essential oil diffuser combines an elevated, rustic design with a seamless fragrance experience. Powered by ultrasonic vibrations and heating- and burning-free, it's got an auto-shutoff mode that allows you to save on essential oils when the water runs out, and two essential settings to revolutionize your mood. Use it for three hours consistently, or four to five hours in 30-second intervals. Its woody look makes it an ideal home addition, particularly for your living room, kitchen, and boardroom, while its straightforward mode of use adds to its versatility, as reviewers pointed out. Despite the name, the diffuser also features plastic components, while its suffused LED light makes it suitable for bedrooms, too.

People who don't like the all-white, boxy look of more traditional diffusers might not necessarily be fans of this MUJI one, at least until they hear about its benefits. Described by reviewers as "soothing and refreshing", "cute and compact", the model has a built-in, warmly hued light that makes it hyper atmospheric; whether you'd like to have it sit on your bedside table or in a nook of your living room. Some buyers loved it so much that they got one for their friends and family relatives, while others even hinted at its ability to "help you breathe" better, especially if you are living on a higher floor of a building. With two adjustable LED light levels and four sets of timers, it only needs two to four drops of essential oil to work wonders. A great, and pretty affordable, find.

If you're looking for "a stylish, modern, and unique-looking diffuser that doesn't break the bank", Minidiva might just have what you're after with this design-forward nebulizer (no water needed, remember?), as reads one of the most recent reviews of this product. Complete with a soft, glowing LED light for night or mood use, it doesn't just look spectacular when in use, but even serves as a great addition to your bookshelves and coffee tables. Not diluting essential oil in any other liquid, it allows users to immerse themselves in a soft mist of scent within seconds, and comes with three spray and three timer settings for a fully customizable experience. It's also ultra-quiet, making it a great companion as you drift off at night.

This USB-chargeable, hyper-compact diffuser is the solution to scentless car commutes, and will make every hotel room smell just like your own house, or that's what reviewers say. "I take 8-hour trips one every four to eight weeks, and it really calms me while I drive," writes one owner, who adds it's "the best one I've ever bought." Complete with cotton pads to imbue in your chosen fragrance, it makes a fragrant night one simple gesture away: "I can load the pad before I leave so I don't even have to take up space in my liquid bag," says another reviewer who likes to take it with them on their travels. Have vacationing and business trips just got better yet?
