Drift’s home scent diffuser offers an elegant solution for filling your home with pleasant aromas that reflect your sanctuary. The modern design seamlessly integrates with almost any decor, ensuring the diffuser is as unobtrusive as it is successful in permeating the air you breathe with sophisticated fragrances. Select from Drift’s four available scents to create a personalized scentscape of your own. 

What is a Home Scent Diffuser? 

On the surface, a home scent diffuser disperses essential oils suspended in water to immerse an area in a particular scent. Several different types of home scent diffusers exist, each different from the next based on the scent delivery method. Many homeowners choose home scent diffusers as an alternative to scented candles, incense, room sprays, or other types of deodorizing products. 

Home scent diffusers offer several benefits, including the following: 

• Stress reduction 
• Improvement in mental clarity
• Mood uplifting
• Calming/soothing 
• Air purifying

Most home scent diffusers are relatively inexpensive investments in a better-smelling home. However, not all diffusers are created equal. Explore home scent diffuser types and discover what to look for in a home scent diffuser below. 

What Kinds of Home Scent Diffusers Can You Buy? 

Most home scent diffusers use evaporation, heat, ultrasonic waves, or an atomizer to distribute fragrance through one or more rooms. Each type incorporates advantages and disadvantages that cater to multiple applications. Learn more about the different kinds of home scent diffusers below. 

Evaporative Diffusers

This type of diffuser often combines the natural process of evaporation with airflow generated by a fan to create a more pleasant-smelling environment. Examples of evaporative diffusers that don’t use a fan include pendant jewelry and reed diffusers. While these passive diffusers don’t require water or power, they can be slow-acting and struggle to envelope larger rooms with enough scent. 

Heat Diffusers

As the name suggests, heat diffusers employ heat to warm water to a high enough temperature that it turns to steam. A heat diffuser can act as both a humidifier and a vehicle for dispersing fragrance. However, essential oils don’t necessarily mix well with heat, and many heat diffusers lack an automatic shut-off that comes in handy if you diffuse while sleeping or leave your home and forget to turn it off. 

Nebulizing Diffusers

A nebulizing diffuser harnesses the power of an atomizer and a fan to spread pleasant scents throughout multiple rooms. This type of diffuser doesn’t require water or heat and can be set up and run easily. Although most nebulizing diffusers lack a light that’s helpful for use while sleeping, the noise level — and price — can be a deal-breaker. 

Ultrasonic Diffusers

Similar to humidifiers and nebulizers, ultrasonic diffusers release essential oils and water into the air as a fine mist. These inexpensive diffusers don’t require heat and typically have one or more light settings and a large capacity water tank that supplies airflow during use. Yet, some have lights that can’t be turned off, and proper hygiene dictates thoroughly and regularly cleaning the water tank. 

What to Look For in a Home Scent Diffuser

It’s easy to compare home scent diffusers based on the fragrances they disseminate throughout the air, but these products are much more than that. Before you invest in a home scent diffuser, it’s best to think about what you want out of the product to ensure you’re purchasing the right one for your needs. For example, do you prefer a particular type of home scent diffuser — i.e., a nebulizer or heat diffuser — and why? 

Other aspects of the ideal home scent diffuser come to mind, including the materials, size, and ease of use. Is the diffuser you’re considering made from clean or sustainable materials? Do you need a larger diffuser to accommodate a larger area, or can you get by with just one or two strategically placed throughout the house? 

How Drift’s Home Scent Diffuser Works Differently 

The same luxurious signature scents Drift promises for our car air fresheners carry over to the home scent diffuser lineup. These diffusers are perfect for small and medium rooms but can easily cover larger rooms over time. Drift home scent diffusers will last up to 30 days on the highest setting, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the exclusive scents Drift offers. 

Available scents include Teak, Open Air, Grove, and Wild Lavender. Drift uses only clean ingredients, so you can rest assured these home scent diffusers are safe for your children and pets. Select from three intensity levels to keep your home smelling fresh without being overwhelming to guests. 

Here at Drift, we even went to the trouble of making the home scent diffuser’s wall plug rotational, so you can adjust it to fit almost any outlet without issue. The magnetic cover makes it easier than ever to change out scents quickly and easily.
