In the world of home fragrance, nothing quite compares to an elegant reed diffuser. If you want to avoid the open-flame, melted wax woes that come with candles but still feel the need to make a visual statement, a reed diffuser is just what the doctor ordered. Unlike its low-key counterpart, the plug-in diffuser, a reed diffuser is equal parts personal style, seasonal inclinations, and presentation preference. Are you an artful glass jar girl or a colorful ceramic queen?

Some shoppers may associate reed diffusers with more woodsy scents, but there are actually a full range of fragrances, from fruity and floral to spicy and aromatic. Here, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites that you’ll want to keep in your living room or foyer all year long.

The Hamptons Diffuser

In need of a sunny escape? This fragrance from Glasshouse takes cues from idyllic Hamptons beaches and evokes a dreamy summer vacay with notes of iris, juniper, and teak.

Charcoal Diffuser

Breezy florals are great, but sometimes you need something with a bit more oomph to really fill a room. Those looking for an earthier fragrance will gravitate toward Charcoal, which seamlessly blends notes of cedarwood and sandalwood for a smoky, vampy aura.

Yuzu Diffuser

The latest fragrance from Carrière Frères embodies the zest and vibrancy of yuzu, which is to say it’s fresh, fun, and heavy on citrus notes. Perfect for summer, or as an antidote to a particularly dreary winter season.

Muse Diffuser

Adler’s signature head-turner motif has graced countless shelves and tabletops, and it’s even available in diffuser form. With a scent that evokes freshly cut flowers, it’s a light, breezy fragrance for the warmer months.

Reed Diffuser Set

Your next luxe reed diffuser doesn’t have to break the bank. Case in point, this offering from Cocorrína, which combines the disparate scents of rose and sandalwood for a sweet yet subtle final product.

Luce di Colonia Room Diffuser

If you haven’t yet found your Acqua di Parma fragrance of choice, well, there’s no time like the present. Insieme combines two classic aromas, lemon and amber, for a scent inspired by fellowship and gathering together. Bellissima!

Ares Scented Diffuser

L’or de Seraphine carries a wide range of illustrative diffusers, but we’re partial to Ares, which features a verdant green color palette and whimsical leopards. The scent itself is plenty woodsy, with cedarwood, sage, and papyrus notes.

Fiori di Capri Diffuser

Few things are more idyllic than escaping to the Mediterranean’s sandy shores, and Fiori di Capri puts all of that romance and sunshine into a bright, floral bottle. With citrus and floral notes, it’s the perfect summer scent—just add some cacio e pepe.

By the Fireplace Diffuser

In addition to couture, Maison Margiela also dabbles in the home fragrance world, and has a line of minimalist-chic reed diffusers. We’re partial to this smoky fragrance, which includes notes of clove oil, chestnut, and vanilla.

Amber & Moss Reed Diffuser

The reed diffusers from P.F. Candle Co. don’t draw too much attention to themselves, featuring typewriter-esque font and modest glass bottles. Notes of sage, moss, and lavender make this particular fragrance subtle yet distinct.

LCDC L'Amazzone Scent Diffuser Holder

Want to splurge on your next reed diffuser? You can’t go wrong with porcelain from Ginori 1735, and its line designed by Luca Nichetto brings color, drama, and sculpture to the room. A mix of mandarin and bergamot notes makes for a soothing yet striking overall aroma.

Bookworm Room Diffuser

Got an avid reader on your holiday shopping list? This fragrance, which incorporates notes of amber and sandalwood, should help them get through the next big pageturner.

Manhattan Candle & Diffuser Set

When it comes to diffusers, fragrance is important, yes, but so is a gorgeous vessel. This one from Baobab Collection mimics the standout architecture of New York with sweeping blue lines. The scent itself is aromatic and woody. Bonus: The kit comes with a candle as well as a new diffuser.

Rose Noire Apothecary Diffuser

Rose is a classic scent, so if you’re not sure what to gift someone, this diffuser from L’Objet feels like a safe bet. The white porcelain container will fit in pretty much any living environment too.

Le Diffuseur Spiritus Sancti

A distinctive fluted glass container holds 350 milliliters worth of scent, which should last up to four months. A recyclable, gold-toned aluminum ring cradles eight rattan diffuser sticks that passively scent your space with style.
