I am obsessed with making sure my space reflects my mood, whether it's to unwind or uplift. My commitment to scent styling never wavers—I layer scents like perfume, happily lighting candles and arranging reed diffusers for a dramatic impact. Some would say I'm addicted if they watched me struggle to shut my closet filled with candles, but nothing has been able to stop me from skipping to the candle aisle in the store until now. Enter: Pura, the smart fragrance diffuser I've been raving about for months.

This affordable, Live Better Award-winning plugin diffuser allows you to customize the scent in your home from your phone! Set up the schedule and scent intensity to come home to an experience that beckons you to nap on your couch a little longer.

How to Use the Pura Diffuser

As a visual learner, I was pleased to see simple instructions upon opening the device. Twist the face of the diffuser and slide in the fragrance of your choice until you hear a small snap. The plug-in includes slots for two fragrances! Next, you should download the Pura device (it's very simple to navigate) and connect your Wifi.

Setting Up Your Fragrance Schedule

With the opportunity to connect multiple Pura plugins in your home to the app, you can assign each room a name and schedule. Tap on the calendar icon to adjust when the diffuser should start up. I personally stick to warm amber notes at night (Brooklyn Candle Studio's Santorini scent will make you swoon) and a bright pepper or fruit scent for the daytime. The schedule can be edited further to include start and end times, the days of the week, intensity, and my personal favorite—the night light. The ambient light can glow in any color of your choosing whenever you want it to. So instead of stumbling in the dark and kicking your dresser, your pathway to the restroom or kitchen is basked in a lovely glow.

Why I'm Obsessed

I've had my fair share of "Did I blow out that candle?" moments that bolt me out of sleep, but with Pura, I can rest assured that my home smells incredible and remains intact. And honestly, I love inviting guests over and having them look everywhere for the candle and finding none.

At $44.99, The Pura Diffuser is the smartest way to save money and spend wisely. The diffuser refills are not only less than the candle you have stashed away, but it lasts a lot longer! Depending on the scent intensity chosen on a scale of 1 to 10, your fragrance can last over 100 hours. And with the clever feature to swap scents daily from your phone, you're saving so much more than you would be buying a vessel of your go-to candle.

With the hundreds of capsules available on their site, you can fall in love with new scents or stock up on goodies from your favorite candle brands. Our editors were ecstatic to find that LAFCO's highly requested and tested celebratory Champagne fragrance was available too. When you're low on a household favorite, the app includes a storefront of every scent, including bestsellers like Volcano, Grapefruit, and Frasier Fir. Plus, it's the perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays.

As someone who mulls over the moment my favorite candle has nothing left to burn, I'm glad to give my candles (and debit card) a break. Fall in love with Pura yourself thanks to the 20% off the brand is offering our All Access readers! Not a member? Sign up here.
