When it comes to wellness trends, diffusers never get old. Aromatherapy is a time-tested practice used all around the world to soothe anxiety and stress, sinus and sleep issues — even chronic pain and certain skin conditions. But regardless of the innumerable benefits of aromatherapy, who's ever been mad about catching a whiff of something delicious?
Diffusers, which use essential oils to fill any space with calming scents, involve less hassle (and flammability) than a candle or an aerosol spray. Whether you're a lilac lover or a fiend for french vanilla, diffusers are widely beloved by massage therapists and aromatherapy professionals for the peace and calm they endow upon a room.
If you're looking to drastically change up the vibes of your home or office without putting in much effort, the following essential-oil diffusers will transform any space — whether it's a bathroom, bedroom, or living room — into a calming oasis. Inhale. Exhale. Much better.
1 PS 3-in-1 Oil Diffuser
The PS 3-in-1 Oil Diffuser ($30) is adjustable, with a bunch of different settings to create different atmospheres. The natural sounds setting offers soothing noise therapy, plus you can play with ambient light modes and the intensity of the misting spray. Learn more in our review of the PS 3-in-1 Oil Diffuser.

2 Serene House Ranger Travel Aromatherapy Diffuser
For seriously calming energy everywhere you go, take the Serene House Ranger Travel Aromatherapy Diffuser ($23) with you. This little ceramic guy is super simple to use at home or on the go — just add water and your favorite essential oil, then hit the power button.
3 Asakuki Premium Essential Oil Diffuser
The Asakuki Premium Essential Oil Diffuser ($26, originally $36) does double duty: It gently purifies the air while also filling it with the delightful aroma of your choice. The 500ml tank means you'll have to refill it less often. It's easy to clean and lights up in seven LED colors to fit any mood.
4 Organic Aromas Raindrop 2.0 Nebulizing Diffuser
The Raindrop 2.0 Nebulizing Diffuser ($99) from Organic Aromas is a little on the pricy side, but it promises a purer and more concentrated diffusing experience than others. What makes it different is that it doesn't use any water — just an air pump to distribute the oil throughout the room. The rainbow LED lighting option is just the icing on the cake.
5 Vitruvi Porcelain Essential-Oil Diffuser
The luxe Vitruvi Stone Diffuser ($123) is worth the investment because no only is it so chic, it also has an automatic off switch, so you don't have to think about it. Made from porcelain, this diffuser will send soothing scents throughout spaces up to 500 square feet.
6 Urpower Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser
The Urpower Aroma Essential Oil Diffuser ($30) is working overtime as a humidifier, night-light, and diffuser all in one. It's the top choice on Amazon, and we can see why. It's affordable, doesn't take up too much space, and it changes colors.
7 Urpower 500ml Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser
If you'd like a slightly larger option than the 200ml, the 500ml Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser ($25) gets the job done and then some. Like its 200ml sister, this large tank provides a strong mist and lights up in seven LED colors, but its larger capacity means you have to refill it less frequently.
