The great thing about an electric diffuser

Achieving good home fragrance is something of a skill and electric diffusers are an increasingly popular way to help keep your home smelling gorgeous (while boosting your mood).

Most people tend to rely on scented candles or at a push, a reed diffuser but a well-scented home comes down to a great cleaning regime and then the careful layering of scents.

A good electric diffuser carefully pumps out essential oils, filling a room with fragrance without overpowering, whilst also adding moisture to the air. The ones we've selected also act as lamps and make perfect bedroom night lights.

The great thing about an electric diffuser is that they're cheap to run (just a few drops of essential oil and some water and you're away) and they can be left unattended, on various time settings, so they can fill your home with relieving or invigorating scents while you potter about.

Below are three electric diffusers we've tried, loved and recommend.
