Stay Fresh Anytime, Anywhere with Stylish Wearable Aroma Diffuser Pins

The sense of smell is easily taken for granted compared to sight and even hearing, but odors and scents actually have an often subtle yet significant effect on our moods and even our health. Bad smells can throw us off our equilibrium, while aromatic scents can either soothe or energize us. Unfortunately, we have little to no control over what we smell or even how we smell during the day, not unless we carry a bottle of perfume with us all the time. A more practical solution would be to have a tiny amount of your favorite fragrance on or near you throughout the day, which is what this ingenious pin offers in an inconspicuous button-shaped design.

Aromatic oil diffusers have become quite fashionable these days, coming in all shapes, sizes, and features. All of them, however, are confined to being used in rooms, often placed on a flat surface like a table or shelf. You could bring a small bottle of your favorite oil with you, but those oils are quite strong if you don’t find a way to diffuse the scent, which is what a diffuser is made for. Portable aroma diffusers are, unfortunately, still bulky and inconvenient to use, especially when you still have to take them out of your bag or purse and put them down on some surface.

The ALMA aroma pin is a simple yet elegant solution that lets you enjoy the gentle fragrance of your aromatic oils without lifting a finger. The pins are actually tiny containers that can hold a pinch of cotton where you drop some of that oil. This effectively diffuses the scent and spreads it around the button automatically; no need to put a container down or hold it in your hand. It’s like your own personal bubble of fragrance that follows you everywhere.

The pins are shaped like rather thick buttons, so it’s actually easy to disguise them and pin them on any soft material, including clothes, hats, bags, and more. Each piece is carved out of a single block of aluminum and is handmade by skilled craftsmen pouring hours of attention and love into each and every single pin. The pins are then dyed using “alumite” which gives them their lustrous colors. This process results in variations in color depending on the production lot, which gives each pin somewhat of a unique visual personality, in turn.

Thanks to their discreet, button-shaped design, these pins can be just as subtle as the scents they diffuse. Whether you want to walk around smelling fragrant all day, want to always smell your favorite oils wherever you go, or make sure your apparel and accessories don’t pick up bad odors, these stylish pins will make your day. With just a drop or two of essential oil, the aroma diffuser pin will let you carry your own bubble of fragrance whenever and wherever you go.

Foam-like terracotta aroma diffuser doesn’t need heat or electricity

Although there is still some debate on the medical benefits of aromatherapy, there is hardly any argument against the effects that scents can have on our state of mind, not to mention our physiology. Overpowering perfumes, for example, can make us sneeze or give us a headache, but gentle aromas can induce a state of calm and relaxation or trigger pleasant memories associated with those smells. Essential oil diffusers have become quite popular these days as an alternative way for some people to relieve stress, but some actually induce stress because of their poor design or complicated operation. Nothing, however, could be simpler than just dropping a few drops of fragrant oils on a surface and sitting back to relax, which is the kind of simplicity that this sustainable and unique-looking material tries to offer.

Designer: Premnath Basa

Aroma diffusers now come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. The most basic ones have ceramic or metal containers and use a candle or heat to make the oil evaporate and diffuse the scent. There are now, however, devices that use electricity to turn infused water into vapor and spray it into the air. While both types have their advantages and drawbacks, they both involve some amount of preparation, setup, and time.

A new kind of essential oil diffuser has started appearing, though, one that keeps human interaction down to a minimum, pretty much just putting in a few drops of liquid. Such products use natural properties to evaporate the liquid and natural air to distribute the scent in a room. That’s the heat-free and electricity-free experience that this sponge-like aroma diffuser is promising, but that’s not what makes this particular design special.

Despite its foam-like appearance, the material is actually made of a new kind of terracotta that mixes organic biopolymers and inorganic ceramics and terracotta clay. It’s actually that mixture, especially when dried under sunlight, that gives the hybrid organic-inorganic material its porous appearance. This new and still experimental methodology yields distinctive porosity structures, meaning that each batch is unique and one-of-a-kind.

Terracotta is popular for its absorbent qualities, making it the ideal material for sustainable humidifiers. In this more porous form, the material can not only hold oils, water, and other liquids but also let them easily evaporate to diffuse their aromas. This new kind of terracotta material not only makes for an effective and sustainable aroma diffuser, it also provides a visually interesting design that easily outclasses most diffusers available in the market today.

EDITOR'S QUOTE:

This battery-free aroma diffuser seemingly works like magic in spreading soothing scents while looking gorgeous wherever you place it.

With the almost unending causes of stress in our modern lives, many people have resorted to different methods to calm their minds and bodies, often by delighting senses other than their sight. While music seems to be the most common way to set (or break) a mood, some people have instead taken to aromas to bring them to a state of equilibrium. As such, it isn’t at all surprising that there has been an uptake in the production and sales of essential oil diffusers, many of which use electronics to create and spread vapors. It isn’t a convenient method, nor is it sustainable. Fortunately, there are better alternatives to electricity-powered diffusers, and we take a look at one of the most interesting designs to see if this battery-free beauty is worth its price.

Aesthetics

There are, of course, aroma diffusers that simply put an oil container on top of a candle flame. While they technically satisfy the sustainability requirement, they’re hardly different from electric diffusers in that their design is completely utilitarian. They fulfill a function, and that’s pretty much it. Beyond that very specific use case, they rarely have any other purpose and are most often stowed away out of sight.

The Lei non-electric aroma diffuser, in contrast, is almost like a decorative piece that already upgrades the quality of a space just by being there. It has the appearance of a very barebones miniature windmill with a single-blade fan. The all-black metal structure provides a nice contrast with any color, while its minimalist aesthetic blends well with any interior motif you might have going.

Unlike any other diffuser, Lei looks both simple and complex. The thin pieces of bent metal form only the skeleton that keeps the structure standing, allowing the viewer to see anything behind it. This theme of transparency is carried over to the left side of the diffuser, which houses the candle in a glass cylinder. This vessel shields people’s hands from the heat of the candle while also adding a bit of material contrast to the cold black metal frame.

At the same, the aroma diffuser also evokes a sense of mystery and complexity, especially when you see it working. How can something so simple and plain even function as a diffuser, especially with a fan that turns without any machinery or electricity? Your brain isn’t able to immediately make the connection between the candle flame and the turning blade, putting your mind in an almost contemplative state. Even when just passively standing as a piece of decoration, this beautiful aroma diffuser already creates an impact on your awareness and mood, setting the stage for a deeper and more emotional experience once you actually light up that candle.

Ergonomics

Although a diffuser of any sort is not something you will constantly hold in your hands, the usability of a product goes a long way in ensuring the user’s comfort. Even if you do not need to worry yourself about the risks of electricity or the availability of batteries, getting burned by hot surfaces can still ruin what should instead be a calming experience. Fortunately, Lei was designed to be super simple to use, despite its seemingly magical operation.

It doesn’t get any simpler than putting a few drops of oil on a tray that slots into the back of the fan and then lighting a candle. The glass cover around the candle not only protects anyone from accidentally touching the flame but also ensures that heat is properly directed to the metal plate above it. Cleaning the diffuser is also a simple affair since only those parts have to be regularly cleaned.

The electricity-free aroma diffuser is also portable to some extent. You can place it anywhere in the room or house as you wish without having to worry about placing it near a wall socket. That said, it isn’t exactly something you can bring with you anywhere, especially if you want to include the glass cover. And while you definitely don’t need batteries, you will have to make sure you have a supply of tealight candles ready for use. If you don’t, Lei is really nothing more than a beautiful piece of decoration that you should have left at home anyway.

Performance

This sustainable aroma diffuser is quite unique in the way it works, even among other candle-powered diffusers. Others of the latter kind often light a small fire underneath a receptacle, usually a small ceramic bowl, that heats up the oil inside it until it evaporates and diffuses into the air. That, however, has the effect of overheating the oil to the point that it actually affects the scent it gives off.

In Lei’s case, the candle only heats the metal arm above it, and this heat is transferred to a fan that uses that energy to spin slowly. The aroma from the oil is therefore preserved and is gently carried by the breeze generated by the fan. While this seemingly magical process works fine for most cases, it does come with two very important drawbacks.

The first one is that it takes a bit longer for the diffuser to actually start spreading the aroma, around two to three minutes to warm up the fan. You also have to give the blade a push to start its motion rather than having it move on its own. There’s also no option to set the intensity of the diffusion, unlike on an electric device. It is, however, still more effective than a regular candle diffuser because you can control the direction and flow of air rather than hoping for the best.

The more important consideration, however, is that room temperature can greatly affect its performance. If you put it near an air conditioner or fan, it will take a bit longer for the fan to reach the required temperature to start spinning. Placement is still important, but you have at least more freedom in where you want to put the diffuser.

Sustainability

An electric diffuser might sound like less work to get you in a state of relaxation, but only if you never stop to consider how your peace of mind comes at the expense of the planet. Most, if not all, such diffusers are primarily made from a lot of plastic, and the electronics inside them make recycling and proper disposal more difficult. Those that directly plug into power outlets also add to the overall electricity consumption and carbon footprint, even if they take only sips.

This aroma diffuser is, of course, completely sustainable, from its metal and glass composition to its use of heat conduction rather than electricity. Even the packaging itself, made from aluminum and paper, is sustainable. In other words, you can enjoy a guilt-free “Me Time” with your favorite oils, knowing that, at least in this case, you aren’t adding to the troubles of the planet.

Value

Lei is a beautiful aroma diffuser that puts sustainability at its core. It’s almost perfect, if not for the considerations about temperature and portability mentioned earlier. There is, however, one other major factor that could make or break your decision to buy one. While it is, without a doubt, a well-designed product, it is also a product that isn’t easily accessible to many people.

This sustainable diffuser carries a three-figure price tag that is almost double that of typical aroma diffusers. Admittedly, that kind of price difference isn’t exactly unusual for designer products such as this. It does clearly mark it as something made for and targeted at enthusiasts, those who greatly appreciate a beautifully designed product, as well as the pure scents of oils. For this kind of crowd, this is definitely worth the investment for both its sustainability and its aesthetics.

Verdict

Aroma diffusers today come in all shapes, sizes, and features. Some are hi-tech wonders that try to be smarter than you, while others go back to the basics with nothing more than fire and oil, with some ceramic or metal in between. This completely green diffuser is somewhere in between while also being in a league of its own. It demonstrates the best of human creativity in applying physics to something so simple yet still respects natural processes while giving it a little push. And it does so in a shape that is eye-catching yet so simple that it almost blends into the background. Elegant and uncomplicated, it embodies what a relaxing atmosphere should be.

It isn’t without its faults, though. To some extent, it is also at the mercy of the very heat it ingeniously utilizes to its benefit. It is also a representative of the stereotypical designer product that surpasses the common fare in both aesthetic and price. But for something beautiful that’s meant to last a long, long time, it is pretty much a long-term investment not only for your well-being but also for that of the planet.

This tiny bonfire combines an aroma diffuser and pocket stove to bring the outdoor experience indoor

Essential oils are quite trendy these days, and a good number of them try to recreate man-made scents like processed flowers, soft linen, or even coffee. Diffusers come in a variety of designs and gimmicks, with some using flames while others generate gentle winds on their own. Sometimes, however, your nose or your mind might be craving a specific kind of scent, perhaps from a loved childhood memory of camping outdoors or a once-in-a-lifetime trip to a mountain in Japan. Whatever the reason might be, getting your hands on an authentic mountain smell isn’t that easy. At least not without this cute mini bonfire that comes with cute mini firewood that not only lets you smell the woods but also even lets you cook like with a real campfire, all without leaving the safety and convenience of your home.

Aroma is always a touchy subject, and some people are more sensitive to certain scents than others. What might be calming for some might be irritating for others, while some might even have allergic reactions to certain oils. That said, some scents are also difficult to capture, especially using mass-produced chemicals and especially when the scent actually involves what is basically a mixture of smells coming from a variety of sources. The smell of a mountain forest, for example, can be a combination of the different trees that grow there, like how this aroma diffuser combines different trees to recreate the unique scent of Mount Hakusan in Japan.

Aroma de Camp is a rather creative take on the essential oil diffuser situation by designing the experience around a very specific theme, that of enjoying a bonfire or campfire. The “diffuser,” for example, is a miniature bonfire made of rust-resistant stainless steel. Its minimalist design and small size already make it a head-turner, especially when you add the miniature firewood that’s bundled together with a knot, just like real, normal firewood. With looks alone, it’s enough to charm any fan of the wide outdoors, but this miniature bonfire isn’t just for viewing.

Pour a bit of oil on top of the wood, and you have a natural aroma diffuser that’s sure to remind you of the mountains where all these items come from. The essential oil is made from three tree species that grow on Mt. Hakusan, and the hardwood is taken from branches that would normally just be thrown away. Together, the oil and natural wood allow the aroma of a lush forest to spread gently throughout the room, relying on Mother Nature rather than electronics to carry the scent naturally.

The camping experience, however, won’t be complete without a bit of outdoor cooking. Replace the metal fittings on both sides with the bundled metal trivets, and you’ve got a pocket stove that can really cook food when used with solid fuel. This lets you really relive those memorable outdoor experiences indoors or have an emergency stove when a conventional one is unavailable. Whether you’re trying to have a unique cooking experience indoors or simply want to imagine yourself in the middle of a mountain sanctuary, this woody diffuser will deliver a gentle forest aroma in a delightfully charming way.

This aroma diffuser and mood lamp in one has a trick to help you stay focused

Although they target different senses, aroma diffusers, mood lamps, and scented candles all have the same goal, to put your mind in a certain calm state. Although the direct effect is to put the mind and perhaps the body at ease, it also has some additional benefits, like improving one’s concentration or helping people become mindful of the present moment. These tools and devices, however, don’t have this kind of functionality built into their designs, and you have to make an intentional effort to associate the sensation with the mindset. This mood lamp concept, however, actually makes it a core part of its design, bringing together different sensations and cues to help develop a habit of focus and mindfulness without forcing the practice.

Designer: Gian Luigi Singh

Being mindful is one of the key techniques often given in order to develop a clear and present mind or to fight the feeling of being overwhelmed. It often involves pausing for a few moments to become aware of your surroundings and what you’re doing. This doesn’t come naturally to most of us, of course, especially when it’s so easy to get lost in what you’re doing. Focus tries to gently nudge you into that mindful state at regular intervals, and it does so using pleasing smells and sights.

Focus is a combination of an aroma diffuser and a mood lamp in the form reminiscent of a scented candle, an object that’s meant to touch those two senses. When in its “unlit” mode, it looks almost like a small wireless speaker, especially because of its black matte finish and cylindrical shape. When turned on, it uses another productivity exercise that’s designed to help you focus on the task at hand while also leaving plenty of room to take a break and become mindful.

The device follows the popular Pomodoro Technique that advocates setting aside a fixed chunk of uninterrupted time for focused work, followed by a brief period of rest before starting the next chunk. Focus has a built-in timer set to 15 minutes, and as it counts down, the light of the lamp softens and dims. Once the timer goes off, a puff of aroma is released, mimicking the last breath of a dying candle. These cues remind the person to take that Pomodoro break and appreciate the present moment.

The cadence of the Pomodoro Technique creates something almost similar to a breathing pattern, and it’s probably no coincidence that Focus indirectly makes you want to breathe in that aromatic scent as well. Even without the productivity angle, the aroma diffuser mood lamp makes for an attractive accessory on your desk or shelf, one that delights the senses to induce a feeling of peace and calm, especially after a very productive and busy day.

This speaker is a fragrance diffuser – doesn’t play melodies but dispenses aroma to relax your senses

What is an excellent amalgamation of auditory and olfactory experience – a scent diffuser in the shape of a speaker? Wish granted almost instantly! Presenting a device that mimics the shape of a horn speaker from the vault but doesn’t disperse melodies instead tinkles the senses with aroma.

Olfactive Stéréophonique – designed to bridge the distance between olfactory and auditory – is the brainchild of Brooklyn-based speaker brand, OJAS and perfumer Byredo, founder and creative director Ben Gorham.

Designer: Byredo

Arriving in the shape of an antique speaker with the idea to fill a room with a fragrance-like sound out of the harp; horn speaker-esque Olfactive Stéréophonique has a look that’ll stand out in the music room, if you have one to flaunt.

As described by the affluent designers from both sides of the collaboration; the fragrance diffuser distributes smells efficiently in uniformity, which is unlike the front or upward aroma blasting diffusers on the market. For inventiveness, the Olfactive Stéréophonique borrows theories from high-efficiency sound wave guides and puts them in application to the flow of scent-infused air. Ingenious isn’t it?

According to Ben Gorham of Byredo, the intention of creating this unique scent diffuser is to “redefine the way” we all perceive aromas and somehow intertwine it with other senses like hearing a sound. The device comes in a package of 10 capsules – creating the aroma of nostalgic incense “used in Hindu and Buddhist temples and the evocative smell of ancient wooden structures.”  The visual shape is based on the previous Ojas’ creations, hi-fi speakers in particular.

The new limited edition artisanal speaker-style scent diffuser comes in bold blue color and is priced around the $1,000 price point. The capsules should last around 50 days if used in cyclical modes of 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off.

In real life perspective, delivering smell in a controlled and effective manner can be done in more ways than subjecting it to a form factor for olfactive nuance and pricing it a bit out of reach for most.

This elegant aroma diffuser is designed to relieve your stress in every aspect

Essential oil diffusers have become a popular tool in creating a calming and peaceful space, especially for people who enjoy the effects that certain scents have on our bodies and minds. Ironically, many of these diffusers can themselves become a source of stress because they simply focus on one aspect of the experience. The simplest ones don’t require much in terms of use, but they often leave it to natural breezes and winds to carry the scent around the room, which doesn’t always work as you might hope. This often leads to overpowering scents that can irritate the nose and cause more stress than it relieves. In contrast, this sleek aroma diffuser simplifies things so that you can have a stress-free experience from the moment you use it to the time you have to clean it.

Right out of the box, the WEEK END Aroma Diffuser looks nothing like your typical home device, whether those powered by candles, electricity, or Mother Nature itself. The luster of the metallic base immediately catches one’s eyes, but its smooth and unadorned surface doesn’t distract, nor does it cause a spike in emotions. The ceramic plate on top that acts as a filter forms a subtle contrast with that metal base, ensuring that your eyes don’t jump around between the two. It’s a simple and almost uncomplicated design that almost makes the diffuser go unnoticed, which is exactly the goal of this gentle companion.

That simple design belies the battery-powered fan inside, which some might take as a point against it. What this fan does is leave nothing to chance and offers you an even aroma that won’t make the scent overpowering in a single spot. Simply pressing and holding the edge of the base for a second turns on the fan, creating a soft breeze that flows from the gap between the base and the porcelain filter. Another press will switch it to an intermittent mode, where it will turn itself on and off again every three minutes. The next press will turn off the diffuser, and a helpful LED indicator removes the stress of trying to guess whether it’s on or off.

That ceramic plate is an important part of that stress-free experience as well. Handcrafted by artisans from Hida, Japan, using traditional kilns, the porcelain acts as a beautiful base to hold your favorite scented oils. It’s easy to clean with just water as well, so you won’t have to stress about the maintenance of your diffuser either.

With a rechargeable battery that charges over USB-C, this aroma diffuser can last up to two weeks in intermittent mode before you need to plug it in again. That means you can put it anywhere you want or need it, rather than worrying about having to position it near a wall socket or changing batteries every so often. And it will look good wherever you place it, whether in the center of the room on a coffee table or off to the side on a shelf. Subtly beautiful and gentle, this aroma diffuser distills the experience down to its essentials to take away your stress and worry every step of the way.

This low-key metal cylinder can take care of all your aromatic needs

Most of us probably take our sense of smell for granted, but it’s actually one of the easiest ways to put our minds in a state of calm and relaxation. Given how our world is becoming increasingly stressful these days, it’s no surprise that a growing number of people are taking to incense and essential oils to give themselves a temporary respite. Not all aromas are created equal, of course, and some of them require different devices or diffusers to work. Oil diffusers, for example, won’t work with incense, and there are different types of incense that often need a different kind of incense holder. Rather than stressing over those small details, this seemingly simple incense burner covers all the bases in a rather smart way.

Designer: Contexte Design

Although essential oils have become the most recent fad, it’s hardly the only way to give your nose a treat. Some people and cultures are more particular about incense, both either in stick or conical forms. There might even be some who prefer directly burning sandalwood or sage leaves instead of using these manufactured products. Rather than worrying about needing a different burner for each of these, Trataka is able to handle all of them with elegance and grace despite its very simple design.

At first glance, it’s a bit difficult to tell what Trataka is. It looks like a metal can with a sunken, concave top and sides that are cut off at four places. In reality, however, it’s made of two separate pieces, each with two “pillars” of the four sides, and these parts have different roles to play, depending on the type of aromatic experience you’re in the mood for. A hole at the top, for example, can hold your incense stick in place and catch the falling ash on the curved surface. That surface, however, can also act as a platform for cone-type incense.

Things get a bit more interesting when you consider you can put different things on top as well. For example, you can place a sprig of sage on top and burn it to let the aromatic smoke fill the room. Or you can put a few drops of your favorite oil on top and place a candle inside to heat it up. In fact, that bottom half can be used on its own as a candle holder to provide a gentle flicker of light any time you want. And when it’s not in use, it stands as a simple yet beautiful piece of minimalist decor on a desk or shelf.

Trataka doesn’t use gimmicks or complicated mechanisms to be able to serve different purposes. In fact, it’s all too simple, and that is exactly what makes it striking. Whether you’re looking forward to chilling with your favorite aromas or simply want something nice to look at, this unassuming but charming metal cylinder definitely does the trick in the simplest way.

This beautiful smart lamp helps you relax by soothing your senses

Different people try to relax in different ways. Some just need to pop in a good video and lose themselves for hours in entertainment. Others, however, need something a little more sublime. Soothing music, pleasing aromas, or even hypnotic candle lights can help flick a switch in our brains to start winding down. Each one of us has a unique preference, but those preferences can change at a moment’s notice. Most relaxation products, however, address only one or at most two use cases, limiting what you actually achieve when it comes to bathing the senses in positive stimuli. That’s why this smart lamp concept breaks down those barriers to offer a multi-sensory experience that will delight and soothe the senses to help you enter into that state of calm.

Designer: Anil Ramesh (Analogy Design)

Some people shut their eyes tight when they want to block out the world, while others prefer being mesmerized by flickering lights. Some take to their favorite kind of music to chill, while others prefer the scents of essential oils. There are obviously different ways to help our bodies and mind settle down, and also different products targeting those different senses. If you ever wanted to combine all three or find yourself switching between them once in a while, you’re pretty much forced to buy all three kinds of products.

Idiya goes beyond those monosensory devices and combines all three experiences into a single, elegant solution. It’s a smart lamp that looks like a giant candle on the outside, which isn’t by accident. After all, appearances are for the eyes, so it’s critical that the product comes in a familiar and aesthetically pleasing package. The gently sloping middle surface, surrounded by an uneven wall, is designed in the semblance of the basic candle shape, while the lamp’s different and changing colors adapt to a person’s preferences and inclinations.

The device, however, is also a smart speaker that can emit sound in all 360 degrees. A mobile app will let you select your preferred soundscape or theme and even match it with the light of the candle. Last but definitely not least, There’s also an essential oil diffuser that completes the equation, creating a more powerful and entrancing experience that will definitely change the atmosphere inside your home or room.

Truth be told, Idiya is technically a mashup of three different devices, but it’s a combination that is executed in such a graceful manner that you’d be left wondering why it hasn’t been turned into an actual product just yet. Arguably, some prefer simpler, single-use products, but human desires can change so frequently that a single device that targets three of your five senses might be a more efficient and economical way to relax and find your center.
