Tom Dixon Element Scent Diffuser - Water
Brand: Tom Dixon
Price: £130
Size: 0.2L
Scent: Mineral water, Watermelon, Cedarwood and Musk.
If you fancy a solid piece of luxury décor, The ‘Water’ reed diffuser by British Designer Tom Dixon, may just be worth your every penny…and then some. Standing out from the crowd, it features just one fat, charcoal reed. I say!
The first time this fragrance hit me, my senses were catapulted to the fantasy of bathing in the crystal clear waters of a gushing waterfall, close to paradise.
Scent notes of clean aldehyde and watermelon give it a distinct simplicity and freshness, whilst the cedarwood and musk evoke the outdoors and an almost magical feel. As you can see, it is a statement piece of contemporary art and instantly radiates a touch of opulence to any space.
Whether you choose to position it in your bathroom, where it provides a constant and decadent sense of freshness, or in your conservatory with a view of lush greenery, it effortlessly crafts a tranquil ambience that invites indulgence and relaxation.

Aluxury Odyssey reed diffuser
Brand: Aluxury
Price: From £19.99
Size: 100/200mL
Scent: Oud, Jasmine, Cedarwood
What if you’re indeed after a lovely luxury reed diffuser but also like the idea of keeping some of those hard-earned pounds back for other delightful ventures?
This high quality reed diffuser has been an absolute winner amongst its customers at the affordable, kind hearted price tag of £26.99. Keeping with the brand’s commitment to elevating your mood and using only premium essential oils that have a positive impact on your well-being, the synergy of Woody aromas with jasmine and exotic Oud sends you into a relaxed, calm state after a busy day.
Odyssey by Aluxury, is a British luxury fragrance brand with a unique origin story — it was born out of the founder’s newfound appreciation for scents after suffering from anosmia (loss of smell). Incredible!
For me, this blend is almost meditative. And as a bonus, if you appreciate the elegant simplicity of white and gold, Odyssey’s graceful design may be just what your space needs.

Acqua di Parma Buongiorno
Brand: Acqua di Parma
Price: From £62.80
Scent: Citrus, Rosemary, Cedarwood
This bold, long lasting offering from Acqua di Parma, I would say is the full package! If you need a boost to start your day, having this infuse your space is akin to waking up to a glorious sunrise, evoking the energy of a new day.
I deem this one of my favourites, as not only is the fragrance utterly gorgeous but the sheer high-end Italian elegance gracing my surroundings, makes my space feel special and inviting. With the refreshing top notes of citrus, heart notes of Lavandin (a hybrid of lavender species) and rosemary, and base notes of Cedarwood and musk, it emits a sophisticated, grounded finish.
And what’s more, it just so happens to win house guests over, time and time again. A real indulgence to the senses.

Diptyque Tubereuse
Brand: Diptyque
Price: £152
Size: 200mL
Scent: Tuberose flower
If you’re on the hunt for luxury synonymous with a deep floral ambience, then the uber-luxury brand Diptyque’s Tubereuse may be your perfect match. The enticingly fragrant flower tuberose emits milky undertones whilst also brushing gently with slightly fruitier elements.
I found this fragrance to be a real pleasure to the senses. Contrary to the assumption that all of Diptyque’s stylish products are equally esteemed, hardcore fans reveal a clear hierarchy among them. Tubereuse, with its outstanding longevity and high quality perfumery, consistently earns a high position in this ranking.
Allow your entire space to be filled with its floral energy, well into the day and night.

Floral Street Midnight Tulip
Brand: Floral Street
Price: From £33.60
Size: 100mL
Scent: Cassis, Incense, Patchouli
If you’re a bit of a night owl and thrive in the captivating charm of twilight, Floral Street’s Midnight Tulip, an edgy London brand founded by women, epitomises the very essence of night time’s mystery. But of course, feel free to experience the magic in the day too. Just be sure to keep the curtains closed!
The first time I was immersed in the sheer enchantment of this fragrance, I immediately detected its sensuality and richness. The main ingredients are cassis – (blackcurrant), aromatic incense, and the earthy, grounding Patchouli.
As I personally identify as female, in my opinion, even with the woody undertones of Patchouli typically associated with masculine fragrances, Midnight Tulip effortlessly blends it with the gorgeous fruity notes of Cassis, resulting in a celebration of the boldness of femininity.

Imogen’s Luxuries Revive
Brand: Imogen’s Luxuries
Price: £25
Size: 100ml
Scent: Grapefruit, Lemongrass and Basil
This best-selling signature fragrance from Imogen’s Luxuries, an aromatherapy powerhouse brand from Hertfordshire, uses therapeutic grade lemongrass, grapefruit and basil essential oils. The resultant symphony of crisp, zesty notes leaves you feeling revived as the name very aptly suggests.
As you can see, the overall aura of this brand oozes luxury, not only in its alcohol-free highest quality healing ingredients but with the bold black and gold exterior. Another wonderfully opulent product that rivals hefty-priced global brands.
I enjoy this zesty, yet aromatic fragrance in the kitchen for its fresh gourmand aromas but it would be equally beneficial to wake up to, giving you a friendly nudge to start your day with vigour.

Jo Malone Lavender and Moonflower Diffuser
Brand: Jo Malone
Price: From £74

If I may be so bold as to suggest that deep down, there’s a part of you that still loves the nostalgia and sensualness of lavender and musk, perhaps? Well, luxury brand Jo Malone aren’t about to abandon the soothing familiarity of this alluring combination. They’ve beautifully modernized it with the delicate intertwining of Moonflower – a scent similar to Jasmine or magnolia with moonlit Camomile and voila!
I love the bold impact it creates with its tranquil and refined ambience. Luxury at its finest.
