As is well known, the scent of bergamot, grapefruit and mint have mood-boosting properties in their chemical composition, and inhaling such fragrances releases happy hormones such as serotonin. Below is a carefully researched list of positive energy reed diffusers that use only the highest-grade essential and fragrance oils, with specific ‘spring in your step’ benefits. Having these dotted around may very well give you that gentle nudge, to help see things in a more positive light and face the world with confidence.

Aery Positive Energy Reed diffuser
Brand: Aery
Price: £35
Size: 200mL
Scent: Grapefruit, Mint, Vetiver
This excellent creation from Aery is like a big gush of happiness in a bottle! With the uplifting and fruity fragrance of grapefruit intertwined with the freshness and invigorating effects of mint, it does really live up to its name. If this sounds a bit too fruity and sweet though, fear not! Aery have cleverly balanced this extroverted freshness with the outdoorsy, earthy fragrance of Vetiver and the warmth of Amber, to give it a little soothing edge.
As a brand, Aery are reputed for their cruelty free, paraffin free, plastic free products and I quite like their fading colour designs on their bottles. This particular one reminds me of the colours of sunrise.
Just be informed, when immersed in this confidence boosting aroma, you may very well find yourself smiling for no particular reason!

I had this long lasting, joyful experience in my bedroom over the new year and it really helped me be in the moment and practice a sense of gratitude.
You may find it also adds a touch of luxury and elegance to any space. A thoughtful gift or a very welcome addition to your home.

Floral street sunflower pop
Brand: Floral street
Price: £42
Size: 100ml
Scent: Bellini accord, orange and bergamot
Oil type: Luxury perfume oil
Beware this is fruity! But if you can’t get enough of fruity, cheerful, sparkling vibes, Sunflower Pop by Floral Street (I’m a sucker for Floral Street), will have you smiling. And even though it’s called ‘sunflower pop’, rest assured it does not smell of sunflower. I believe sunflower itself doesn’t smell of much. But isn’t it pretty? Floral street has collaborated with the Van Gough museum and chosen Van Gough’s famous ‘Sunflowers’ masterpiece as the inspiration behind the artwork, to acknowledge his symbolism of gratitude and optimism.
Not only does this fragrance add ribbons of positivity to your ambience but the bottle itself oozes chirpiness and lovely to adorn your home with. It is very long lasting and every room in my home has been treated to its splendour. But I like it in the kitchen the best. When I come down in the mornings, it greets me with a friendly fruity freshness!
