How we test
Every diffuser we review runs in a real home for at least 2 weeks: kitchens that smell of last night's dinner, hallways with draughts, bedrooms that need to stay subtle.
We measure what brands will not: running cost per hour of scent, how far a claimed coverage figure stretches in practice, and what refills cost over a year.
Where a product comes from a brand we have a commercial relationship with, we say so plainly. Read our disclosure and testing process.
