Pura's New Smart Home Diffuser Could Change How You Scent Your Home – And It's Only $49.99
This clever diffuser adjusts intensity, switches scents, and sets schedules
Filling your home with fragrance is an easy way to create an inviting atmosphere, but keeping every room smelling just right can take a little effort and curation. So, what if your home fragrance could work smarter? With the new Pura Home Fragrance Diffuser, it can.
Featuring clean, long-lasting scents, smart controls, and adaptive diffusion that adjusts to the temperature in your home, it’s designed to fragrance rooms more intuitively than other diffuser devices. Simply choose your scent, set a schedule in the app or use the controls on the diffuser, and let it do the rest.
In fact, the Pura Home Fragrance Diffuser is one of the smartest and most convenient ways I've seen to make your home smell nice. With fall just around the corner, it's the perfect addition to nights spent unwinding on the couch or socializing around the candle-lit dinner table until late into the night.
I've often reached for the best essential oil diffusers as a flame-free way to scent my home. However, refilling the water tank, carefully dripping essential oils into the vessel, and remembering to clean it regularly can add up to quite a bit of maintenance, not to mention the risk of spills. With the Pura Home Fragrance Diffuser, you can enjoy all the easy features, with none of the risks or fussing.
Simply snap in up to two fragrance vials (sold separately − Ambered Topaz would be my pick for fall and winter), plug the diffuser into a wall outlet, and either control your diffuser using the physical buttons on the device, or navigate to the app on your phone. From there, you can also switch between fragrances whenever suits you, adjust the intensity, and set timers and schedules to suit you.
When you want to change the scents out completely (which I would do seasonally), the app automatically detects each fragrance for quick, seamless swaps. Each vial will last around three weeks in a medium-sized space, based on diffusing scent for six to eight hours per day at a medium intensity.
Easily switch between fragrances on the Pura app.
Impressively, the PuraHome Fragrance Diffuser showcases a glowing five-star rating across a staggering 51,770 Reviews.

'The thing I didn’t know I needed!,' enthuses verified shopper Erin. 'This is so easy and convenient; set schedules and intensities easily from the app.'
Another, Ashley, praises the easy, low-maintenance nature of this pick. 'I love that I can set it and forget it,' they say. 'Make the intensity of the fragrance as strong or as little as I want. The app is user-friendly, and the subscription for the scents makes my life that much easier,' as you can make sure you always have your favorites in stock and on hand.
The Pura Home also simplifies the ritual of evening scenting throughout fall, so much so that some shoppers have found a welcome home for more than one model from the Pura line-up in their space.
'Life changing!' commends William. 'We started with the single diffuser and enjoyed how it brought the room to life so much that we decided to upgrade to the Pura 4. Now we can have different scents for different times of the day, coming downstairs in the morning to one and returning from work in the evening to another.
'Best part is we moved the single Pura into the bedroom, and now we have a third, calming scent to help relax and unwind while going to bed.'
And, unlike others I've seen, with a sleek and subtle design, this plug-in won't disrupt your home decor. It's a simple switch to elevate your home scenting − and at just $49.99, it's a reasonably priced option to consider once gifting season arrives.

This large essential oil diffuser features a chic, ceramic cover that looks worlds away from many of the classic, more affordable plastic options. It can conveniently be controlled with the remote and offers a warm, relaxing glow.
