Discover the many benefits of an essential oil diffuser in your home
Chances are, you’ve heard chatter in recent years about essential oil diffusers. In fact, we’re willing to bet that somewhere along the line, whether at the mall or cruising Amazon, you’ve come face to face with a contraption of sorts, emitting what appears to be a steady stream of something in the air, and you’ve wondered to yourself, ‘do I need one of those?’ We’re here to tell you, respectfully, that we think you do.
Essential oil diffusers, sometimes called ultrasonic diffusers or simply, diffusers, are units that combine the benefits of clean water and 100% pure essential oils to create a cool mist that disperses fine particles of essential oils into the air, to create both a pleasing aromatic experience and to offer a whole host of benefits for both your body and mind. Most diffusers are electric, meaning they plug into an electrical outlet in the home, though the technology on wireless, cord-free and rechargeable diffusers continue to grow each year. Though using a diffuser is simple, the hardest part for many people is choosing the unit they want to have in their home.
What sets an essential oil diffuser apart from another?
At their base functionality, most diffusers operate the same way. They have a disc in the bottom of the unit that vibrates at an ultrasonic speed to break up water and essential oils into the mist we mentioned earlier. This mist allows these ultra-fine particles to travel throughout your air, creating a scent experience you can personalize (more on that in a moment) and helping support your body and mind to feel all sorts of things; clear-headed, energized, relaxed, more serene at bedtime. It's magical, really.
But what really sets diffusers apart from one another are largely aesthetic differences. If you check out our full assortment of diffusers, you’ll see that they come in different colors, shapes, sizes and materials, all designed to appeal to you on a personal level. Selecting the diffuser you’ll want to use each day, the one that makes ‘you’ feel like ‘you’ when you see it in your space; that’s the right diffuser for you.
Enhance your space with diffuser oils: Nomad Era
Now of course, in order to get the most out of your essential oil diffuser, you’ll need to pair it with any number of carefully crafted diffuser oils, made from 100% pure ingredients that are free of fillers or adulterants of any kind. Here at Saje, diffuser blends are kind of our thing. Throughout the year, we offer somewhere in the ballpark of 30 different blends to choose from, tailored by aroma (think: sweet citruses, fresh florals, clarifying tree scents) and by benefit (to support an energized workday, to help you unwind from that workday, to set the tone for deep rest and bedtime).
This season, we’ve created a series of curated trios, designed to transport you sensorially through the power of scent. The first of these trios is called Nomad Era, and features three of our most grounding yet invigorating blends, to help shift your space to an earthy, woodland wonderland.
Mountain High is a rejuvenating blend, formulated to inspire the spirit of vastness on a mountain top. It’s made with fresh, balsamic and woody spearmint, balsam fir and pine.
Rain Forest was designed to emulate a rejuvenating walk in the forest. Essential oils of cedarwood, eucalyptus and vetiver are renewing, refreshing and restorative to promote the powerful wellness properties of nature.
Goodnight is a bedtime blend, formulated with rich, earthy and grounding essential oils, for those who are drawn to aromas that are nurturing, enveloping and supportive. To help the mind and body feel at ease, we’ve blended notes of frankincense, sandalwood and roman chamomile.
Enhance your space with diffuser oils: Cloud Nines
The next curated trio we’ve called Cloud Nines, intended to revitalize and enliven, and to invite renewal into any space.
After the Rain is a stimulating yet grounding and earthy blend that was formulated to mimic the freshness you feel after a cooling and refreshing rain shower. It contains rejuvenating, cooling and relieving essential oils of lemongrass, spearmint and balsam fir to encourage joy and bliss.
Deep Breath was inspired by the feeling of taking the deepest breath you’ve had all day. Clearing and clarifying, it’s been blended with fortifying and expansive essential oils of marjoram, eucalyptus and peppermint to leave you feeling restored.
Refresh is one of our most well-known formulations for offering a boost of vitality and a crisp, clean pick-me-up to any space. We chose cleansing and deodorizing essential oils of spearmint, lemon and cedarwood to encourage feeling bright, uplifted and invigorated.
Enhance your space with diffuser oils: Golden Hours
Nothing feels quite like the warmth of the sun when it hits just right. We curated the Golden Hours trio with feelings of warmth and comfort in mind.
Liquid Sunshine is our best-selling diffuser blend aroma of all time, formulated with the brightest, juiciest citruses like grapefruit, bergamot and lime to help you feel lively and uplifted, all day long.
Elevate was formulated to help create feelings of cheerfulness, happiness and optimism in your space, and to help provide a natural lift in your mood. Oils of lemongrass, mandarin and yuzu encourage a state of positivity.
Energy is a well-loved favorite blend for the daytime, when you’re looking to feel revitalized and truly rejuvenated. A sharp, crisp and stimulating blend, it contains notes of lemon, peppermint and basil for a space that feels recharged and renewed.
Enhance your space with diffuser oils: Autumn Air
The final of our curated trios is called Autumn Air and was inspired by the turning of the seasons. As the days get shorter, the nights get longer and the air takes on a certain chill, these blends can help you find your inner peace and coziest comfort.
Heart & Home is the newest diffuser blend in our limited-edition collection, a sweet, woody and floral blend that evokes feelings of time spent indoors, basking in comfort and relaxation. It’s blended with virginiana cedar, balsam peru and Tomar seed oil, for spicy warmth.
Fireside Chai is a fan-favorite blend that was formulated to help you re-create the aromatic experience in your home of a warm, soothing and restorative cup of Chai tea. Notes of star anise, cardamom and cinnamon envelop your senses in sweet, rich and peppery aromas.
Forest Inhale was inspired by the freshness of the forest, and the nuanced, complex notes that comprise nature. We blended it with Siberian fir, myrrh and an unexpected twist of citrus from may chang for the feeling of crisp, cool air, bottled to enjoy year-round.
Find your perfect essential oil diffuser
Now that we’ve tantalized your senses with a smattering of our most well-loved, well-known and best-selling diffuser blend aromas, it’s time to help you select a diffuser. Here we’re sharing two of our community-favorite and award-winning designs, to make your choice that much easier.
For aesthetic appeal: our Aroma Om ultrasonic diffuser is far and away our #1 selling unit, universally loved by all. It has a chic and timeless design, truly a classic appeal that turns a sculptural piece of art into a functional diffuser to add your favorite aroma to the air. You can take this diffuser home in a white ceramic or a slate grey cement stone.
When size matters: our largest and longest running diffuser is called the Aroma Om deluxe. This diffuser is also offered in white ceramic or a slate grey cement stone, and boasts an impressive run time of 11-22 hours when used on a high or low setting, including 3 different timers for programmable use.
What can an essential oil diffuser do for you?
Now that we’ve shared with you some of the scrumptious aromas available to you as part of our diffuser blends, we want to offer just a few of the benefits of having an essential oil diffuser in your home or in your space.
- Choose the way you want your home to smell. Are you a person who gets revved up in the morning with the smell of freshly squeezed juice? Do you feel immediately transported to the closest local forest when you breathe in the aroma of anything tree-scented? Diffusing allows you to tailor aromas according to your personal preferences, which makes for the perfect scent, every time.
- Choose the way you want your home to feel. Ambience is everything, these days. Creating an environment that supports how you want to feel is just one of the ways you can create a big impact on your day. You can choose diffuser blends that are formulated with bright, uplifting essential oils to create a feeling of invigoration and rejuvenation, or conversely you can choose diffuser blends that create feelings of rest and relaxation, blended with essential oils that are peaceful and tranquil. This type of personalization sets the tone for exactly how you want to feel in your space.
Happy diffusing!
