What's the difference?
The flame diffuser gives a real flame look. Its Himalayan salt chamber glows like a fire, and it comes with salt chunks, a night light and a 1, 3 or 6 hour timer. It is USB-C powered and holds 220 ml of water.
The jellyfish diffuser puffs cool mist through five outlets, so it looks like a jellyfish floating. It holds 250 ml, has a colour-changing LED light and comes with a remote control. The volcano diffuser is a plug-in model that holds 360 ml. It has a colour-changing mood light and makes no flame or smoke.
How do the flame, jellyfish and volcano diffusers compare?
The volcano diffuser is the easiest pick for a quiet, plug-in scent. The flame diffuser suits anyone who wants a warm glow and a timer, and the jellyfish diffuser is the playful choice with a remote. We hand-picked all three for scent and home lovers.

An everyday treat that brings a warm glow to any room, with no real flame needed.

It's USB-C powered with a cord of at least 80 cm, and it stands 12 cm tall, so it fits neatly on a desk or shelf. The plastic body is light and simple to move from room to room. For the best results, use essential oils mixed in water only. It's a lovely pick for a housewarming, or for anyone who likes a glow in the corner of their home.
