13 Best Reed Diffusers 2022 for the Best

We love a scented candle as much as anyone else, but you know what we're not so fond of? The risk of an open flame in our space. According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are approximately 20 candle-related home fires every single day in the United States alone. So, if the concept of a potential fire hazard deters you from using a candle, the best reed diffusers will still freshen your space with long-lasting fragrances without any heat required.

In case you're not familiar, these gorgeous diffusers are much more than your usual home decor. Usually, they consist of a glass bottle that's filled with a fragrance oil blend (commonly essential oil-based) that disperses into the air through its accompanying reed sticks. In a sense, they're kind of like cordless, heatless versions of your average essential oil diffuser. And like your favorite scent diffusers, there are practically endless aromatic concoctions to choose from — but, our editors may have found the top picks on the market.

Whether you're on the hunt for spa-worthy, Allure Best of Beauty-winning favorites for your bathroom or warm, Amalfi Coast-inspired blends that are staples in our staffers' home offices, these fragrant reed diffusers will surely become your favorite air fresheners ever. Below, take a peek — and maybe a whiff, too — of the very best, high-quality reed diffusers for a subtle boost of aromatherapy in your home.

If you're searching for a tried-and-true, Allure-approved fragrance reed diffuser, look no further than Nest New York's Wild Mint & Eucalyptus Reed Diffuser. This 2022 Allure Best of Beauty winner's glass vessel is gorgeous, but it won our highest accolade for its invigorating yet subtle notes of mint, eucalyptus, basil, and ginger. It's a perfect addition to add to your bathroom for a spa-like aroma, and Allure’s deputy digital director, Kara McGrath, can't get enough of it. "The scent is strong enough to fill a room, but not so overpowering that I get a headache — and they last about half a year before you have to refill them," she says.

Allure's editorial assistant Talia Gutierrez says the ultra-luxe Acqua Di Parma Home Insieme Diffuser has become a staple in her living room. This warm, fruity scent comes with rattan reeds that fill the air with notes of neroli, lemon, amber, and musk. As if this home fragrance wasn't impressive enough, it has a lifespan of 10 to 12 weeks.

Luxury enthusiasts need to jump on the MCM Reed Diffuser bandwagon, stat. Kassidy Silva, Allure's associate social media director and reed diffuser aficionado, says it's one of the best diffuser blends on the market for its hints of amber, raspberry, woods, and jasmine.
