A recommendation service that carefully researches each product and consults with experts across many disciplines. We are constantly creating new content to provide the best shopping experience from choosing ‘cosmetics’ to ‘food and drink’, ‘home appliances’ to ‘kids and baby’ products, reaching users all across the United Kingdom.
Products or services listed have been independently ranked by the mybest Editorial Team based on the points mentioned in our thoroughly researched buying guide as of 16-01-2023.
To begin, you’ll have to decide on the variety of freshener, be it one you can plug in and forget about, something you only use occasionally, or a design that sits prettily in your living space. Have a read of the options and think about which would be the most useful for you.
Their subtlety may not suit larger rooms and they are the least long lasting of our options, but their main appeal lies in the fact they are usually the most natural. If you’re not keen on synthetic or overpowering perfumes, look for a reed diffuser with essential oils that will scent your space whilst helping you to feel relaxed or rejuvenated depending on the blend used.
There is also the possibility of making your own essential oil blends for your diffuser, if you’re keen on aromatherapy and would like to prolong the life of your reed freshener for a minimal expense.
They can provide a continuous scent when switched on, or you can always just plug them in for an hour when you want to freshen up the room or set the mood for guests coming over. You can also change the scent whenever you like by purchasing a different cartridge to suit your mood or the season.
They’d be ideal for offices, children’s rooms, or smaller spaces, but if you’d like the ability to adjust the intensity based on where you place it, look for those that have various settings for how often they produce scent bursts and to what strength.
Either way, this variety can be used in any space that needs a boost, and can often be used on fabrics with a tendency to absorb odours from pets or suchlike including curtains, car seats and sofas.
This technology will be included in chemical rather than natural varieties, so check the description on the product you like to see if it can offer this useful extra feature.
For example, if you want a cosy, welcoming vibe for your living room you could choose warming scents such as cinnamon or vanilla, and if you want a clean, fresh scent for the bathroom you could choose crisp linen or citrus. Bedrooms are associated with relaxation, so you could try lavender scents to help you unwind, or bright florals to boost your mood in the morning.
Some plug-ins however, mostly the cheaper varieties, will only be single use. Therefore, it’s worth checking if there are refills available, and perhaps spending a little more for those that offer this, unless you’re happy to replace the entire unit every month or so or only require it for an event or similar.
Have a look at how many days the product provides fragrance, and select according to how often you think you’ll use it. Of course, it is probably more desirable for fresheners to last as long as possible, particularly constant-use varieties.
