What are the best Christmas diffuser oils, and the best luxury home fragrance gift in Australia this year? A waterless (cold-air) diffuser with a festive fragrance oil. Ascent Collection’s four Christmas oils give you warm, spiced Gingerbread House and Warm Christmas for evenings, and fresher The Lapland and Winter Apple for hot December days. Each 50 mL bottle is hand-poured in Australia and typically lasts about 30 days at six to eight hours a day. Paired with a Scent Aura, which scents a room of up to 300 m³ with no water or heat, it makes a luxury home fragrance gift that keeps going long after Christmas Day.
Which Christmas scent suits your home?
An Australian Christmas is often hot at lunch and cooler by evening, so it helps to have a warm scent and a fresh one on hand.
Gingerbread House
This one smells like Christmas baking. Cinnamon and nutmeg open it and ginger and clove sit in the middle. Caramel and vanilla round it off. Save Gingerbread House for evenings and cooler days.
Warm Christmas
Bring the tree indoors. Fir and pine come first. Clove and cedar follow, with vanilla and sandalwood underneath. Warm Christmas suits a lounge room where the family gathers.
The Lapland
Our freshest Christmas blend. Peppermint, pine and birch leaf sit over orange, mandarin and bergamot. Rose and jasmine soften the middle, and juniper and cassis keep the finish crisp. On a hot day, The Lapland is the one we reach for.
Winter Apple
Bright citrus and crisp apple, with vanilla and cinnamon underneath. Winter Apple is festive without being heavy, so it works in a kitchen or an open-plan living area.
If you like a classic pine scent, Christmas Spruce (bergamot, clove and pine) is also in the range, in a 120 mL bottle. You can browse every scent in our diffuser oils collection.
A luxury home fragrance gift for Christmas
What is the best luxury home fragrance gift in Australia for Christmas? A waterless diffuser with a festive fragrance oil. Ascent Collection’s Scent Aura ($249) is a cold-air diffuser that fills a room of up to 300 m³ with a fine, dry mist of pure fragrance oil, with no water, heat or flame, and it runs on its battery or from the wall. Add a 50 mL Christmas oil ($65.99) and the gift arrives ready to use, with free shipping on Australian orders over $250.

How to scent your home for Christmas
Put the diffuser in the room where everyone gathers, up off the floor and near natural airflow. Start on a low setting with long pauses between sprays. A festive scent should greet guests at the door without filling every corner.
Hosting on Christmas Day? Set a schedule in the app over Bluetooth before the day, and the Scent Aura starts on its own an hour before guests arrive. On a hot afternoon, swap to The Lapland or Winter Apple and keep the warmer blends for the evening.
