What is the best luxury home fragrance gift in Australia? A gift that keeps scenting the home long after the wrapping comes off. A waterless diffuser fills a room with fragrance every day without a flame, and the recipient refills it with the scents they love. For a living room, our pick is Ascent Collection’s Scent Aura ($249), a cold-air diffuser that covers up to 300 m³. For the car, the Scent Mini 2 ($109.99). If you’re not sure of their taste, start with the Hotel Collection Favourites sample pack ($79.99): four hotel-inspired fragrance oils to try.
What is a good luxury home fragrance gift for her?
If she loves her home and entertains, give her the Scent Aura diffuser ($249): it sits on a side table and fills an open-plan room with a hotel-style scent on schedules she sets in the app. If she drives a lot, the Scent Mini 2 car diffuser ($109.99) runs up to 60 hours per charge and switches on and off with the car. For a new home or guest room, the Scent Plug ($119.99) is a luxury gift that plugs into the wall.

Why a diffuser makes a better gift than a candle
A candle burns for an evening and then it’s gone. A waterless diffuser runs on a schedule, needs no flame, and gets refilled with the scents the recipient chooses, so the gift keeps going well into next year. New to waterless diffusers? Our waterless diffuser guide explains how they work.

Is a diffuser a good gift for a home with pets or children?
Ascent Collection’s cold-air diffusers are safe for use around children and pets: use them in a ventilated room, keep an eye on pets, and check with your vet if you’re unsure.
Does a waterless diffuser need water or heat?
