A Better Way to Scent a Room Than a Plug-In Air Freshener
Plug-in air fresheners are easy, but many smell synthetic and fade before the refill runs out. The Scent Plug is a plug-in diffuser for the same wall socket. It uses waterless cold-air diffusion to release pure fragrance oil as a fine, dry mist, with no heat, and you control it from your phone.

Why switch
Real fragrance, on your schedule.
Many plug-in air fresheners work by gently heating a scented liquid or gel. The Scent Plug skips the heat: pressurised air turns pure fragrance oil into a fine, dry mist, so the scent stays true to the fragrance and doesn’t leave residue. Our waterless diffuser guide explains how cold-air diffusion works.
You also choose from the full Ascent Collection range of fragrance oils, hand poured in Australia, rather than whatever refills one brand sells.
01
No heat
Cold-air diffusion releases the oil without warming it, and there’s no water tank to refill or go stale.
02
Set it and forget it
Set the intensity, timers and up to five scent schedules a day in the app, so a room smells good when you want it to.
03
Any fragrance you like
Use any oil from the Ascent Collection range, from fresh hotel-inspired blends to soft florals and warm woods.

Plug-in diffuser FAQs
What people ask before swapping their air freshener.
Is a plug-in diffuser better than a plug-in air freshener?
They work differently. Many plug-in air fresheners gently heat a scented liquid or gel. A cold-air plug-in diffuser like the Scent Plug releases pure fragrance oil as a fine, dry mist with no heat, and you control the intensity and schedule from an app.
How long does a bottle of oil last?
A 20 mL bottle lasts around one month with daily use. It depends on the intensity and how long the diffuser runs each day.
Which rooms does the Scent Plug suit?
It's sized for small rooms such as bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways and home offices. For open-plan living areas, the Scent Aura is a better fit.
Does it use water or heat?
No. It uses waterless cold-air diffusion, so there's no water tank and no heat.
Can I schedule when it runs?
Yes. The app lets you set the intensity, timers and up to five scent periods a day.
Is it safe around children and pets?
Ascent Collection diffusers and oils are safe for homes with children and pets when used with normal household ventilation. Keep diffusers and oils out of reach, and introduce scent gradually around pets.
What oils can I use in it?
Use oils made for cold-air diffusion. Ascent Collection fragrance oils are pure and undiluted, IFRA-compliant and hand poured in Australia.
How big is the Scent Plug?
It measures 80 × 40 × 125 mm and plugs straight into a standard Australian wall socket.
