An honest review of the new Aromatherapy Associates Atomizer

I absolutely adore candles – from the scent they fill the room with and the beautiful jars they create, to the way lighting one marks the start of your evening and letting you relax – so it may seem out of place to declare that over the past few weeks I’ve been completely ignoring my vast candle collection in favour of a new diffuser, but that’s exactly what’s happened: Enter The Atomiser (£120) by Aromatherapy Associates.

To be honest, I have no idea why diffusers are so noisy. With reed diffusers, I always forget to flip the reeds to intensify the scent periodically, and the oil evaporates faster than I’d like, leaving me with an empty stick bottle sitting on my fireplace for months. I’ve always loved electric diffusers, but fiddling with plugs and water tanks has never really appealed to me. But Aromatherapy Associates’ products are different. They require no water or heat, are completely portable once charged, and are the pinnacle of beauty tech, and smell amazing.

So how do you use it? Simply choose an Aromatherapy Associates essential oil blend to suit your mood (I love Forest Therapy when I’m at work and my go-to Deep Relax at the end of a long day), attach it to the diffusion head inside the atomizer, and switch it on. What I love most about this product is that the scent fills the room instantly. Trust me, you don’t have to wait for it to warm up or for the scent to disperse. The benefits of the essential oils are immediate. Once you turn it on, you can set a timer for 30 minutes to 3 hours, turn on the halo light setting to add a soft glow to your room, or choose a boost mood for a quick scent when you’re pressed for time. And of course, once fully charged, you can carry it around your home without any unsightly cords.

I don’t know if I’ve been feeling particularly stressed lately, but I’ve found it really comforting and calming to have my aromatherapy blends available at the click of a button. It’s become a ritual for me to turn on my atomizer when I start to feel tired. In fact, it’s become my go-to for all sorts of situations: an energizing blend to help me wake up in the morning, a blend to relieve stress when I’m working under a deadline, and a breeze blend that worked wonders for my whole family last week when they had colds. I usually use candles at night, but with the atomizer, I can now experiment with home fragrances at any time of the day. And I love it.

What prompted Aromatherapy Associates to launch a revolutionary new home fragrance system? now?
“Our new home collection blends our expertise in pure and natural wellness with our understanding of how consumers are looking for new ways to incorporate wellness into their lives,” explains Anna Teal, CEO of Aromatherapy Associates. “Using powerful essential oils, our home collection allows powerful blends to be layered and combined to create a truly 360-degree, multi-sensory experience – one that creates that vital moment of reset we all crave.”
And lockdown has undoubtedly had an impact. In fact, a Euromonitor report found that 64% of experts believe working from home will be a long-term change for them, and 70% expect an increased focus on lifestyle after lockdown. At Aromatherapy Associates, we believe this more home-centered life will need to be redefined for all consumers, and scent will play a key role in that. Trust us, with innovations like atomizers, I’m happy to join you on that journey.
