Recently, I reached out to members of the HuffPost newsroom with the intent of finding out the items on everyone’s Amazon Prime Day wish lists. It was then that I first heard about the Pura smart scent diffuser, a sleek little home addition that was coveted by more than one person.
The first thing that may come to mind when you hear the words “scent diffuser” are those headache-inducing plug-ins that overwhelm rooms and seem a bit antiquated in design. I was quickly assured, however, that the Pura is an elevated alternative that keeps spaces consistently smelling luxurious, while also being completely customizable and innovatively operated.
Senior culture editor Erin Evans is a proud Pura owner of about a year and she said she’s gotten so many compliments about how good her apartment smells.
“There are two fragrance cartridges in [the diffuser] so you can alternate which scents you use for any schedule you choose [and] the app to do so is really intuitive,” Evans said. “I just love knowing that when I sit at my desk, there’s an inviting scent floating through the air.”
In addition to letting you set custom operating schedules, switch between fragrances and turn the Pura on or off, the user-friendly app allows you to adjust the fragrance intensity from the individual scent vials, even if you’re far from home. This can be especially beneficial for those who are hyper-sensitive to smells or for when you have guests coming at a moment’s notice.
Evans also said this diffuser can be a good option for anyone that fears lighting candles or has the dangerous tendency to accidentally leave them burning.
According to the brand, the device uses an adaptive diffusion technology, which keeps the scent dispersement consistent and self-adjusting based on factors like room temperature. And when a scent vial runs out, the Pura automatically detects that, notifies you and seamlessly swaps to the other scent vial in the diffuser. How long a vial lasts depends on your desired strength setting, Evans said. However, hers generally go for about four to five weeks.
Compatible with all standard outlets, the Pura also has an LED light on the face for an added touch of ambiance.
In terms of fragrance, the choices are virtually limitless with options fit for every room of the house and every season of the year. Reviewers call the scents high-quality, expensive-feeling and very different from the chemical-like plug-ins you might be most familiar with.
You can also find Sugared Lemon plus fresh linen, warm cinnamon and pumpkin fragrances perfect for fall, and much more. And when you purchase the Pura starter kit, it comes with two scent vials of your choosing.

Promising Amazon reviews:
“I didn’t really want to like this set up. It’s expensive. I’m very sensitive to fragrances. But on a whim I bought the Yuzu Citron and Lavender Fields combo for my office as a hopeful pick me up/de-stresser combo and I’m in LOVE. I set it up no problem with my phone. I love that I can schedule it to have the Yuzu going just before I arrive. I also love that I can switch to lavender to calm me down. Even my coworker who is equally picky about fragrances took a picture of the device to order one for herself. The quality of both fragrances feels expensive and not like chemical glade plug ins. I accidentally left it on for 42 hours and it is still full. I will look out for deals to keep buying refills. Pamper yourself!” — Nicole Marie
“I live out in rural America where there is no mobile service so many times in my life, having no service and never having my phone on at home does hinder my ability to be able to use most things deemed smart. Well, this something that doesn’t require you phone being on for access to using it, which is so freaking cool! I even used my tablet instead of my phone which works just like a phone would out here, so it is great. I simply downloaded the app and set of a customized schedule and with the two different scents that were inside of the box, I have had fun enjoying their unique and fun scent. I love that you can even customize the lights on top of it and it has a plug that can rotate making it easier to find various areas to use it comfortably in. And the app provides you ways to buy replacements or set up subscriptions for your favorite scents. I love this Smart device, it makes my living room where I work the most in, a treasure to be in!” — Amber Hughes
“This is my second Pura scent diffuser. I’m able to use the same app for both scent diffusers, and the app makes it easy to control both devices from the same app. I love that I can set a schedule for each scent in each device, and I can set the color and intensity of the light separately for each scent. I especially like that I can set each scent to be subtle, medium or strong. Since some scents are naturally more potent than others, this is helpful. For instance, I set the all the Homesick scents to mild; I set the Orange Blossom and Coconut Oasis medium. It’s helpful that the app tells me how many hours of use each scent will last, and if desired you can also set up scent orders or subscriptions from within the app.” — MamaBear007
