The Young Living Aria Ultrasonic Diffuser made its way into our radar due to its popularity and aesthetics. It’s made from natural materials, including a wood base and a glass dome, which we like for its minimal and natural design.

It’s no secret that Young Living is one of the most well-known brands for aromatherapy out there. It’s been around for 30 years and has expanded to other countries from its home in the USA.

It’s easy to assemble. You also won’t worry about overfilling this with water because the capacity line is clear to see.

The diffuser automatically stops when the water runs out, which is an excellent safety feature. The water capacity is 260ml, which we think is a lot since it’ll take a continuous 5 to 6 hours to use up.

The Aria Ultrasonic Diffuser is one of the best in Malaysia, in our opinion. Why? Well, because it boasts many features for everyone!

One of these features is the built-in sound for a relaxing environment. It even has built-in speakers if you prefer to play your own music.

Plus, there’s an auxiliary port at the back to plug in your device. But we hoped this would come with Bluetooth, so you won’t have to leave your phone next to the diffuser.

A simple but convenient feature is the remote control. You can control the timer, volume, and lights, which is great for when you’re in bed (or working in the office)!

The suggested essential oil drop for the Aria Ultrasonic Diffuser is 15 to 25 for a 430 sq ft room. But we found that you can go with just 8 to 13 if you don’t want the scent to be too strong.

A drawback we found is this is pretty expensive! It sometimes comes with a free essential oil from Young Living (depending on where you purchase), so I guess that’s a plus.

Also, we found this aroma diffuser to be fragile due to the glass dome. I suggest putting this in your office or where kids can’t go around playing to avoid accidents.

Pros

  • Has naturalistic design
  • Comes with a remote
  • Has multicolored LED lights
  • Includes built-in sounds
  • Can plug-in device for music

Cons

  • Pricier option
  • No Bluetooth for music
  • Glass dome is fragile

Has lots of features

“This diffuser is the QUEEN of diffusers! It has LED lights, preprogrammed music and the ability to be plugged into your iPod or iPhone for your own musical selections. It is like bringing the spa experience right into your home! This is a must have for sure. You won’t regret this purchase!” – OilSister, Amazon Reviews

Good value for money

“While this diffuser might be a little pricy let me assure you it’s worth every penny! It as a very nice and relaxing music too! Water can last up to 12 hours and it’s excellent for larger rooms. Also, it is a great conversation piece cause it looks amazing!” – Cari Rousseau, Amazon Reviews

What we like about the dōTERRA Petal Diffuser 2.0 are its simplicity and portability. We also like the way this looks because it’s minimalistic!

It is made out of moulded plastic, but it doesn’t feel cheap at all. We like that it’s also lightweight and easy to carry around, convenient when moving to a different room.

The assembly of this air diffuser is pretty straightforward. Filling it with water is also easy because the red dot shows the limit.

Moreover, this new dōTERRA Petal Diffuser won’t spill easily in case of accidents, unlike the previous model. Well, this is an upgraded version, after all.

We found that this new version comes with a locking mechanism. The previous one doesn’t lock, so we love this new feature.

Now, when turning this on, you need to press the mist button once for a 2-hour run time, twice for 6 hours, and thrice for 12 hours. That sounds simple enough, doesn’t it?

In addition, there are three green lights above the buttons to see which run time it’s currently on – that’s super convenient in our books!

Now, we think this can act as an aromatherapy-slash-nightlight for a kid’s room. It has a soft ambient light, perfect for sleeping.

However, you cannot change the light colours. It’s a minor downside for me because you can’t change it to match the ambience of the room (or your mood).

Although this doesn’t come with a lot of features, we like how straightforward this aroma diffuser is. Plus, it can make a room up to 330 sq ft smell nice despite the small size!

Pros

  • Portable design
  • Straightforward use
  • Good for a nightlight

Cons

  • Only one light color
  • Not a lot of features

Portable and practical

“A great product there is no heating up the water so it gets immediately into action. Practical and works extremely well. Its easy to move around from room to room. I am so happy with this product.” – Judy, Shop Naturally Reviews

Small but powerful

“This was one of my first diffusers and still one of my favourites, it is smaller than the other ones I have but I believe it still is more powerful than some bigger compacity units.” – Jenan, Shop Naturally Reviews

Muji, a Japanese brand that has slowly expanded itself internationally, sells diffusers. Of course, they do; Muji sells everything!

One of the best aroma diffusers in Malaysia on our list is the Muji Large Aroma Diffuser. True to the brand, it has a minimalist aesthetic, which we like (not gonna lie!).

For us, the best aspect of this diffuser is the large water capacity. You can put up to 350 ml of water here, which is a lot compared to other diffusers on the market.

However, we noticed that the Muji Large Aroma Diffuser doesn’t last as long as we expected. Plus, we ended up using more drops of essential oils than we wanted because the scent intensity didn’t last as long as the highest run time.

Additionally, the coverage capacity of this is smaller than we thought. You can use this for a room that’s 200 sq ft, which we think is small for the size and water capacity of this diffuser.

This Muji air diffuser also doesn’t have a locking mechanism, which can spill in case you accidentally hit it. Although, we don’t think this will be a problem because it’s not easy to knock over due to its large size.

On a good note, you can turn the outer cover 360 degrees. That gives you freedom with the mist’s direction.

Now, we really like Muji’s simplistic design. But we’re nitpicking this diffuser’s plastic material because it makes the interior noticeable when the light is on, and some of us think it feels cheap (minus points for aesthetics).

On the upside, we like the ambient lighting with two intensity settings. It’s good as a nightlight for sleeping because it’s not too bright.

But make sure you fall asleep fast if you want to use this at night. This Muji Aroma Diffuser has four timer settings but only lasts up to three hours of aromatherapy.

Pros

  • Minimalist aesthetic design
  • Large water capacity
  • Mist direction can be changed
  • Light is good for a nightlight

Cons

  • Scent intensity doesn’t last long
  • Short run time
  • Plastic material feels cheap

Minimalistic design

“Now that I’ve tried it I wouldn’t live without one. The slick minimalistic design and the quality materials are something to be expected from MUJI. I found myself using this fairly often and it work well so I have nothing negative to say really.” – Jonathan Arsenault, Amazon Reviews

Easy to use

“Love this diffuser!! Easy to operate and clean!” – Susan Weinraub, Amazon Reviews

A very handy and actually portable diffuser is the Plant Origins Aromatherapy Wooden Portable Diffuser. It’s sold by Signature Market, a company that promotes healthy lifestyles.

Because of its wooden exterior, this Plant Origins diffuser is easy on the eyes. I really like its look and overall design because it’s simple yet elegant.

Going back to portability, this only weighs 150 g. You can bring this with you in your car and have a relaxing and fragrant drive.

Plus, it fits in cup holders, too. We found the light options are pretty nice for night drives because they’re not too bright.

Additionally, this car diffuser comes with a USB connection. You can plug this into your laptop as well and make your work area more relaxing, or bring it to your vacation.

As for the scent, the intensity is pretty good for a small diffuser! But once the water reached a low level, I noticed that the scent faded fast.

Also, don’t expect a strong scent power here. This only has a light mist and can cover small areas, even with the thick mist option.

Moreover, we don’t recommend this in medium and big rooms because it works best if it’s actually near you. You can try using this in small areas but don’t expect the scent to fill up the whole room.

We recommend buying high-quality essential oils for the scent to last longer. Besides, I like having this on my desk for some aromatherapy while working!

Lastly, this features a 10-second intermittent mist mode of up to 16 hours! Pretty incredible for a small object, making it one of the best essential oil diffusers in Malaysia!

Pros

  • Simple and elegant design
  • Highly portable
  • Fits in cup holders
  • Has USB connection
  • Comes with intermittent mist mode for up to 16 hours

Cons

  • Scent fades fast on low water level
  • Not for medium and big rooms

Good value for money

“Nice design, easy to operate and maintain, compatible price. Suitable for beginner in aromatherapy.” – Anonymous, Signature Market Reviews

Good for cars

“The diffused mist is on the lighter side, which is just perfect for your car. The 2 levels mist intensity is quite useful for me. It fits perfectly in my drink holder in my car, even with the wire protruded. Overall really satisfied and a very good purchase for the economical price.” – Anonymous, Signature Market Reviews

One of our top portable aroma diffusers is the Xiaomi HL Mini Air Aromatherapy Diffuser. This is an affordable aromatherapy diffuser, making it highly accessible!

It’s a portable device we like because it’s easy to find a spot to put this on. You can fit this on the nightstand because of how compact it is, and it doesn’t look cheap despite being made from plastic material.

Despite the small size, this can run for 6 to 10 hours. That’s a long time since some small air diffusers on the market can only last 4 to 5 hours.

But you should know that there are no timer settings on this device. You have to press the on/off button to start and stop the mist, which sounds straightforward, but it eliminates the interval options.

We understand that may be an issue for some people because you can’t time this to turn off before sleeping. But some appreciated the straightforward design.

Additionally, this diffuser comes with 7 light colours! The light is also soft and looks comforting in a dark room.

As for the water capacity, you can put up to 120 ml. It’s good for a small room, but large rooms or spaces won’t fill up with the scent.

Another drawback is that the scent intensity will fade once the water reaches a low level. That’s something you need to worry about if your room is on the medium size.

On a good note, the overall look is simple and modern. I actually like how this looks on my desk, just don’t place it in a corner because it doesn’t lock and might get knocked over.

Also, this air diffuser comes with a USB cable, making it easy to move around and charge. It’s good for aromatherapy or humidifier because the mist comes out from the top.

Pros

  • Affordably priced
  • Portable air diffuser
  • Simple and modern design
  • Plugs via USB connection
  • Comes with 7 light colours

Cons

  • No timer settings
  • Not for large spaces
  • Scent fades with low water level

Easy to use

Great for small rooms

“Second buy. Recommended seller. Good reliable product. Suitable for small bedroom, operated with powerbank, hassle free.” – Anonymous, Shopee Reviews

Aroma diffusers are not just for adults. That’s why we were stoked to find out about the Young Living Feather the Owl Diffuser!

Kids need aromatherapy, too. Like us, they get stressed and need to relax from school, homework, and even after playtime.

We really admire that Young Living designed this aroma diffuser for kids. Just look at it! It’s a sleeping owl!

As a diffuser that is made for kids, this one comes with 10 LED light options, making it a great nightlight. The ambient lighting is not too bright for a kid’s room, just enough so they won’t get scared.

Additionally, all the talon buttons are touch-sensitive, including the high and low output modes and intermittent mode. Kids can also use it without difficulty.

Honestly, we think this is one of the best aroma diffusers for kids in Malaysia because everything is custom-designed for their safety. Feather the Owl also works well in any kid’s bedroom because of the design.

It also works on 323 sq ft room sizes, even with 165 ml of water. That’s a bigger capacity than other diffusers, and we like that you can smell the essential oil even after a few hours.

On top of that, we like that there are 5 white noise sounds to help the kids fall asleep. You can choose the sounds of rain, birds, ocean waves, fan, and lullabies.

Plus, we like that you can change the volume for better sleep. There are 5 levels, too, to drown out outside noise for sleeping.

On the downside, we were hoping that the cover would come with a locking mechanism for an added safety feature. Also, the touch buttons can be confusing sometimes because you can’t see which mode you’re using.

Finally, we commend Young Living for donating a portion of all proceeds of this diffuser to Tracy Aviary, a non-profit organisation that protects Feather the Owl’s bird friends and their habitats. Pretty great, right?

Pros

  • Designed for kids
  • Comes with touch-sensitive buttons
  • Has white noise sounds
  • Works on medium and big room sizes

Cons

  • No lock for the cover
  • No display for the modes

Good value for money

“This by far is one of my favorite diffusers especially for the money. It’s so easy to use and it’s adorable. I bought one for me and then bought one for my college age daughter who also loves it. It provides a night light and the sounds are soothing to listen to.” – Andrea, Amazon Reviews

Good white noise sounds

“It’s got nice sounds that help relax you like waterfall cascading and birds chirping. Definitely helps with the experience.” – German Palermo, Amazon Reviews

Upon unboxing the Plant Therapy Metro Stone Diffuser, we were surprised at how good it looks! It’s very sleek and unique without being too loud.

We love how this can add a touch of sophistication to your home. For us, this is a great addition to any room in the house and the yoga studio!

A unique aspect of this is the cement cover. Despite that, this is a lightweight air diffuser and is easy to handle because it’s not slippery.

But a minor concern we have is that some customers received their diffusers with scratches and scuffs on the cement cover. We understand that there can be inconsistency with the material, but too many scratches are disappointing.

Additionally, this comes in two colours: brown and grey. There aren’t a lot of diffusers in Malaysia that come in different colours, so we like these options.

This air diffuser can only hold up to 120 ml of water capacity, but we were stoked to find out it can still cover up to 322 sq ft of room. It also produces a pretty consistent mist, which we like.

However, we noticed that this aromatherapy diffuser cannot cover a medium or large room despite claiming a room size of 322 sq ft. We suggest adding in a few more drops than your usual count to intensify the scent.

On a good note, this comes with dimmable ambient lights. Frankly, it looks relaxing in a dark room.

Plus, this air diffuser comes with multiple intermittent settings! We also love that it automatically shuts off when the water level is low.

Pros

  • Sleek and sophisticated design
  • Cover is not slippery to handle
  • Comes in two colours
  • Provides a consistent mist
  • Lots of intermittent settings

Cons

  • Issues with scratches on the cement cover
  • Not for large rooms

Lots of timer options

“This diffuser has great timing options and feels well built we have both this one and the grey one. Definitely recommend!” – Rachel C., Plant Therapy Reviews

Simple but efficient

“Very nice, simple design that works efficiently. I’ve noticed there is less water/oil remaining when it shuts itself off which tells me less water & product waste—more efficient than previous diffusers.” – Karen O., Plant Therapy Reviews

Not to sound like a fangirl, but we have another Young Living diffuser on our list! This time, it’s the unique Lantern Diffuser!

It’s pretty obvious why we called this unique. It looks like a lantern and is a subtle yet elegant addition to your home!

Now, it’s not just the looks we love about this. This oil diffuser can also function as an atomizer and a humidifier, great for those with respiratory conditions.

Moreover, the plug is located at the bottom. We like the discreteness so that it won’t ruin the aesthetic.

Additionally, this aromatherapy diffuser has 10 light options! It even has a candle-flickering mode, making it look like you have an actual candle inside.

This is great for parties, don’t you think? You can place this on a side table while entertaining guests in your aromatic home — but be sure to ask them first if they have any health condition and they can’t tolerate aromatherapy!

We must mention that Young Living’s aesthetically-pleasing Lantern diffuser comes with some downsides. First, it’s fragile because the cover is made from metal and glass.

Second, this is a high-maintenance diffuser. Because it’s made from metal, you need to clean it after every use to avoid rusting.

Third, this isn’t good for travel because it’s heavy (it’s not easy to knock over, though). I suggest bringing Young Living’s Feather the Owl diffuser for trips because it’s small and lightweight.

On the upside, this aroma diffuser can cover a 322 sq ft area for up to 10 hours with 1 minute on/off intervals. Plus, it has a relatively large water capacity ay 200 ml.

Pros

  • Has a unique and beautiful look
  • Comes with 10 light options
  • Includes a candle-flickering mode
  • Can function as an atomizer

Cons

  • Requires frequent maintenance
  • Fragile materials
  • Not good for travel

One of the best car diffusers in Malaysia on our list is another one from Plant Therapy. This is the Portable Diffuser with Travel Pack, which we find a perfect companion on the go.

As the name suggests, this is a highly portable essential oil diffuser. It even comes with a carrying case, which is convenient, so you don’t have to worry about where to put this in your bag.

It also comes in two colours: wood grain and rose gold. Our team loves the wood grain one because it looks natural and blends perfectly in a black car interior.

Now, this car diffuser can only hold 50 ml of water. That’s understandable, but it can still make your vehicle smell good—choose a pleasant-smelling essential oil, okay?

Another positive aspect is this is a travel pack. With that, you get an exclusive Plant Therapy Travel essential oil blend!

What’s unique about it, you ask? It’s perfect for families because it’s kids, pregnancy, and nursing safe!

In addition to that, it’s pup and pony safe. That means it’s formulated to benefit dogs and horses (as well as humans, of course) to calm them down while on the drive.

Also, this fits in most cup holders. The lighting option has a soft ambient as well and doesn’t distract when driving at night.

Moreover, we appreciate that you can use this continuously for up to 3 hours on battery alone! Plus, this can last up to 10 hours when plugged in on intermittent mode.

However, this car diffuser shuts off when going over speed bumps a bit roughly. That was disappointing, considering this was made specifically for moving cars.

Another issue we found is you cannot fill this up with water to the highest recommended level. When the roads are bumpy, the water and essential oil can spill and damage your car diffuser.

Pros

  • Comes with a carrying case and essential oil
  • Has two colours available
  • Runs for 3 hours on battery
  • Essential oil is safe for kids, pregnant women, and dogs
  • Fits in cup holders

Cons

  • Shuts off on bumpy rides
  • Spills with filled-up water capacity

Highly portable

“Love how easy it is to use. Definitely liking the rechargeable feature, can be easily moved to different places in my home without the cord being in the way.” – Parice, Amazon Reviews

Works longer than expected

“This is great for the car, or a bedroom!! I love it! Keeps the scent going for a long time and I love the different options you have with how often it will be on! I mostly use the 5 on, 5 off selection. It comes with a great case as well!” – Taylor, Amazon Reviews

Signature Market released an impressive diffuser, the Plant Origins Aromatherapy Bluetooth Diffuser. As the name suggests, this comes with a Bluetooth feature, which we find convenient!

We like that you can use this to play your favourite music while relaxing. The built-in speakers certainly help with a perfect aromatherapy experience!

In addition, we like that this comes with a remote control because of the convenience. With that, you can lie down anywhere and turn on your aroma diffuser for an at-home spa experience.

Furthermore, you can adjust the timer setting using the remote. Also, you can change the mist spray intensity and use the intermittent mode which runs at 10-second intervals.

Another positive is this diffuser has 8 colours to choose from. Plus, we appreciate the added feature of changing the light intensity from bright to dim, allowing you to relax more.

A minor gripe we have is the light doesn’t distribute evenly. It mostly stays on the bottom part of the oil diffuser, which doesn’t look as nice with dimmed room lights.

It’s worth noting that you can fill this up with up to 300 ml of water. Not many diffusers in Malaysia have large water tanks, so we were surprised.

Plus, you can opt for continuous mist sprays for up to approximately 13 hours. But you can opt for 2 or 4 hours continuously until you fall asleep.

Something we noticed is the mist spray is kind of all over the place. But that’s not a bad thing because this can act as an atomizer or humidifier due to the strong mist spray.

We like that this has an automatic shutoff system once the water tank is empty. That’s a safety feature we appreciate.

A nitpick we have about this is that it’s not as aesthetically pleasing as other Plant Origins aromatherapy diffusers. That may not be a big issue for some, but in my personal opinion, this doesn’t look as premium as the others from the brand.

Pros

  • Has a Bluetooth function
  • Includes a remote control
  • Has a large water capacity
  • Can act as an atomizer

Cons

  • Light doesn’t distribute evenly
  • Not aesthetically pleasing

Things to Consider Before Buying a Diffuser in Malaysia

1. Area Coverage

Your diffuser should be able to cover your room to get the most out of it. Before purchasing your diffuser, you should know the size of your room to get the right one for you.

The average diffuser usually has a coverage area of 200 to 300 sq ft. Also, keep in mind that small or car diffusers cannot cover medium or big rooms.

2. User-friendly design

It’s best to get a diffuser that’s easy to understand and operate. Make sure to look for a diffuser with a simple manual that doesn’t involve too many buttons and applications that may confuse you.

It also helps to get an air diffuser with a remote control. This will help when you feel too lazy to get up from your bed to change the settings.

3. Noise

Some diffusers create noises when running, and if you are the type to get easily bothered by noises like this, choosing one that is quiet will be best.

Make sure that the diffuser you are eyeing emits minimal to no sound for better sleep and concentration.

4. Quality

Just like any item, we always have to be cautious with the product’s quality. We recommend you buy diffusers that are made of durable materials.

Essential oils contain chemicals that can cause cracks and break your diffuser if the material isn’t strong enough to handle it.
