The busiest shopping weekend of the year starts on Black Friday, and we can't think of a more fitting time to lean all the way into some aromatherapy. If you're in need of some scent-induced R&R, now is the best time to buy an essential oil diffuser. Well-known brands like Saje Natural Wellness and Vitruvi are dropping prices on some of their best scent-wafting devices.
Essential oil diffusers not only freshen up any space, but many of the oils also have other various therapeutic benefits. "Aromatherapy can be beneficial in the management of certain symptoms such as anxiety, pain, nausea, and insomnia," Megan E. Voss, an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing and director of integrative therapy, pediatric blood and marrow transplant at the school’s Masonic Children’s Hospital, previously told Allure.
Additionally, several scientific studies have found that some essential oils (including lavender, chamomile, eucalyptus, lemon, rose, and grapefruit, to name a few) may positively impact your mood, health, and nervous system. Plus, whether you're an aromatherapy newbie or seasoned scent pro, essential oil diffusers make it easy to indulge in some (very well-deserved) self-care.
Read on for a few of our favorites that you can score on sale now. Simply add water, add a few drops of your favorite oil, and sniff the stress away.

Vitruvi Move Diffuser
Now is truly the time to get that essential oil diffuser you've been willing to splurge on — but would prefer a slightly less splurge-y splurge, if you know what we mean. Vitruvi diffusers are among the fancier options out there, and totally worth the spend, but getting them on sale just makes the aromatherapy smell even sweeter, don't you think?
We especially love the new Move Diffuser, a cordless, sleek, cylindrical model that can go anywhere in the house — since it runs up to eight hours before needing to be charged. It comes in seven stylish colors (Willow is pictured above), and, like everything on the Vitruvi website it will be marked down by 30 percent from November 21 to 29. Need an excuse to pick up a second Vitruvi diffuser for someone else on your gift list? Orders over $150 will get a lovely limited-edition oil tray.

Saje Natural Wellness Aroma (Be) Free Matte White
At first glance, the person to whom you give the Saje Natural Wellness Aroma (Be) Free Matte White may not even realize it's a diffuser. It looks like a stunning contemporary art piece from a museum gift shop — and that's definitely part of its charm. But its main purpose is to scent your space for up to eight cordless hours.
This geometric wonder will be among the site-wide 20-percent-off sale on Saje's website from November 22 to 25. But if you happen to — oops! — conveniently forget to shop before Thanksgiving, waiting until Black Friday weekend means getting up to 30 percent off site-wide.

Pura Smart Device
The Pura Smart Device is an electronic aromatherapy diffuser, though it's technically not an essential oil diffuser. And that's fine with us — the selection of scents (which includes Disney collaborations) available to use with this innovative, atmosphere-improving gadget earns it a spot on this list. It plugs right into an outlet, and you control its scenting schedule and intensity with a smartphone app. And if you spend $100 on the Pura website between November 26 and November 29, you'll get a device for free.
By the way, just in case you're an essential-oil purist, worry not. Several of the fragrances available, like Lafco's Champagne scent, are made with essential oils.

Hew Dewy Wireless Facial Humidifier
But what if you or your gift recipient isn't really a big aromatherapy person and would prefer to simply be hydrated via a similarly adorable device? We got you. Between November 22 and 28, Hey Dewy is offering 20 percent off of its humidifiers with the code BFCM20. Needless to say, we recommend the Hey Dewy Wireless Facial Humidifier, because it's a Best of Beauty winner, but all of the brand's portable picks are awesome.
Remember, the goal of these diffusers is to help you unwind. Yes, these deals won't last long, but no need to panic buy. Calmly click add to cart on your favorites before the discounts disappear, and then practice a daily meditation routine while you wait for it to arrive.
