Estate sales, yard sales, and antique shops were regular weekend destinations for my brother and me as kids. My parents, always on the hunt for period-appropriate decor for our Staten Island 19th-century house, made sure of it. Since then, I’ve had a love for home design and…read more

I live in a small apartment with two kids, so strong scents can quickly feel overwhelming. That’s why I’m always searching for diffusers and fragrances that keep my home subtly fresh. My quest ended when I tried the Aera Mini diffuser. A favorite among editors and a recipient of Apartment Therapy’s 2024 Small/Cool Design Award, this sleek device delivers light, nuanced aromas that meet all my needs.

Even better, the brand is running its Fall Reset Edit through August 16, offering 20% off diffusers plus scents (like the Apartment Therapy and Clarity collections), with savings appearing in your cart. I’ve highlighted the mini diffuser options below, but the larger diffuser varieties are also on sale. And because discounts from this brand are rare, it’s an ideal moment to stock up. With each fragrance capsule lasting up to three months, these delicate, mood-setting scents have become an integral part of my home!

Aera Mini Forest Green & English Cottage
$127$102

Designed for spaces up to 400 square feet, the Aera Mini Diffuser is a great pick for compact rooms, with the limited-edition forest green shade introducing a bright pop of color. This set includes the floral English Cottage fragrance, bringing a fresh garden atmosphere indoors. Plus, it integrates with the user-friendly Aera app, making it easy to customize schedules and timers.

English Cottage Mini
$32$27

By blending floral notes like gardenia with amber, grapefruit, and fig, the English Cottage scent smells like you’re actually walking through a flower market in the summer. Both the Mini and the Aera (for larger spaces) are on sale.

Aera Mini Terracotta & Tuscan Villa
$127$102

If you prefer a different colorway for the Mini, the limited-edition terracotta makes a great choice. Designed to save space, this plug-in adaptation of the brand’s original diffuser is super easy to operate. To top it off, this set comes paired with the warm, rich Tuscan Villa fragrance. Bellissimo.

Tuscan Villa Mini
$32$27

Contributor Nikol highlights the delicate balance of Tuscan Villa, noting that she particularly admires how it blends rich, warm accents like vanilla orchid with fresh, botanical elements like lavender and sage. And if you have the Aera diffuser for bigger spaces, the larger Tuscan Villa fragrance is also on sale.

Aera Mini & The Crystal Sea
$125$100

I’ve grown to really appreciate Aera’s entire Clarity line — each scent is crafted specifically to foster focus and a clear mind. Though I was initially skeptical of those claims, having tested them for several months, I can confirm that a quick whiff genuinely boosts your mood. Crystal Sea, in particular, offers an invigorating mix of sea breeze, amber, yellow roses, and other notes. Here, you can get it with a Mini diffuser, but just the scent alone is also on sale.

$100 at Aera
Aera Mini & Flower of Light
$125$100

Whether you get the Flower of Light fragrance with a Mini diffuser or just the scent alone, you’ll get a mix of jasmine, white rose, and cardamom that will help bring calm and clarity to your day.

$100 at Aera
Aera Mini & Golden Woods
$125$100

Optionally paired with a Mini diffuser, the Golden Woods fragrance combines notes of cedar, patchouli, and sandalwood. Whether purchased as a set or individually, this woodsy blend helps foster daily focus for up to three months.

$100 at Aera
Brooklyn Brownstone Mini
$32$27

Contributor Alicia is a big fan of the Brooklyn Brownstone fragrance. "As someone who dreams of owning a Brooklyn brownstone, the name and packaging instantly caught my attention," she notes. "Fortunately, the scent itself delivers all the warmth and comfort of a cozy apartment on a crisp autumn night."
