It’s hard to argue that bathrooms are the worst-smelling rooms in your home. It doesn’t take a rocket science degree to figure out why, and we’re adults here, so we don’t need to go into the reason any further. But just because everyone has to deal with the same “stuff” in the bathroom doesn’t mean all bathrooms have to smell bad.
I was recently in the bathroom for the reason I’m alluding to, and I noted a much more pleasant smell than normal hit my nostrils. That’s when I realized my wife had done something to help out our whole household. I saw the Pura Mini smart home fragrance diffuser plugged into the outlet and was curious what it was. After learning more about it, I’m sure glad it’s in all the bathrooms we have. So is everyone else.

The Pura Mini customizes your scent experience
It makes foul smells disappear
The pleasant surprise of realizing we had the smart home fragrance diffuser in our home was a real emotional switch. This is because I’ve had to deal with my own stench in the past, and everyone knows their own work smells differently to them than it does to others.
So this means I no longer have to reach for matches to light a candle after bathroom trips, as I previously did. The Pura is timed, so it goes off on a schedule. But I can also go on the Pura app and have it dispense a bit of fragrance after a bathroom trip. The device is easy to use, as you plug it in and connect it to your Wi-Fi.
This lets you set schedules and sync up with your home. You can choose different smart features in the app, as you can adjust the schedule and add timers. You can choose how long it sprays the fragrance for and how intense you want the scent to be.
You’re able to customize how often you’re dispensing this and how much is coming out, giving you the flexibility to try and cover up some bathroom smells or just add some nice scents into the air. We bought a few Pura diffusers and have them in our bathrooms as well as in the living room and family room, two rooms where people frequently spend time. This ensures that they all smell good.

The only candles that my wife has allowed to be in our bathrooms are Threshold with Studio McGee candles with the scent of Santal & Ginger. It has been her favorite ever since we found a candle at Target years ago, and she has stuck with them for years.
Since she is currently pregnant and any off-the-beaten-path smell is immediately more pungent to her, sticking with the one she likes makes a lot of sense. Pura has a collaboration with Threshold that brings their candle scents to the diffuser. We purchased a bunch of the vials and have been able to enjoy them throughout the house for a while.
The Pura diffuser goes through vials in 30 days if it is diffusing scents for six to eight hours a day. This is at medium intensity in a smaller room, like a bathroom. For larger rooms, like if you use one in the kitchen to get rid of weird food smells, the vials can finish earlier than that. We usually turn down the intensity a bit more in the larger rooms to make them last longer. You can sign up for subscriptions through Pura, and they can come in four, eight, and 12-week intervals, keeping you fully stocked and never without your favorite fragrances.
Also, we aren’t looking to have the rooms smell perfumed. We don’t want the scent to be overpowering, unless you’re trying to cover up something that’s happened in the bathroom or if, say, the fridge is leaking some gross smells.
We can all understand what I mean by “bathroom trips.” There’s no need to get further into it than that.
The diffuser adapts to your environment
This has really impressed me

There is a lot that I like about the Pura Mini. But the fact that it has adaptive features that help it read the room’s temperature and adjust the intensity and fragrance from there is impressive.
The gadget takes into consideration your customization and feedback on the app and bases its diffusion on how comfortable the room is. This will give you a reliable and consistent scent experience because of how much it will use based on the temperature.
The Pura Mini is a smart home gadget for your bathroom, meaning it’s made for smaller rooms. You can put it in larger rooms, but you likely won’t get the same effect as you would with the Pura 4 or the Pura Plus diffusers. These hold two vials in one diffuser, helping spread the fragrance farther.
The Pura Mini smart diffuser keeps my home smelling better
Eliminating smells can be difficult, but the Pura Mini smart fragrance diffuser keeps my home on schedule. You can automate it by connecting it to Wi-Fi and setting up timers. It customizes its approach by reading the temperature in the room it’s in and adjusting the intensity. This is easily controlled and simple to use.
