You may have seen on my Instagram that for Christmas, Steve got me the NEOM Wellbeing Pod Luxe. I’ve been absolutely waxing lyrical about this essential oil diffuser since I got it, so figured I’d let you know how I’m getting on with it.
This is the largest of NEOM’s Wellbeing Pods, designed to scent large spaces in virtually minutes. I currently have it in our room, but will probably move it downstairs eventually and get one of the smaller pods for our bedroom. They’re definitely not kidding when they said it would scent a whole open space in minutes. The scent fills our ENTIRE upstairs, and even makes it’s way downstairs too! This, of course, depending on the intensity setting. So that alone impresses me.
The pod comes with a handy remote control, and it is so easy to use. There are several settings, such as low intensity mist, high intensity mist, and an alternating mode. You can also set the mist on a timer, which is extremely helpful.
Judging by looks alone, the pod is absolutely gorgeous. It has a very minimalist design, comprised of a ceramic cover and sustainably sourced wood base. It’s incredibly chic looking! The pod itself lights up when turned on, and you are able to change the light setting via the remote as well (note – the timer setting is just for the mist, not the light; it will stay lit up until you shut the pod off completely).
It’s advised to use NEOM’s own essential oil blends with the diffuser, as other brands have not been tested with it. The blends are high-quality and made from 100% natural ingredients.. I bought the bundle of scents which includes:
Scent To Boost Your Energy – Sicilian lemon & fresh basil, to help you feel refreshed and energised
Scent To De-Stress – Includes lavender, jasmine & Brazilian rosewood, to help you unwind and feel calm
Scent To Make You Happy – neroli, mimosa & lemon, to help you feel uplifted and more positive
Scent To Sleep – Includes English lavender, sweet basil & jasmine to help you relax and prepare for sleep
I’ve had a little whiff of each scent out of the bottles and they all smell absolutely lovely. So far I’ve used Scent To Boost Your Energy, and Scent To Sleep. The Scent To Sleep is the most used in our house, because sleep is something we obviously struggle with, with a two year old who still doesn’t sleep through the night. Don’t get me wrong, I know that we’re going to need a miracle in the sleep department (LOL), but I do find the scent very relaxing before bedtime. I set a timer for an hour or two before we go to bed to have the scent mist, which is enough to fill the air with it while we attempt to drift off to sleep before one of Aidan’s inevitable wake-ups.
One thing that I almost forgot to mention is this great feature that it has called “Breathing Mode”. The light slowly brightens for 7 seconds, then dims for 11 seconds for a guided moment of calm, helping you to regulate your breathing. So you inhale for 7 seconds while lit, and then breather out for 11 seconds while the light dims. Such a great idea and helps you to bring a moment of mindfulness and calm in your day.
I’m not going to lie, the pod is quite pricey. It’s definitely a “splurge” treat or gift. But after using it for a bit, I really do think it’s worth it, if it’s in your budget. Especially after talking with other people who bought cheaper diffusers, saying the quality wasn’t exactly what they thought it would be. I do believe that when it comes to wellbeing and essential oils that it’s absolutely not worth scrimping. These oils are being diffused into the air for you to breathe in, so you need to use oils with high-quality ingredients, and NEOM has definitely nailed that.
All in all, I’m thrilled with it, and am definitely going to check out more of NEOM’s extensive range of products!
Do you have a NEOM essential oil diffuser or have you used any of their products? Would love to hear other people’s experiences with them!
