Ecoya Diffuser or Ecoya Candles? How to Choose the Right One
Choosing between an Ecoya diffuser and Ecoya candles comes down to how you want to use the fragrance. An Ecoya diffuser scents a room all day without a flame, while an Ecoya soy candle gives a stronger burst of scent and soft candlelight when you’re home. Here’s how they compare, from our team at Expressions in Cambridge.

When to choose an Ecoya diffuser
The Ecoya reed diffuser is housed in a glass jar with a silver lid and seven reeds, designed to fill small to medium spaces with a long-lasting scent. It comes in a gift box, which makes it one of our most popular presents.
- Guava & Lychee Reed Diffuser ($59.99, 200ml)
- Guava & Lychee Mini Diffuser ($34.99)
- French Pear and Celebration diffusers in both sizes
Flip the reeds every week or so to refresh the fragrance. When the oil runs out, top up with an Ecoya diffuser refill ($44.99) instead of buying a new jar.
When to choose Ecoya candles
Ecoya candles are made from natural soy wax blended with Ecoya’s signature fragrances and poured into elegant glass jars. Light one when you want the room to feel warm and welcoming, such as before guests arrive or while you unwind in the evening.
- Guava & Lychee Madison Jar candle ($59.99)
- Guava & Lychee Madison Mini Jar ($29.99)
- Grand Celebration Candle ($119.99), a showpiece gift
Trim the wick before each burn and let the wax melt to the edge of the jar the first time, so the candle burns evenly.
