Best Splurge: Diptyque Baies Reed Diffuser Set
Why It’s Worth It: Yes, Diptyque’s Baies Reed Diffuser Set may be the priciest option on this list, but boy is it worth every penny. As you can expect from Baies, a French word that translates to “berries,” it’s infused with the delectably fruity note of blackcurrants, but you’ll also notice a hint of floral rose.
