“Received in a week, works perfectly, several operating modes. To put a but — it’s not completely silent, but it doesn’t bother.”

A cool mist lit from below, so it flickers like a real fire — but nothing burns and nothing gets hot. Eight flame colours, five hours of quiet scent, and four aroma oils in the box.
LED light rising through cool mist, so it flickers and drifts like a real flame. Nothing burns, nothing gets hot, and you can leave it running while you fall asleep.
Four 10ml water-soluble aroma oils come in the box — rose, lemon, sakura and lily. A few drops in the tank and the room smells like it looks.
It arrives ready to hand over, oils included. Buy two and keep one — the second is the easiest gift you will give this year.

How It Works
There's no flame inside — and that's exactly why it works. Three simple parts make a fire that flickers, moves and glows, without a single thing burning in your home.
150ml goes in the tank, plus a few drops of aroma oil if you want scent. An ultrasonic plate vibrates the water into a cool mist — no heat, no boiling, nothing hot to touch.
LEDs sit under the opening and throw light up through the rising mist. Because the mist curls and drifts, the light moves with it — and your eye reads it as fire.
Eight colours, from a warm orange fireplace glow to a cool blue that's better for winding down. Run it with light only, scent only, or both.
Best seen in a dim room — like any fire, it looks its best once the lights are low.
It is not a real fireplace and it is not a whole-room humidifier. Here is the honest picture.

Run it every night for three months. If the flame is not as good as it looks here, or the person you gave it to is not using it, send it back within 90 days for a full refund. No forms to fill in, no reason needed.
No, and that's the point. It's LED light shining up through cool mist, so it moves like fire without anything burning. Nothing gets hot, there's no smoke and no fire risk, so you can leave it on while you fall asleep.
It adds a little moisture to the air, but the tank is 150ml, so it's an aroma diffuser rather than a room humidifier. If you want to fix seriously dry air in a whole room, buy a proper humidifier instead. We'd rather tell you now.
About 5 to 7 hours, at 20–30ml per hour. When the water runs out it switches itself off automatically, so you can't damage it by forgetting.
The diffuser, a USB-C cable, instructions, and four 10ml water-soluble aroma oils: rose, lemon, sakura and lily. There's no wall plug — use any phone charger, laptop or power bank you already have.
Yes, a few drops of any water-soluble aroma oil. The oils we include are water-soluble aroma oils, not pure therapeutic-grade essential oils, and they're made for diffusers like this one.
It runs under 36dB, which is quieter than a fridge. Honest caveat: it isn't completely silent. In a dead-quiet room you'll hear a soft hum.
The diffuser itself is, since there's no flame or heat. But some aroma oils, especially tea tree and eucalyptus, aren't safe for cats and dogs. If you have pets, check the oil before you diffuse it, or run it with plain water for the flame effect alone.
25.5cm long and 7.5cm tall, so about the size of a pencil case. Use filtered or distilled water where you can, since tap water can leave a fine white dust over time. Rinse it out every week or so.
