Hyacinth reed diffuser next to an air purifier: PURE5 Lovely Bouquet

How was the PURE5 Lovely Bouquet diffuser delivered?

PURE5's flower-scented diffuser, Lovely Bouquet, arrived at my home. What honestly shocked me: I ordered on Saturday and it was delivered on Sunday!!

Korea's logistics and delivery system is really something. I did need a diffuser, but I never expected it to arrive this fast. Thank you to everyone working in parcel delivery in Korea. The diffuser even arrived very safely. When I opened the PURE5 box, there was also a leaflet covered in hyacinth-like flowers, matching the Lovely Bouquet scent.

What's in the PURE5 Lovely Bouquet box?

The PURE5 Lovely Bouquet box contains the 250ml Lovely Bouquet diffuser, one scent glass bottle you can pour the diffuser into, and five diffuser sticks. The sticks PURE5 includes are 5mm, so they're quite thick.

How many Lovely Bouquet reed sticks to start with, and when to replace them

According to the PURE5 Lovely Bouquet leaflet, you start with 2 diffuser sticks and adjust the number depending on how strongly the scent spreads. It takes up to about 48 hours for the scent to soak into the sticks, and the sticks should be replaced every 1–2 months. For safety, it says to keep the diffuser away from direct sunlight and from heaters.

The crystal scent bottle and its rubber seal

When I took the diffuser and the scent bottle out of the box, both had the scent name, Lovely Bouquet, written on them.

The PURE5 scent bottle has a fairly wide base, so it felt stable. A diffuser is basically liquid, so if it tips over the spill can be a real headache, but this bottle looks like it would never fall over. It's also clear crystal, so the light reflection is pretty and it seemed like it would work as interior decor too.

When you open the Lovely Bouquet cap, there's a rubber stopper inside. It's there to keep the liquid from leaking during shipping, and I liked how easily it came out. When a stopper is too tight, the diffuser sometimes tips over as you pull it out, but there was no such worry with the PURE5 diffuser.

Using the PURE5 Lovely Bouquet diffuser at home

I poured the PURE5 Lovely Bouquet liquid into the scent bottle. Happily, the liquid went into the bottle very smoothly.

Once I filled the bottle with Lovely Bouquet, it already felt like the scent of flowers was filling the room. PURE5 says it makes its diffusers with plant-based alcohol, made by saccharifying and fermenting plant-derived ingredients and then refining them. They say artificial chemical ingredients are kept to a minimum, which makes it comfortable to use in daily life.

PURE5 says it sources premium ingredients from Korea's largest importer and designs its diffusers to the safety standards of the IFRA (International Fragrance Association). IFRA sets out guidelines called the 'IFRA Standards', which regulate fragrance use based on scientific safety assessments. The diffuser follows these guidelines and is said to be certified by the Ministry of Environment as having no harmful substances detected.

What does PURE5 Lovely Bouquet smell like?

• Scent type: Green
• Top: Green
• Middle: Hyacinth
• Base: Sandalwood

PURE5 Lovely Bouquet is described as a blend of fresh green leaf notes and the moist, dewy scent of hyacinth, and when I actually smelled it, I could also pick up the calm, subtle scent of sandalwood.

How Lovely Bouquet's scent spreads next to an air purifier

Thanks to the plant-based alcohol, Lovely Bouquet spreads light and clean: fresh grass with morning dew, and then the natural scent of hyacinth. You get natural freshness and soft warmth at the same time, and I liked that the floral scent isn't overpowering and feels comfortable. I put Lovely Bouquet near my air purifier, and as the purifier ran, it carried the light, fresh green floral scent through the whole room, which was great. It felt just like standing in the middle of a flower market!
