From La Montaña, a reed diffuser in Alfredo's Café: "Set on the dining-room credenza or desk in your home office, La Montaña's 'Alfredo's Café' reed diffuser delivers a rich aroma all day long.

Fitted with a prestigious marble cork sourced from the Apuan Alps, this 24-karat gold leaf bottle is drenched in opulence, making for a stunning addition to your ornamental arrangement.") The 5L bottle was £12,000, now a bargain at £9,599.

Floral Street's Spring Bouquet diffuser ("Bringing a burst of sunlight in through your windows and a wild country garden vibe into your space: a fusion of crisp, green floral fusion with pockets of rhubarb, bay and cedarwood") is decent looking and not too spendy: £28 for 100 ml, at John Lewis.
