Are you looking for an eco-friendly way to fragrance your home, that doesn’t involve flames or fumes? I do love a scented candle (when it’s made of natural soy or other vegetable wax of course) but now we have our gorgeous kitten Dot, I’m a bit worried she might burn herself as she’s very inquisitive. New eco-friendly and ethical gift shop Boostology have come to our rescue though.
They have a very stylish, unique and eco-friendly home fragrance solution: the Lava & Obsidian Volcanic Potpourri Essential Oil Diffuser. Read on to find out how it helps you fragrance your home in an eco-friendly and most beautiful way.
How the Lava & Obsidian Volcanic Potpourri Essential Oil Diffuser Fragrances Your Home
I was really intrigued when I saw an image of Boostology’s Lava & Obsidian Volcanic Potpourri Essential Oil Diffuser. And when it arrived, I was just as impressed – it looks so chic doesn’t it?
This simple yet stylish matte black glass container is full of lava and obsidian volcanic stones, with a unique hand-polished red Agate stone lid, that also acts as a coaster. It comes in a black box, so it makes a great gift for home fragrance lovers. You can buy it alone to use with essential oils that you already have, or buy it with custom blends to add to your diffuser.
It’s really easy to fragrance your home with essential oils – just add 6-10 drops of your favourite essential oil to the stones. The porous lava acts like a sponge, soaking up the fragranced oil. It slowly releases the natural fragrance into your room, and looks gorgeous as it works!
I find the scent is noticeable when I enter our lounge, but it’s not overpowering: the perfect balance.
Why Use Lava and Obsidian for Home Fragrance?
Apparently the volcanic rocks in the diffuser have special properties.
“Crystal healers use Lava rock to provide themselves with calmness and strength; whilst Obsidian is said to be protective, shielding you from negativity. Agate is used to enhance mental function & improve your concentration, making this a perfect decorative accessory for your workspace.”

Why Volcanic Potpourri is A Great Eco-Friendly Home Fragrance
Aside from how beautiful this volcanic rock diffuser looks, it’s also a great choice to scent an eco-friendly homes, as it never needs replacing.
When the fragrance fades, you just add more oil. And if you want a difference scent, you can wash the volcanic rocks, and add a different essential oil.
There are no electric parts to break, no cost to run it, and no flames or fumes. Pure, simple and minimal.
Volcanic Potpourri Makes a Great Eco-Friendly Fragrance Gift
For me, being more eco-friendly doesn’t just mean swapping single-use items for reusables or trying to minimise plastic – as vital as that is! I think it’s also about making considered choices for everything, from gifts, to homeware and the life’s little luxuries.
This luxurious way to fragrance your home is definitely a lovely little luxury and would make the perfect gift, especially when paired with one of Boostology’s essential oils. I chose ‘Unwind’ which “contains a special blend of calming lavender, and uplifting bergamot essential oils that contains 100% natural plant extracts.” You could also choose ‘Sunshine’, ‘Bloom’, or ‘Revive’ natural essential oils, which also sound gorgeous.
Boostology: An Eco-Friendly Company
I think the way a company packages its products is really important and I’m pleased to see that Boostology use recyclable cardboard boxes with brown paper packaging tape (also recyclable). And instead of polystyrene, they use natural starch packaging which is biodegradable and compostable. My kids love helping them dissolve in water! And so do I, frankly! Swipe to see what happens when you add water!
Boostology also plant a tree with every order, and have teamed up with Ecologi, a Bristol based organisation working on reforestation projects in the UK, and around the world. Boostology say “The cost of tree planting is taken from our profits, and is not added onto your prices.”
So all in all I’m delighted with my volcanic rock diffuser, and will be looking for gifts from Boostology when I start my Christmas shopping! They have a lovely, thoughtful range of gifts that I know my giftees will love! Take a look at Boostology’s range here.
