Nothing says romance like the smell of roses in the air. And nothing puts the smell of roses in the air quite like saying, "Hey Google, turn on my aromatherapy diffuser." This smart aromatherapy diffuser turns on and off with an app, allows for a schedule so you can literally wake up and smell the roses (or lavender or peppermint), and works with Alexa and Google Home.

What could happen if something goes wrong?

Because the only privacy policy we could find for this company applies only to their website and not to this product specifically, we were unable to answer questions about how it might share any data it collects on users. Also, we were unable to determine if the product uses encryption. These are two red flags when you consider the app that controls this device accesses your phone's camera, microphone, and locaton tracking. Also, it's possible someone could hack your aromatherapy diffuser and wake you up in the middle of the night to the smell of roses. Not the worst thing that could happen ever, but still might be creepy.
