I don’t know about you, dear reader, but there’s nothing I love quite like a good summer cocktail. My go-to? The ever-popular Aperol Spritz. But, with August in the rearview mirror, that means summer is quickly coming to a close, as is spritz season. Now, while I am personally a big fan of the fall, I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic for the warmer months of summer once the temperatures start to dip. (You truly don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone, eh?) Because of this, I do my best to find ways to keep the spirit of summer alive as long as I can. One of my favorite ways to do this is with home fragrance, and this year I may just have discovered the ultimate way to extend both summer and spritz season: Antica Farmacista’s Aperol Spritz Diffuser. Yep, you read that right, now your home can smell like the summer’s favorite drink all year long.

What is the Antica Farmacista Aperol Sprtiz Diffuser?

Housed in a gorgeous apothecary-inspired bottle, the Antica Farmacista Aperol Spritz Diffuser is the ultimate home fragrance for the cocktail-obsessed. It features the most delectable notes of zingy bitter orange, grapefruit, tangerine, bitters, and prosecco, capturing the magic of the drink. Simply uncork the bottle, place in the reeds, and you’ll be instantly transported to the Italian coast in the middle of July.

Why I Love the Antica Farmacista Aperol Sprtiz Diffuser

Now, I think it’s important to share I test a lot of home fragrance, so much so that in recent months I’ve found that I haven’t been wowed by anything — until this diffuser arrived, that is. As an Aperol Spritz fan, I was intrigued to see if this diffuser could truly capture the essence of the drink in a fragrance. Well, I’m happy to report it more than met my expectations. After uncorking the bottle, I took a quick whiff of the oil and for a split second, I could have sworn I had the drink itself in my hand (don’t worry, I didn’t take a sip).

With that first sniff, you immediately pick up on the bitter orange, grapefruit, and prosecco notes. It truly is a dreamy scent. If I had to describe it, I would say it smells like what I imagine the air smells like during a sunset al fresco dinner on the Amalfi Coast (that might sound dramatic but it’s exactly what I pictured when I first smelled it). It also has the perfect throw; it’s nowhere near overpowering but still manages to fill the air with a light aroma that drifts in intensity throughout the day. As someone who lives in a studio apartment, this is something I really appreciate.

The Aperol Spritz Diffuser comes in a range of sizes, including a 3.4-ounce bottle for $28, an 8.5-ounce bottle for $69 (my personal pick), and a 16.9-ounce bottle for $96. Not a diffuser fan but still want to give the scent a try? Check out the complete Aperol Spritz collection, which includes a candle, room spray, body wash, and more! Whichever method you try, I’m sure you’ll find that this scent hits all the right notes for the happiest hours. Long live the summer cocktail season!
