Alisse is the name on everyday accessories that double as small gifts: decorative car essential oil diffusers in stainless steel and beaded bracelets.
A car diffuser of this type is passive: it has no battery, no cable and nothing to switch on. Inside a small metal case sits an absorbent pad. You put a few drops of essential oil on the pad, close the case and fit the diffuser to an air vent. When the car's fan runs, air passes through the openings and carries the scent into the cabin; turn the fan up and the scent gets stronger, turn it off and it fades. It is a simple alternative to the disposable cardboard air fresheners that hang from the mirror, because the case is used again and again and only the oil is topped up.
The Alisse diffusers are small, about 3 cm tall, with a decorative stainless-steel front in motifs such as a spring or a dog's paw. The case closes with magnets, which also hold the pad in place, and the pads come in different colours that show through the openings, so you can change the look along with the scent. Alongside them is a set of two elastic bead bracelets, one matt black and one white with a marbled pattern; the elastic cord stretches over the hand, so there is no clasp to fiddle with.
