Scent Diffuser FAQs:
How to connect my scent diffuser to the app
Oil Usage for all scent diffusers
The oil consumption meter has been removed from the latest version of the app and is no longer available. More testing is needed for accurate information. For the Travel Unit, the 2oz bottle can last up to a month if you run it for 3-6 hours a day at the medium setting (60 seconds work, 120 pause. For the Smart 101 machine, your 4oz bottle of oil will last between 3-4 weeks if you schedule it 7 days a week, up to 8 hours a day at 20%. For the Professional Unit, the oil can last 2-3 months of you run it on Level 3-4 for up to 8 hours a day.
Do you have to clean the scent diffuser's canister between oil refills?
You CAN clean your machine between scents, but the previous scent lingers for a few minutes before the new scent takes over. We do not recommend washing your machine with soap and water, we recommend rubbing alcohol. You can put a small amount of rubbing alcohol into the machines inside canister and run it like it’s fragrance oil for an hour or so, it’ll cleanse the draw tube and inside.
Do you have extra canisters for scent diffusers?
Can the Scent Machine 101 Smart be scheduled to go off 1-2 times an hour?
Our Smart 101 machine is designed to diffuse every minute; there is no way for it to diffuse once or twice an hour. You have 5 separate events to schedule the machine to diffuse 5 different times a day.
Do I need an air switch kit?
The Air Switch Kit is optional and only needed if you want your Professional Unit to turn on and off with your HVAC system.
Can the Scent Machine 101 Smart connect to HVAC?
No, The Smart 101 is a standalone or wall-mounted diffuser and is not designed for HVAC installation.
My scent diffuser is on but not diffusing, can I get a replacement?
Please contact our Care team anytime Monday-Saturday 9-5 PST. We'll help troubleshoot the issue before determining if a replacement is needed.
My scent diffuser is leaking
Check that the machine was not tipped over with oil inside, the canister is not overfilled, and the canister is installed correctly. We do recommend leaving some room in any machines canister when filling it with fragrance. Also check that the machine’s O-rings are not damaged, dry or warped, as this can cause leaks. If you need further assistance, please reach out to our Care Team.
How long can the tubing for the Scent Machine Pro unit be?
The tubing should be no longer than 4 feet. Longer tubing can cause excess condensation inside the tube before the fragrance reaches the tip.
NOTE: splitting the diffusion will reduce your scenting efficiency. One diffuser to one air handler gives best results.
Do you provide split tubing so I can use 1 Pro to port in two places?
We do not provide split tubing for the Professional Unit, the customer is responsible for making their own. Keep in mind that the tubing should only be 4 feet.
How can I get extra tubing for my Scent Machine Pro?
Extra Professional Unit tubing is 3/8 inches that can be found at your local hardware store. You can reach out to the Aroma Retail care team for additional tubing also.

Servicing Questions
Are the scents authentic to the hotels?
Yes, our CEO, Jim Reding, created these scents for the hotels. They are the authentic resort scents that most of the resorts in Las Vegas still use!
Can you mix scents?
Yes, you can mix Aroma Retail’s fragrances to create your own “custom” scent. We encourage you to be creative.
Are your oil refills okay to make candles with?
Our 2, 4 and 27oz refills are formulated for cold air diffusers. Since they are formulated in a certain way, our customers can try making their own candles, but we can’t guarantee the outcome since the fragrance oil is mixed with a base to help it perform in our waterless machines.
Nose blindness
It’s normal to get blind nose when using a scent for a few months, we offer fragrance samples to explore new scents to rotate through.
Do the oils work in a warmer?
Yes, just don’t expose the oil to a direct flame.
How do the sample blotters work?
Our sample blotters are large Q-Tips that we dip directly in the concentrated fragrance oil to simply preview the scent. You can let them dry after removing them from their mylar packet to get a better idea of how they smell diffused.
Can I dilute the oils with water or alcohol, to make it less strong?
You should NOT dilute our fragrance oils with any type of liquid; it’ll ruin the product. Our fragrance products come ready to use.
What does "Pure Grade Fragrance Oil" mean?
Pure Grade means that it contains no synthetic toxins or volitile organic compounds (VOC's). VOC's that are normally found in raw essential oils include pollen and other naturally occuring irritants that can cause alergic reactions in other people and animals. We start with essential oils, then remove these VOC's with different methods depending on the ingredients. This can include distillation, natural solvent extraction, filtration, and enfleurage. It can get tricky and expensive to make pure fragrance oils because we often find that the character of the scent of each ingredient can change when VOC's are removed, and we have to add other ingredients to get us back to the desired notes. This is part of the reason why luxury pure grade fragrance oils have so many different ingredients in them. Every ingredient started from what is found in raw essential oils.
What makes it a luxury scent?
What makes a scent luxurious is the same thing that makes music have depth: harmony. When you play the right two notes at the same time on a piano you often hear a third note, meaning those two notes you're playing are in harmony. Experiment by playing A and E on the keyboard of a piano, and you will hear a third note that sounds a lot like C-sharp. The same thing happens in luxury fragrances, which include enough fragrance notes to give rise to uniquely rich harmonic scents. Lemon and Ginger give a harmony of Sandalwood, while Lemongrass and Aloe give a harmony of Coconut. It is these harmonies that fragrance experts play with to achieve luxury by putting together multiple harmonies like you find in a musical orchestra. The depth can be hard to describe but wonderful to experience.
Can the gallon linen spray refill work in a scent diffuser?
No, the formulation for our linen sprays are different then our machine refill bottles. We use the same fragrance oil but a different mixing base for the performance.
Can I use the machine refills to refill reed diffusers and room sprays
No, again those products are formulated differently and won’t perform properly.
When do the fragrances expire? How long can the scents be kept?
Our fragrance oils have a shelf life of about 2 years as long as they are stored out or direct sunlight and in a room temperature area.
Are your scents safe for pets?
Yes because we only sell Pure Grade Fragrance Oils. While our manufacturing process starts with all natural essential oils, Pure Grade Fragrance Oils are much further refined to remove volatile organic compounds (VOC's) that could cause allergic reactions in people and animals. This is an elaborate process, because sometimes removing so many VOC's changes the way the original ingredient smells, so we have to keep going back to the drawing board to make up the smell that we want. For example, Lavender as a raw essential oil can be very toxic for cats and dogs, and its smell is reduced to something that smells like Sandalwood when the VOC's are removed; therefore, we have to add back other refined florals to make up the Lavender bouquet of scent that is now free of toxins.
