Scent Diffuser & Fragrance FAQs
Clear answers to help you choose, use and care for your Maison Scents products.
Choosing a diffuser
Which diffuser is right for my space?
Match the diffuser’s recommended coverage to your square footage, then consider ceiling height, open doors and HVAC zones. Use a compact plug-in for one room, EiraMist for open areas up to 1,000 sq. ft., the S45 for spaces up to 4,500 sq. ft., and the S80 for spaces up to 9,000 sq. ft.
What is cold-air diffusion?
Cold-air diffusion turns fragrance oil into a fine, dry mist without mixing it with water. This allows adjustable, consistent scenting for rooms, homes, cars and commercial spaces.
Do I need an HVAC diffuser?
An HVAC diffuser is useful when you want one fragrance distributed across multiple rooms served by the same air system. For a single room or smaller zone, a standalone or plug-in diffuser may be simpler.
What is the difference between the S45 and S80?
The S45 is designed for whole-home and medium-space coverage up to 4,500 sq. ft. The S80 is intended for larger homes and commercial areas up to 9,000 sq. ft. Layout and HVAC zoning can affect the final recommendation.
Can one diffuser scent my entire home?
It can when the unit is sized correctly and the target rooms share the same airflow or HVAC zone. Homes with separate systems or closed-off wings may need more than one scenting point.
Where should I place a standalone diffuser?
Choose a stable, upright position with natural airflow. Avoid hiding it behind furniture or placing it where children or pets can knock it over. Follow the placement instructions supplied with your model.
Fragrance oils & intensity
How do I choose a fragrance?
Start with the feeling you want: citrus and bergamot feel bright; white tea and soft florals feel airy; vanilla, amber and woods feel warm; oud and dark woods create a deeper statement. Visit our fragrance finder or try the Discovery Box.
How strong should my diffuser be?
Start at a low intensity and allow time for the fragrance to circulate before increasing it. A subtle background scent usually feels more refined than a strong first impression.
Why can’t I smell the fragrance after a while?
Your sense of smell can temporarily adapt to a familiar fragrance. Before raising the intensity, leave the space for a short period, return and reassess. Also check the oil level, diffuser schedule and airflow.
Can I use any oil in a Maison Scents diffuser?
Use fragrance oil intended for cold-air diffusion and compatible with your model. Oils with the wrong viscosity or formulation can affect performance and may damage the equipment.
Can I mix two fragrance oils?
We recommend experiencing each fragrance as designed unless Maison Scents specifically suggests a pairing. Mixing oils can change the scent, viscosity and diffuser performance.
How should fragrance oil be stored?
Keep the bottle tightly closed, upright and away from direct sunlight, heat and children or pets. Clean spills promptly and avoid contact with skin, furniture, leather, wood and finished surfaces.
Refills & subscriptions
How often will I need a fragrance refill?
Usage depends on the device, daily schedule and intensity. Monthly delivery works well for frequent use; every two or three months may suit lighter home use. Check your oil level before each expected shipment and adjust as needed.
Can I buy fragrance oil without subscribing?
Yes. Eligible oils can be purchased once or ordered through a subscription. The product page will show the available choices.
What subscription frequencies are available?
Eligible fragrance oils can offer monthly, every-two-months and every-three-months delivery options. Availability is shown when you select Subscribe & Save on the product page.
Can I pause, skip or change a subscription?
Use the customer subscription portal to manage the options available for your plan, including future deliveries and payment information.
Can I subscribe to different scents?
Yes, if the selected fragrance and size are eligible for subscription. You can create subscriptions based on the scents and refill schedule that fit your spaces.
Setup, care & troubleshooting
How do I install an HVAC scent diffuser?
Follow the instructions provided with your diffuser. Identify the correct HVAC zone, keep tubing secure and place the unit where it remains upright and accessible. Use a qualified professional when installation requires HVAC or electrical work beyond the supplied directions.
How often should I clean my diffuser?
Follow the care schedule for your specific model, especially when changing fragrance oils or if output decreases. Routine cleaning helps keep the nozzle and internal pathways operating properly.
Why is my diffuser not producing scent?
Check that the unit has power, the oil bottle is installed correctly, the schedule is active and the intensity is above zero. Confirm the oil is not empty and inspect accessible tubing or connections according to the manual.
Why is the scent uneven from room to room?
Different duct zones, closed doors, high ceilings and changing airflow can affect distribution. Confirm which rooms share the same HVAC system and adjust one setting at a time.
What should I do if fragrance oil spills?
Stop the diffuser, keep the bottle upright and blot the spill immediately without spreading it. Follow the surface manufacturer’s cleaning guidance. Concentrated oil can damage furniture, leather, wood, plastic and other finishes.
Does my diffuser include a warranty?
Eligible Maison Scents diffusers include a one-year limited warranty. Coverage depends on the product and proper use; misuse, spills and damage caused by incorrect placement or incompatible oils may not be covered. Contact us with your order information for assistance.
Homes, pets & businesses
Can I use fragrance around children or pets?
Use fragrance products only as directed, keep concentrated oil and devices out of reach, prevent spills and maintain appropriate ventilation. Individual sensitivities vary; reduce or stop use if discomfort occurs and consult an appropriate healthcare or veterinary professional with specific concerns.
Can Maison Scents help scent a hotel, store or office?
Yes. Maison Scents offers commercial scenting for hotels, retail spaces, dealerships, offices and other properties. Share the approximate square footage, ceiling height, layout and number of HVAC zones so we can recommend the right starting point.
