How Long Does Aroma360 Last?
What is Aroma360?
Aroma360 is a commercial scent delivery system designed to infuse spaces with customized fragrances. It consists of programmable scent diffusion machines connected to fragrance cartridges and oil vials. The scent machines use vibration or airflow to disperse essential oils and aroma chemicals into targeted spaces.
The Aroma360 system allows users to automate and control scenting schedules for commercial settings such as hotels, casinos, restaurants, retail stores, medical facilities, and corporate offices. It provides consistent, uniform scenting for large indoor areas up to 25,000 square feet. Aroma360 can be used to promote branding through signature scents, influence customer behavior, or simply make spaces more inviting with pleasant fragrances.
The system includes a variety of equipment options to meet the needs of different spaces. Key components are the scent diffusers, cartridge system for aroma oils, programmable controls and timers, and air filtration units. Custom scent cartridges are formulated by the company using essential oils, fragrance oils, and aroma chemicals. The cartridges click into the diffuser machines which are engineered for specialized scent diffusion.
Overall, Aroma360 provides automated, customizable scent experiences for commercial settings. The programmable system allows businesses to add ambient scenting that aligns with their brand image and environment goals.
How Aroma360 Works
The Aroma360 uses an innovative scent diffusion method to distribute fragrances evenly throughout your home. It relies on a process called micro-nebulization, which converts the essential oils and water mixture into a dry airborne mist.
This ultra-fine mist is then blown out gently by a fan and carried through the air vents and ducts already built into your home’s HVAC system. The mist is perfectly sized to be picked up by the airflow and spread to every room. As people move between rooms, their motion also helps circulate and spread the scent.
Unlike candles or reed diffusers that only scent the immediate area, the Aroma360 capitalizes on your existing HVAC infrastructure to disperse fragrances uniformly. The mist is also odorless and invisible, so you simply enjoy the scent without seeing any visible mist.
This allows the Aroma360 to keep your entire home or office smelling fresh continuously. The scents envelope each space evenly, rather than being concentrated in just a few rooms.
Factors That Impact Scent Duration
The duration a scent lasts when diffused through an Aroma360 depends on several different factors including room size, temperature, humidity, air circulation, and fragrance oil strength.
Larger rooms will require more scent diffusion to achieve the same fragrance intensity as a smaller room. In small rooms of 100-200 square feet, the oils may last 5-7 days, while in larger rooms of 500-1000+ square feet, the scent duration may be closer to 2-3 days.
Cooler temperatures and lower humidity will help fragrances last longer. The heat and moisture in humid environments can cause the essential oils to evaporate more quickly. Likewise, good air circulation from HVAC systems or fans will disperse the scent effectively through the space, but also shorten its duration.
The strength and quality of the fragrance oil also impacts longevity. More concentrated oils with pure ingredients will have greater intensity and last longer. Oils with higher amounts of synthetic filler ingredients tend to have weaker scent throw and fade faster.
Average Scent Duration
The average scent duration for Aroma360 products depends on the format used. Here’s a look at typical timeframes:
Aroma360 oils – These pure essential oils provide the shortest scent duration, typically 2-4 hours on average. Being concentrated oils, the aroma is intense at first but fades most quickly.
Aroma360 gels – The viscous formula extends diffusion time, providing scent for 4-6 hours on average. The scent is slightly more moderate than the oils.
Aroma360 cartridges – These cartridges contain a proprietary scent formula and diffusion material. They deliver an average scent duration of 4-8 weeks when used with Aroma360 diffusers. The cartridges provide a consistent scent experience over time.
Aroma360 reeds/fragrance sachets – These paper-based diffusers emit aroma for 2-4 weeks on average depending on the size. They provide light to medium scent strength.
Overall, Aroma360 cartridges tend to provide the longest lasting scent experience for most home users. The oils and gels allow for more versatility and short-term scenting.
Maximizing Scent Life
There are several tips and tricks you can use to extend the life of your Aroma360’s scents:
Regular Maintenance
Be sure to perform regular maintenance like cleaning the cartridge contacts and replacing filters. Dust, debris and buildup on the hardware can reduce airflow and diffusion efficiency. Follow the cleaning instructions in your Aroma360’s user manual.
Proper Cartridge Storage
When cartridges are not in use, be sure to clip them closed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Heat and sunlight can cause the essential oils to degrade faster.
Monthly Cartridge Replacement
Plan on replacing cartridges about once a month for optimal performance. Older cartridges have less oil saturation so scenting power diminishes over time.
Occasional Fan Speed Changes
Periodically changing the fan speed can help oils diffuse more evenly and fully saturate the pads. This helps prolong the cartridge’s scent life span.
Room Temperature Control
Keeping room temperature relatively cool will prevent the oils from diffusing too quickly. Proper HVAC management helps oil last longer.
Regular Filter Cleaning/Replacement
Dirty air filters reduce airflow and performance. Follow the manufacturer’s filter replacement recommendations, or clean filters at least every 2-3 months.
Replacing Cartridges and Oils
For most Aroma360 units, you’ll need to replace the scent cartridges and oils every 30-60 days depending on usage frequency and intensity. There are a few indicators that it’s time to change them out:
- The scent is no longer dispersing or noticeable.
- The cartridge seems empty when shaken or removed.
- You start noticing the scent dispenser emitting air but no fragrance.
- The Aroma360 unit displays a “Replace Cartridge” alert or LED light.
- It’s been over 2 months since installing the current cartridge.
Replacing cartridges regularly is key to ensuring the system keeps emitting fragrance and providing scent benefits. If you wait too long, the scent may completely run out before swapping cartridges. For optimal performance, change cartridges every 1-2 months.
Using Automated Controls
Aroma360 diffusers have built-in automated controls that allow you to program when and how long the unit diffuses fragrance. Using these programmable settings can help maximize scent life by diffusing only when needed.
The most efficient way to use Aroma360 is to program it to diffuse fragrance during peak occupancy hours. For example, in an office setting, you may want to set the diffuser to come on 30 minutes before employees arrive and turn off 30 minutes after they leave. This avoids over-diffusing when no one is around to experience the fragrance.
Appropriate on/off cycles are also important. Most experts recommend diffusing fragrances in 30-60 minute intervals, followed by a 30-60 minute break before the next diffusion period. This intermittent diffusion helps prevent olfactory fatigue or nose blindness. The breaks allow your sense of smell to reset and maximize how long you’ll notice the fragrance each time the diffuser turns on again.
By using Aroma360’s built-in timers and custom scheduling options, you can make sure your diffuser runs only when needed at the ideal on/off cycles. This careful programming will extend the life of your cartridges and oils compared to running your unit continuously.
Scent Duration by Room Size
The size of the space you are diffusing a scent in plays a significant role in determining how long the aroma will last. Smaller rooms allow the fragrance oil to more thoroughly permeate the air and scent molecules have less area to disperse, resulting in longer lasting scents.
For small rooms under 400 square feet, Aroma360’s cartridges can provide ambiance for 4-6 weeks on average. The aroma tends to last at full strength for 2-3 weeks, then gradually dissipates over the remaining weeks.
In medium sized rooms of 400-1000 square feet, expect approximately 2-4 weeks of scent duration. The oils will be most intense for the first 1-2 weeks before mellowing out.
For large rooms over 1000 square feet, Aroma360 cartridges typically last 1-3 weeks. The scent is often strongest in the first few days then becomes lighter over the following weeks.
Depending on the size of the space you are diffusing in, it’s recommended to use a unit with at least the following capacity:
- Small rooms: 100-250 ml
- Medium rooms: 250-400 ml
- Large rooms: 400+ ml
Larger capacity units with bigger cartridges can disperse scent more thoroughly throughout big rooms. Make sure your Aroma360 device is suited for the square footage you need to fragrance.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you notice your Aroma360 scent fading faster than expected, there are a few common issues that may be reducing the scent life:
Filter Needs Replacing
The filter inside the Aroma360 unit needs to be replaced every 3-4 months for optimal performance. A dirty filter prevents the fragrance from effectively dispersing in your home.
Cartridge is Empty
Make sure to check the cartridge level and replace it once empty. Trying to use an empty cartridge will result in weak or no scent.
Unit Malfunction
In rare cases, a malfunctioning unit fan or clogged oil lines can impact scent dispersal. Contact Aroma360 customer support if you suspect a defect.
Oils Evaporated
Essential oils evaporate quickly at high temperatures. Make sure your Aroma360 unit isn’t placed near a heat source causing the oils to evaporate prematurely.
If your Aroma360 scent is still fading too fast after addressing those common issues, contact Aroma360 support for additional troubleshooting.
Summary
The typical scent duration of Aroma360’s diffusers ranges from 2-4 weeks on average. This can vary based on several key factors. Larger rooms, frequent use, and higher fan speeds tend to reduce scent life, while smaller spaces, intermittent use, and lower speeds extend it. Properly maintaining the diffuser is crucial as well – replacing cartridges and oils regularly per the manufacturer’s recommendations, and utilizing timed or motion-sensing settings to conserve oils when possible.
With the right maintenance and usage habits, Aroma360 owners can expect their diffusers to continue providing lovely scents for 1-2 months at a time. Let the oil level be your guide – once the reservoir runs low or the aroma fades, it’s time for fresh oil and a new cartridge. Following the tips in this guide will help maximize scent life and keep your Aroma360 working its best for years of continuous aromatherapy.
