GENERAL QUESTIONS
Yes. All our scents are IFRA and RIFM compliant, meaning they adhere to the highest safety standards in the industry. All Hotel Scents scents are Paraben-free, vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free and petroleum free. They are produced in accordance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

A cold air diffuser is a waterless and heatless essential oil atomizing device that disperses an aroma into the air in a fine dry mist of nano-particles. This means the diffuser actively filters cold air from your space and then diffuses the oils into the air as an ultra-dry mist. Unlike heated or water-based diffusers, the result of our diffusion technology is a more powerful, pure fragrance. Dispersing scent with cold air is the safest and cleanest way to fill a room with an aroma. The reason behind this is that cold air does not dilute the scented oils, disperse other unneeded substances into the air, or leave a residue.

DIFFUSERS
A Cold Air Diffuser uses Cold Air Diffusion technology, the safest and most effective way to diffuse fragrance oils. Unlike other diffusers, Cold Air Diffusers require no heat or water to disperse the scent into the air in a dry mist of nanoparticles. Essential oils are very delicate and volatile. When heated, their therapeutic benefits are destroyed. Furthermore, scents that are diffused through methods involving heat or water do not disperse well in large areas nor does their scent last long.
Hotel Scents offers two types of Cold Air Technology diffusers. Our portable line of diffusers can work in any environment and are plugged into an outlet. These diffusers do not require central A/C. Our HVAC units do require a central A/C system to operate and disperse scent through your home or business’s ducts.
No. Hotel Scents Diffusers can also be used with the fan or heat settings in the central A/C system. Warm air will give you a slightly stronger fragrance experience, so we recommend you turn the intensity down
Cold air diffusion is the latest technology in the scenting industry. It is the safest and most effective way to diffuse fragrance oils. It works by using high amounts of cold filtered air combined with air pressure to diffuse oils into a dry mist of nano particles. This cold air diffusion technology is used in all Hotel Scents diffusing systems and ensures consistent and subtle scenting
Suggested scenting intensity should be between 25-35%. For a lighter intensity, we recommend 10-15%, and for a stronger intensity we recommend 60%.
A standalone diffuser is plugged in and works anywhere there is an electrical outlet. An HVAC unit connects to your HVAC system and provides consistent and even coverage throughout a home or building. Our standalone units include the Mini360, DaVinci360 and our hybrid unit, the VanGogh360. The VanGogh360 can be used as stand-alone or be connected to your HVAC system. Our most powerful diffuser, the Museum360 can only be connected to the HVAC system and scents larger spaces.
This is an individual choice. Hotel Scents recommends that you put your diffuser in the primary area of your home. If you are scenting using one of our stand-alone diffusers, place it where you wish to experience scent the most. If you are using one of our connected HVAC diffusers, scenting will be evenly dispersed throughout the entire area the HVAC covers.
HVAC scenting works through Cold Air Diffusion technology. Cold Air Diffusion technology breaks down the fragrance oils into a dry mist of nanoparticles with the use of cold, filtered air. This dry fragrance mist is released into the HVAC ducts sending a consistent and even scent experience into the desired areas.
There is no service or maintenance needed for the diffusers. The only requirement is to change the fragrance canister once it is empty. Typically, this is once a month.
No. When the oil canister is inside the unit, they must always be in their upright position to prevent oil from damaging the inner mechanics of the unit.
For the HVAC diffuser to work, the fan must always be on. During cool weather, turn the fan of your central A/C unit to the ON position (As opposed to AUTO) to ensure the fragrance circulates throughout your home or business.
