How to choose a professional fragrance diffuser

Professional fragrance diffusers offer many advantages, but there are several types to choose from. Users may need more information about the specific characteristics of each system before selecting one. Our advice and recommendations will steer clients toward the professional fragrance diffuser that best suits their needs.

Companies use professional fragrance diffusers to create a scented atmosphere that makes any space more welcoming. Visitors perceive the fragrance the minute they walk through the door, increasing the chances that they will leave with a generally favorable impression of the space.

Used at points of sale, room fragrances become a key element of sensory marketing strategies designed to improve the client experience and allow brands to be remembered by consumers. More and more companies are seeing that an olfactory identity can allow them to stand out from other brands by leveraging the powerful emotions the sense of smell can trigger. A room fragrance can be a gateway to the discovery of a new universe, by telling a story and drawing attention to the products showcased by a brand eager to create a unique experience.

In a corporate setting, diffusing a scent into offices helps create an atmosphere that is dynamic while increasing the wellbeing of employees and guests. The benefits in terms of productivity are real. Some scents used with professional fragrance diffusers can even improve moods and boost motivation. Employees will also feel less stress on the job and have a more favorable impression of their workplace. Not to mention that fragrances can help hide unpleasant odors.

Certain factors must nonetheless be taken into account for fragrance diffusion to be successful. Selecting the right diffuser is key. Below are some things to keep in mind.

Depending on the location and type of use desired, it is important to look ahead of time at potential technical constraints. Using the criteria below as a guide, you can choose a diffuser that will allow you to fill any space with just the right amount of fragrance.
The criteria to be considered in selecting a diffuser include:

• The size of the space to be scented. A coverage area is indicated for each diffuser in square meters. Volume may potentially be expressed in cubic meters. A diffuser should ideally be selected based on the size of the space in which it will be used.
• The exposure rate (applies only to diffusion via nebulization). This rate is calculated based on the following data: first, the air exchange rate, which corresponds to the estimated number of times per day all the air in the space is replaced. It will depend on the HVAC system as well as openings such as doors and windows; second, the length of exposure, which represents the average time of exposure per day to the scent diffused; and third, the volume of the space scented.
• Settings and programming: These features allow you to tailor your use of the fragrance diffuser to your specific needs.
• Design and profile: Depending on the professional setting where the diffuser will be used, there are models that can blend perfectly into any décor with designs that are attractive but always discreet.
• Ease of use and maintenance: It is always a good idea to ask about user-friendliness and maintenance requirements ahead of time, since proper use and upkeep are key to maximizing the lifespan of the equipment.
• Budget and economic factors: This question will inevitably come up. How much should a company invest in a fragrance diffusion system? The answer will depend on the technology chosen and the coverage area desired.

Working from the criteria above, our technical teams will do an assessment and recommend the best type of diffuser for your intended use. Every project requires personalized guidance on how to place one or more diffusers as strategically as possible to guarantee optimal efficiency and avoid unexpected installation challenges.
Users are also strongly encouraged to carefully follow instructions when selecting settings for the diffuser (intensity and length of diffusion) to remain within the recommended exposure rate. The latter guarantees the absence of risk of olfactory saturation for employees and guests.
If a liquid diffuser is being used, maintenance and upkeep guidelines should always be followed to prevent a less-than-optimal experience for employees and guests. Indeed, if the diffuser pump is not cleaned, an after-scent may remain when the fragrance is changed, considerably reducing the quality of the fragrance diffused.
One thing is certain: If these tips and recommendations are followed, a professional fragrance diffuser is the perfect way to create a very pleasant environment in a retail store, an office space, or during an event.
