Why should fragrance always be introduced at a delicate level?Updated 8 hours ago

Fragrance works best as a subtle layer in your space. Start so light it's barely noticeable, leave it for a few days, then step it up every 2 to 3 days until it feels right. Starting strong can overwhelm the senses and make the scent harder to enjoy.

What changes how strong a scent feels

  • Airflow: open windows and doors carry scent away, so you may need a higher setting.
  • Room size: larger rooms need more output for the same feel.
  • Scent family: citrus notes are naturally light, while woody and fig scents are stronger. It can take the essence of 20 lemons to match one fig.
  • Personal taste: some people love a bold scent, others prefer barely-there.

Intensity settings in the kirri app

  • Delicate: 6 seconds on, 120 seconds off. Start here.
  • Subtle: 12 seconds on, 120 seconds off.
  • Radiant: 18 seconds on, 120 seconds off.
  • Intense: 24 seconds on, 120 seconds off.

You can also set a custom intensity in the app. Why we recommend running low through the day: why your diffuser runs all day on low.

Download the kirri app: Apple App Store or Google Play
