The Scent Is Too Strong

If the diffuser is misting heavily or the scent feels overwhelming in your space, try the following adjustments.

Lower the intensity

Your diffuser has two buttons — the top is power, and the bottom controls intensity. Each press of the bottom button steps the intensity up by one level. The number of lit LEDs on the unit shows your current setting.

The recommended starting point is 2 lights (40%). If you're currently higher than that, press the bottom button three times to cycle down to a lower level, then give it a day before adjusting again. Higher isn't always better, it can quickly saturate a smaller room.

Move the diffuser

Move to a more open area or a room with higher ceilings. This gives the scent more space to circulate evenly.

Try a larger room

The Aura Scent Diffuser is designed for spaces of 650 square feet or more.
