Frequently Asked Questions About Scentsy Essential Oil Diffusers
How does it work?
The Scentsy Diffuser is an ultrasonic nebulising diffuser. Essentially, a small ceramic disk in the water reservoir – called a nebuliser – vibrates at high frequencies to break the water and oil down into fine microscopic particles that are dispersed into the air.
Does it get hot? No. The Scentsy Diffuser uses cold-mist technology to disperse fragrance. It contains no heating element.
Does the Scentsy Diffuser come with any diffuser oils? No; all diffuser oils must be purchased separately.
How much oil and water should I use? Add water to the reservoir fill line (about 120 mL). We recommend starting with 4-5 drops of oil to start and adding more or less to suit your personal preferences and the size of your space.
Can I use other company’s oils with it? Yes. Though Scentsy Oils have been specifically formulated for an optimal fragrance experience, using other companies’ oils will not harm the Scentsy Diffuser or void the warranty.
Should I use distilled water? The Scentsy Diffuser is the most advanced diffuser on the market; you do not need to use distilled water. We recommend using clean, cool tap water. However, customers with hard water or customers who live in areas with high mineral concentration in their water supply may choose to use distilled water to prevent scaling.
Is the Scentsy Diffuser protected by a warranty? Yes. Scentsy diffusers are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the product. Any diffuser found to be defective or damaged under normal use and care will be replaced with the same, or comparable, product at Scentsy’s discretion. We encourage you and your customers to compare our warranty with other diffusers; you’ll find ours is the most generous warranty on the market.
Why should my customers choose the Scentsy Diffuser? The Scentsy Diffuser uses the world’s most advanced ultrasonic nebuliser to disperse fragrance. Scentsy offers a limited lifetime warranty.

We encourage you and your customers to compare the Scentsy Diffuser with other diffusers; we’re confident you’ll find Scentsy offers the most features, the most advanced technology and the most attractive diffusers on the market.
Will it damage my hardwood floors, walls, clothes, furniture or ceilings? Yes if you not use the Scentsy Diffuser in an area where the mist contacts furniture, bedding, walls, curtains, ceilings or other objects. If the mist cant touch it there will be no damage and the mist only rises 5 inches from the difusser.
How long does it take to work? You’ll notice fragrance almost instantly when you use the Scentsy Diffuser. This also allows you to easily change out the water and oil for a completely different fragrance experience as often as you wish.
What are the benefits of using a Scentsy Diffuser? There are many benefits to using a Scentsy Diffuser. First, because the diffuser uses cold-mist technology, the fragrance character remains consistent throughout the fragrance experience. Second, the diffuser offers high, low and intermittent diffuser modes, giving you more control over the intensity and longevity of your fragrance experience. Third, the diffuser offers 16 different light modes, allowing you to change your lighting to complement your décor or mood. Fourth, you can customise your fragrance experience by adding more or less oil, or combining oils.
Does the Scentsy Diffuser system have advantages over Scentsy warmers and wax? Both systems deliver exceptional fragrance experiences and some customers may prefer one system over the other. Because they are such different experiences, we encourage you to highlight the benefits of Scentsy’s diffusers and warmers over competing products rather than compare our systems to each other.
What are the different light options? The Scentsy Diffuser features 16 elegant light options to suit your mood. There are two light modes, white and colour. The white mode features high, low and candle-flicker options. The colour mode features a continuous cycle of 12 colours (fuchsia, red, orange, yellow, lime, green, aquamarine, white, azure, blue, lavender, and purple), or hold the light button for 1.5 seconds and set the diffuser on one colour to complement your mood, décor or oil. The Scentsy Diffuser may also be used with no light.
What if it runs out of water? The diffuser will automatically shut off when it runs out of water.
