①

A professionally developed fragrance

Hotel chains commission fragrance houses to develop a signature fragrance that reflects the brand identity of their properties. The scent character is intentional: designed to be immediately recognisable and consistent across every property worldwide.

②

Cold air diffusion delivery

The fragrance oil is loaded into cold air diffusion machines positioned throughout the lobby and common areas. The machines atomise the oil into a dry micro-mist that distributes evenly across the entire space. No water, no heat, no visible mist.

③

Timed interval scheduling

Hotel scent machines run on timed intervals, not continuously. A typical hotel setup runs the machine for 15 to 30 seconds, then off for 60 to 120 seconds, cycling throughout the day. This creates a consistent ambient fragrance level without the scent building to an overpowering concentration.

④

Strategic placement

Hotel scent machines are positioned at mid-height in the lobby, facing into the open space. This allows the dry micro-particles to distribute naturally across the full coverage area. For the most even distribution, avoid floor-level placement or positioning directly against walls.

Commercial hotel systems

Used in hotel lobbies and large commercial spaces

Designed to cover thousands of square metres across an entire hotel property. Often connected to HVAC systems for whole-building distribution. Large oil capacity requiring less frequent refilling. Typically leased or installed commercially, not sold to individual consumers. Price points well beyond the residential market.

Home scent machines

Designed for Australian residential spaces

Same cold air diffusion technology scaled for residential use. Coverage of up to 100 square metres from a single unit: sufficient for most Australian open-plan homes. Bluetooth app and remote scheduling. Accessible residential price points. Compatible with hotel-inspired fragrance oils. Available to buy online with delivery across Australia.

1

Choose your fragrance oil

Select a hotel-inspired fragrance oil from the Aromawave collection. If this is your first time, start with a clean-fresh profile such as Grand Lobby (White Tea, Fig, Musk) or Dream Rise (Amber, Musk, White Tea). These two profiles are the most broadly appealing and suit any room and any time of day in an Australian home.

2

Position at mid-height facing into open space

Place the scent machine at approximately 90 to 120cm above the floor, facing into the open area of the room. In Australian open-plan living areas, position the machine centrally where it can distribute across the full space. In an entrance hall, face toward the interior of the home so the fragrance meets you as you walk in.

3

Start at intensity level 1

When starting a new fragrance in any room, always begin at the lowest intensity setting. The fragrance builds in the space over the first 24 hours. What feels subtle on day one will settle at the correct ambient level by day two. Only adjust upward if needed after a full 24 hours.

4

Set a Bluetooth schedule

Use the Aromawave Bluetooth app to schedule the machine. A hotel-style setup runs the device for 15 to 20 seconds on, then 60 to 90 seconds off, cycling throughout the day. Schedule it to start 20 minutes before you typically arrive home so the entrance hall is already fragrant when you walk in.

5

Maintain monthly

Clean the atomiser nozzle with isopropyl alcohol once a month, or whenever switching between different fragrance oils. This keeps the atomiser performing at its best and prevents any residue from previous oils affecting the fragrance character of the new one.
