INDIA SCENTING BUYER GUIDE
Essential Oil Diffuser vs Fragrance Oil Diffuser
Choose the diffuser and approved formulation as a pair. Essential oil and fragrance oil describe liquids, not universal machine compatibility; neither label guarantees safety, coverage or suitability for every business.

Separate scent preference from compatibility
A fragrance you like may not be approved for the machine. Ask for the exact oil-model pairing, dilution rules if applicable and supplied handling instructions.
Avoid category assumptions
Do not assume that natural means appropriate for all occupants or that synthetic means unsuitable. This guide makes no hypoallergenic, therapeutic or health claim for either category.
Check the intended application
Ambient machine oil, reed liquid, room spray and body perfume are different uses. Approval for one application does not establish another. Confirm refill details before ordering.
Enquire about HUME pairing
HUME’s commercial models require approved fragrance oil. Ask which formula is supplied and what documentation is available. Do not infer compatibility with an essential oil purchased elsewhere.
