There are a few reasons why you may not be able to smell your oils:
- There aren’t enough essential oils in your tank or the oil being diffused isn’t a very strong oil. Lighter oils such as lemon, lime, and orange dissipate quickly and will not “smell” for very long. We recommend using more oil or combining with a stronger scent such as peppermint or geranium. We have also noted that higher-quality oils tend to have a more potent aroma so you may want to experiment with types and brands of oils.
- The room is too large for the size or type of diffuser.
- You may be experiencing olfactory fatigue, which is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound. While your nose may have “gotten used to” the aroma of the oil you’re diffusing, you will still be receiving any of that oil’s health/therapeutic benefits.
