Product Information
Full details
The Diptyque Hourglass Diffuser in Mimosa is designed for interior design enthusiasts and fragrance lovers who appreciate slow, intentional home scenting. Its primary benefit is the unique, gravity-fed diffusion process that releases delicate honeyed notes without the need for electricity or heat, creating a serene environment in rooms up to 20 square meters. A key caveat to consider is that the fragrance intensity is subtle and gentle, making it better suited for small-to-medium spaces rather than large, open-concept floor plans.

FAQs
How long does one refill last?
With standard use of four flips per day, the fragrance typically lasts for approximately two and a half months.
Can I use the diffuser in a bathroom?
Yes, it is suitable for a bathroom, provided the room size is under 20 square meters and the device is kept away from direct water contact.
Does this diffuser require heat to work?
No, it uses a gravity-based osmotic process to diffuse the scent, meaning it does not require electricity, heat, or batteries.
Is the fragrance refillable?
The hourglass system is designed as a singular, elegant unit; please refer to your specific retailer regarding the availability of official refill cartridges for the Mimosa scent.
What should I do if I get the fragrance oil on my hands?
Wash the affected area immediately with soap and warm water to prevent skin irritation.
Troubleshooting
The fragrance seems too faint in the room.
Ensure the device is placed in a spot with moderate air circulation. Check that you have completed a full flip to fully saturate the wick.
The device is leaking or dripping.
Check that the glass components are securely fastened and that you are flipping the device in one quick, continuous motion rather than tilting it slowly.
The scent has stopped diffusing.
Verify if the fragrance reservoir is empty. If it is empty, the diffuser has reached the end of its typical two-and-a-half-month lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: remove the diffuser from the packaging and inspect the glass sections for any potential cracks. To activate, perform a single, smooth rotation of the device so that the upper chamber drains into the lower section, soaking the internal wick. Always place the unit on a flat, stable surface to prevent accidental tipping. Maintenance is minimal; keep the glass clean with a soft, dry cloth to preserve its clarity. Avoid placing the diffuser in direct, intense sunlight or near extreme heat sources, as high temperatures may affect the viscosity of the fragrance oil and the rate of diffusion.
