Product Information

Full details

This Mad & Len Totem is for those seeking a sophisticated and natural home fragrance experience. Its key benefit is providing a long-lasting, intoxicating scent derived from natural lava rocks and infused with rich 'Ambre Nobile' fragrance. A potential caveat is that its subtle diffusion may not be suitable for very large spaces requiring strong scent throw.

FAQs

How long does the scent typically last?

The longevity of the scent depends on the environment (temperature, airflow) and the amount of fragrance oil used. With regular re-infusion, the Totem can provide a continuous fragrance experience.

What type of fragrance oil should I use?

It is best to use fragrance oils specifically designed for diffusers and recommended by Mad & Len. Using other types of oils may damage the lava rocks or vessel.

How often should I re-infuse the lava rocks?

Re-infusion frequency varies. Typically, when the scent intensity decreases noticeably, adding a few drops of fragrance oil to the rocks will refresh the aroma.

Can I use different scent oils in the same Totem?

While possible, it's recommended to stick to one scent profile to avoid fragrance blending that might not be desirable. If you wish to change scents, ensure the rocks are thoroughly aired out or replaced.

Is the metal vessel prone to rust?

The vessel is made from brushed metal designed for indoor use. It is not typically prone to rust under normal conditions but should be kept dry and away from excessive moisture.

What are the dimensions of the Totem?

Dimensions are specific to each handmade piece but generally designed to be compact for tabletop display. Please refer to product specifications for exact measurements.

Troubleshooting

No scent is being diffused

Ensure the lava rocks are properly placed within the vessel and have been recently infused with fragrance oil. Allow up to 24 hours for the scent to fully permeate the rocks after infusion.

Scent is too weak

The Totem is designed for subtle diffusion. For stronger scent, consider placing it in a smaller room or using more fragrance oil during re-infusion. Ensure there are no strong competing odors in the space.

Metal vessel appears dull or tarnished

Gently wipe the vessel with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor tarnish, a small amount of metal polish specifically designed for brushed finishes can be used sparingly, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Fragrance oil is not absorbing into the rocks

Ensure the lava rocks are porous and clean. If they have been saturated previously or are coated with dust, they may not absorb new oil effectively. Try gently cleaning the rocks with a dry brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the handmade metal vessel is clean and dry.
  2. If the lava rocks are dry, carefully place them inside the vessel.
  3. If the product requires an initial scent infusion, follow the specific instructions provided with your purchase, typically involving applying a few drops of the corresponding 'Ambre Nobile' scent oil to the lava rocks.

Compatibility:

  • This product is designed for home fragrance diffusion.
  • It is compatible with Mad & Len's own range of scent oils for re-infusion.
  • Not intended for use with essential oils not specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as they may damage the rocks or vessel.

Care:

  • Dust the metal vessel gently with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the brushed metal finish.
  • If the scent diminishes, re-infuse the lava rocks with a suitable fragrance oil according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
  • Keep away from direct heat sources or prolonged direct sunlight, which could affect the scent diffusion and the vessel's integrity.
