a few drops of fragrance oil in an oil burner or diffuser is all it takes to scent a room. if you've been searching for how many drops of essential oil to put in a diffuser, the same guide works for kirri fragrance oils.
how many drops to use
kirri micro oil (15ml) comes with a dropper lid made for this. the right number depends on the room, the oil and what you like.
- start with 3 to 5 drops: in the water dish of an oil burner, or the water tank of a water-based diffuser
- small rooms: bedrooms and bathrooms may need fewer drops; larger living spaces a few more
- go slowly: kirri oils are 100% pure oil, so add a drop or two at a time rather than over-scenting the room
- top up the water: as it evaporates
prefer no drops at all? the waterless kirri micro, element, beacon and pillar diffusers skip them. the oil bottle goes straight in and you set the intensity in the kirri app.
choosing a scent for the moment
for a fresh, bright feel, look for citrus notes. bondi has mandarin, watery ozone and green cardamom, with black pepper and musk.
for something softer at the end of the day, try zen garden: peony and water fruits, lotus and iris, on a base of driftwood and musk. you can also try a couple of drops each of two scents to make a blend of your own.
tips for spreading the scent
- airflow: a well-ventilated room lets the scent spread evenly. opening a window or door stops it feeling stale
- placement: a central spot on a stable, heat-safe surface, away from curtains and the edge of benches
- cleaning: clean the burner dish or diffuser tank regularly, following the manufacturer's instructions
- safety: never leave a lit burner unattended or let the dish run dry. keep oils and burners away from children and pets
kirri fragrance oils are for scenting the air only, not for skin or ingestion, so always check the label.
try a few scents, adjust the drops, and you'll soon find what suits each room. browse kirri fragrance oils to start.
