Most people find one kirri scent they love and then stall on what to try next. This guide is here to help. For each of our popular scents we've picked two or three others that share key notes, so the next bottle feels familiar without being the same thing again.
A tip before you start: a 50ml room spray or a 15ml oil in an Element diffuser is an easy way to test a new scent. Once you know you love it, move up to a reed diffuser or a 100ml Aura oil.

How to test a new scent before you commit
- Give it time: scent it in one room, then come back in an hour or two. The top notes fade within minutes; the heart and base notes are what you'll live with
- Test where you'll use it: room size, airflow and existing smells all change how a scent comes across
- Try a few at once: the discovery kit has a 2ml sample of each iconic scent. Our samples guide explains how to test them
- Mind the strength: bondi is our lightest at 1/5 and fig tree our strongest at 5/5. See the scent strength guide
Choosing for someone else? Look at the perfume, candles or grooming products they already use, and match the family. Fragrance families explained shows where each scent sits.
Choosing a format for your next scent
- Room spray (50ml): the easiest way to try a scent before you commit. Browse room sprays.
- Reed diffuser (200ml): no flame and no power, and typically lasts 1 to 6 months. Browse reed diffusers.
- Element with a 15ml oil: typically 1 to 3 months per bottle, with intensity set in the kirri app.
- Beacon or Pillar with a 100ml Aura oil: typically 6 to 12 months per bottle, for larger or open-plan rooms. Browse all oils.
