We design them with powerful yet silent high-quality superior motor parts unlike the mass in the market where most parts used are either silent but not powerful or powerful but noisy. They are also exclusive designs that are one-of-a-kind in Singapore. We recommend you to feel it to experience the difference!
Our diffuser uses cold air nebulising technology, making it waterless, heatless, and flameless. This unique method diffuses 100% pure essential oils into a mist, ensuring that you only get pure oils without dilution, or deterioration due to heat, or environmental factors such as smoke or toxins in the air you breathe.

This unique method diffuses 100% pure essential oils into a mist, ensuring that you only get pure oils without dilution, or deterioration due to heat, or environmental factors such as smoke or toxins in the air you breathe.
No water or carrier oils should be added to the device. FLO Diffusers are nebulising diffusers which uses cold air pressure to diffuse fluid into mist. Water and carrier oil molecules will be too heavy for diffusion.
A 30-60mins session is typically the recommended duration for an optimal therapeutic window for using such waterless diffusers, also known as nebulisers. Since it is waterless, the undiluted scent lingers in the air and a short session is all you need.
Unlike common water-based or reed diffusers, nebulisers are best used in multiple short sessions rather than long sessions throughout the day or night. They are ideal if you want to experience better therapeutic benefits from essential oils and a more impactful scenting ability.
FLO Diffuser Home is approximately 3x stronger than Diffuser Go. It is perfect for scenting large spaces such as living rooms or bedrooms and for easily switching between scents. However, if you need to scent a smaller space without a power source such as a car or a bathroom, and prefer to use just one scent throughout, we recommend trying FLO Diffuser Go which is wireless.
Both diffusers are waterless, heatless and flameless.
FLO Diffuser Home
Common questions the features, cleaning and troubleshoot.
Features & Technical Specifications
You can find the step by step video and diagram set up manual guide here.
1. Fix the glass to the diffuser base.
2. Add around 20-30 drops of essential oils for a 30-60 minutes recommended session.
3. Plug in power source.
4. Turn the dial to power on!
If the oil depletes before the diffusing function automatically stops after 2 hours, there is no harm to the diffuser as it will just continue diffusing air. The Diffuser Home has an auto cut-off timer for the diffusing function fixed at 2 hours.
You can add the oil as you wish for a short or longer session. 5-10 drops for a 10-15mins session before sleep, or 20-30 drops for a recommended optimal 30-60mins at the lowest intensity. Since it is waterless, the undiluted scent lingers in the air and a short session is all you need.
The oil used can be a little more than the common water diffusers and recommended duration for each use is shorter. Unlike common water-based or reed diffusers, nebulisers are best used in multiple short sessions rather than long sessions throughout the day or night. They are ideal if you want to experience better therapeutic benefits from essential oils and a more impactful scenting ability.
Do note to not overfill the glass chamber with essential oil beyond the tip of the microtubes. Keep the oil level at least 0.5cm below the tip of the microtubes.
Based on the recommended 20-30 drops per use for a optimal session of 30-60mins , 10ml can last around 10 times.
The Diffuser Home can effectively scent up to 1,000sqft. Even with the use of a fan or with open windows, it will still be able to scent your space by tuning it up to higher diffusing intensities if required.
There is no functional difference between the shapes of the diffusers, they are mainly aesthetic preferences!
They are however of different sizes. You may like to consider how well the glass sits on the palm of your hand when holding it, or the ease of washing when cleaning the glass. Also, the misting within a glass chamber may appear less intense in a larger shape like Pyramid compared to smaller shapes like Raindrop or Sphere.
The LED light on our diffuser automatically rotates through 7 different colours for the wood diffuser base and just white colour LED light for our ceramic diffuser base. You can choose to turn the light on or off while the device is diffusing.
Our diffusers are compatible with 100% pure essential oils from any brand, but not with concentrates, burner oils, fragrance oils, massage oils, or water/oil-based essential oils as they may be too thick to diffuse.
Additionally, we recommend exercising caution when buying essential oils as some may not be authentic even if they are labelled as 100% pure. Some telltale signs could include uncommonly low prices or rare oils being sold at surprisingly low prices. If you’re unsure, feel free to let us know anytime, we'd be glad to help advise.
We recommend using 100% pure essential oils for optimal performance of the diffuser. However, we understand some customers may prefer to use their own fragrances or concentrates, which may or may not diffuse effectively depending on their density.

For all FLO Diffusers, a one-year warranty applies from the date of purchase. For more about the terms and conditions of warranty, visit here.
Cleaning for FLO Diffuser Home
You need not do so if you do not mind a little mixing of the different oils, the new oil will usually overpower the previous one!
We recommend using the Cleaning Solvent to wash the Glass Chamber when you pause usage for a week or longer. Although it's not necessary to clean daily if you use the diffuser regularly and cleaning when changing oil is optional, we recommend occasionally cleaning every 1-2 months to prevent clogging from oil remnants. Wash the diffuser after each use is recommended for thicker and heavier oils like Sandalwood and Patchouli.
Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
Water does not mix well with oil and hence cannot clean effectively. Use our cleaning solvent, or any alcohol such as IPA and ethanol, to first clean, and you may flush it with water afterwards if you'd like to give it a fuller rinse but it is optional. If a murky solution is produced when washed with water, it signifies that oil remnants have not been thoroughly cleaned off. Repeat the wash with the cleaning solvent until it is clear.
Alternatively, soak in soap water for half an hour or more.
Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
The plastic pipette that comes with the set is for situations where you might need to do targeted cleaning of the microtubes within the glass chamber, or for transfer of essential oil if required.
If you are having difficulty in cleaning, we could help with a service cleaning. Simply bring the device to our studio and we could run a clean on the spot. This would usually take about 15-30 minutes.
Troubleshoot for FLO Diffuser Home
1. Check motor
First, check if the motor of the wood base is still operating. If it is not, do contact us to assist you.
2. Check for oil leaks
Check for any leak of oil along the outside of the glass chamber when pouring the oil during use. If yes, the leak could have likely impacted the motor of the device. Simply bring the device to our studio and we will try our best to help you with a further check if it can be salvaged.
3. Check oil used
A) If the oil being diffused has thickened and not in a runny state, it is facing difficulty being drawn up for diffusion. This is a common occurrence for all 100% natural essential oils when exposed to air over time (that's also how you can be sure what you're using is 100% natural). You can either dilute the thickened oil with fresh essential oils of lighter density to make it more runny or wash the glass chamber.
B) If oil is runny but is a fragrance oil, it is not compatible with nebulisers. Glass nebulisers are compatible with 100% pure essential oils from any brand, but not with absolutes, concentrates, burner oils, fragrance oils, massage oils, or water/oil-based essential oils as they may be too thick to diffuse.
4. Clean
Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
Give the glass chamber a good rinse to clear off any dirt inside and try diffusing a small amount of cleaning solvent to see if misting is normal.
In the case it is still not misting, simply bring the device to our studio and we will be able to help you with a further check.
Yes absolutely. You don't have to repurchase the entire diffuser. There are glass chamber or glass cap replacements for purchase over here.
The sprinkler-like noise you may have noticed is normal and occurs when the oil is finishing up in the glass chamber. This is a common occurrence with nebulisers and nothing to worry about. In an absolutely quiet environment, the noise may be more noticeable, but it is not a cause for concern.
You can add more oil from the start so that the diffusion process takes longer to reach this final stage. Another option is to allow the oil to condense at the glass tip and drip back into the base of the glass chamber, which will take a few minutes. If more oil is present in the chamber, the sprinkler-like diffusion sound will not occur. We hope this explanation helps clarify any concerns you may have had.
FLO Diffuser Go
Common questions the features, cleaning and troubleshoot.
Features & Technical Specifications
You can find the set up manual here.
When the diffuser is actively diffusing, the top light at 15/60/120s will remain solid and not blink. The top light blinking at 15/60/120s indicates that the diffusion is paused within the interval and there will be no misting.
You can find here the diffusing intervals:
- 15S: Diffuses for 15 seconds and pauses for 2 minutes and 45 seconds.
- 60S: Diffuses for 60 seconds and pauses for 2 minutes.
- 120S: Diffuses for 120 seconds and pauses for 1 minute.
You can select 15s/60s/120s diffusing durations. At the lowest setting, a 10ml bottle lasts 66 hours, approximately a month with 2 hours of daily driving.
You can select 15s/60s/120s diffusion durations. A fully charged device can last 72 hours when used at the lowest diffusing duration.
The Diffuser Go can cover about 300 sqft, suitable for bathrooms or small bedrooms. It can still provide scent in larger spaces when placed nearby, but the aroma may not be as strong. Some customers prefer this in offices to avoid affecting colleagues further away.
If you’d be looking for a diffuser that can effectively scent up a whole living room, you may consider our Diffuser Home which is approximately 3x stronger in power.
Whenever there is oil attached within the diffuser, do keep it upright to prevent leakage of the oil into the motor through the side of the nozzle or the top of the nozzle.
The device is heat-resistant, but for preserving the therapeutic properties of the essential oils in the diffuser, it's advisable to minimise prolonged exposure to heat.
The Diffuser Go operates on a rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for a constant power supply once fully charged. While some customers choose to charge it while diffusing in the car, it's still advisable to unplug it once fully charged to maximise the lifespan of the rechargeable battery.
Any 5ml, 10ml, 15ml and 20ml standard essential oil glass bottle should work with Diffuser Go.
Our diffusers are compatible with 100% pure essential oils from any brand, but not with concentrates, burner oils, fragrance oils, massage oils, or water/oil-based essential oils as they may be too thick to diffuse.
Additionally, we recommend exercising caution when buying essential oils as some may not be authentic even if they are labelled as 100% pure. Some telltale signs could include uncommonly low prices or rare oils being sold at surprisingly low prices. If you’re unsure, feel free to let us know anytime, we'd be glad to help advise.

Cleaning for FLO Diffuser Go
You need not do so if you do not mind a little mixing of the different oils, the new oil will usually overpower the previous one!
We recommend cleaning the nozzle when you pause usage for a week or longer. While cleaning when changing oil is optional, we recommend occasionally washing every 1-2 months or when you find that the misting has visibly decreased even though there’s still oil.
Use FLO Cleaning Solvent, or cleaning alcohol like Ethanol or IPA to clean the nozzle and tube.
Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
1. Fill in an empty oil glass bottle to about one-third bottle with our cleaning solvent or regular cleaning alcohol works too.
2. Diffuse at the highest diffusing duration for around 10-15 mins. Check if misting is visible with the cleaning solvent.
3. If misting is not visible with cleaning solvent, do a deeper clean with the metal pin provided in the set. Check again if misting is now visible with cleaning solvent.
4. Dispose of the remaining cleaning solvent and put in your preferred 100% pure essential oil to start using again.
If you are having difficulty in cleaning, we could help with a service cleaning. Simply bring the device to our studio and we could run a clean on the spot. This would usually take about 15-30 minutes.
Troubleshoot for FLO Diffuser Go
First to check for all models
1. Check motor
Check if the motor is still operating. If it is not, simply bring the device to our studio and we will assist you.
2. Check if device was toppled and had oils leaked
If yes, the leak could have likely impacted the motor of the device. Simply bring the device to our studio and we will try our best to help you with a further check if it can be salvaged.
3. Check oil used
A) If the oil used is fragrance oil, concentrate, absolutes, oil-based oils, they may not diffuse effectively as it depends on their density. It could likely still diffuse, perhaps with lesser or no misting visible. Do a clean of the device first to check if misting is normal with the cleaning solvent. Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
In the case it is not misting with cleaning solvent, you may follow the steps below to do a further check based on the model you own.
B) If it is pure essential oil that is being diffused but has thickened and not in a runny state, it is facing difficulty being drawn up the straw tube for diffusion. This is a common occurrence for all 100% natural essential oils when exposed to air and heat over time (that's also how you can be sure what you're using is 100% natural). You can either switch to a new bottle of essential oil or dilute the thickened oil with fresh essential oils of lighter density to make it more runny.
If it doesn't the resolve the issue you're facing, you may follow the steps below to do a further check based on the model you own.
FLO Diffuser Go - Push-to-Open (Current)
1. Check silicon at the side of the nozzle
It is possible the silicon at the side of the nozzle got pushed flat in hence affecting the misting. When pulled out slightly such that it’s snugged against the wall of the nozzle compartment, it should resolve the issue.
2. Check straw tube
A crack in the straw tube at the end connecting to the nozzle can cause a pressure leak hence affecting the misting.
Change to another straw in the extra straw pack provided with the set. The pack can be found within the plastic bag together with the charging cable.
3. Check misting under direct light source
Misting will usually be more visible when placed directly under a light source. Different oils can result in varied mist intensity visible due to differences in oil densities. So long there is misting visible, the diffuser is working alright!
4. Check nozzle connector to straw
If the straw tube connector (white or black colour) within the nozzle has loosened, it can cause a pressure leak hence affecting the misting. Wipe dry the connector piece and push it back securely into the nozzle.
5. Clean
If all above still do not produce mist, do a deep clean for the nozzle with the metal pin provided in the set. Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
In the case it is still not misting, simply bring the device to our studio and we will be able to help you with a further check.
FLO Diffuser Go - Pressure Eject (2021 and earlier)
1. Check washer ring
Check if the washer ring (white translucent rubber ring) is within the nozzle and pushed in all the way or if it is broken. When screwing the bottle it could have shifted or dropped slightly out. The washer ring will affect the misting. If it is broken, contact us to assist you.
2. Clean
If all above still do not produce mist, do a clean for the nozzle with cleaning solvent. Here's a full video guide on the cleaning.
In the case it is still not misting, simply bring the device to our studio and we will be able to help you with a further check.
The arrows on the top plates do need to be aligned when pushing the nozzle back in.
You may try to twist the nozzle to see if it’s able to still move and align it.
Otherwise, we will be able to help with the extraction of the nozzle. Simply bring the device to our studio and we will assist you. It can be resolved on the spot taking around 15-20mins. If there's oil inside the diffuser, do remember to keep the device upright to prevent any leakage of oil while bringing it over.
Simply bring the device to our studio and we will try our best to help you with a further check if it can be salvaged.
Should any replacement be required, there will be a small replacement fee depending on the parts changed.
First, check if there is still a blinking red light above the charging port when the device is being charged.
If yes, leave the device charged for at least 6 hours till the blinking red light becomes a solid red light.
If no, check if you are using the original cable that comes with the set or a cable of your own. For other cables of your own, you can use them as well, just have to take note that the connecting metal tip has to be at least 0.65cm for Micro-USB and 0.8cm for USB-C and above as the charging port is slightly deeper due to the aluminium casing of the device.

Yes it is safe, and we recommend diffusion as it is said to be safer than topical application or oral intake.
For newborns, we recommend diffusing the room briefly and switching off the diffuser when they enter the room. Monitor if they have any reaction when they are in the room. This will be an easy test to gauge how they can take them. As a rule of thumb, we would recommend taking slightly more caution as their systems are still developing.
As our essential oils are 100% pure, some oils may not be suitable for some pets due to their delicate system. Diffusing essential oils is generally considered safer than topical application, but caution should still be exercised. Different pets can have different reactions to essential oils, just like humans. We recommend diffusing with the room door open or with proper ventilation so your pet can leave if it's uncomfortable. It's also a good idea to monitor your pet's reaction to the oils when you start diffusing them.
Below is a guide on a list of oils you may take into consideration.
Dogs
Avoid: Cinnamon, Citrus, Tea Tree and Ylang Ylang
Consider: Oh! Fresh, Enchanted, Memory, Bloom, Lavender, Frankincense, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus
Cats
Avoid: Cinnamon, Citrus, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Peppermint
Consider: Bloom, Enchanted, Goodnight, Geranium, Frankincense, Lavender, Lemongrass
Rabbits
Avoid: Cinnamon, Tea Tree, Peppermint, Cedarwood
Consider: Lemon, Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Geranium
As a guide, you should avoid Cinnamon, Rosemary, Marjoram, Clary Sage, Cedarwood.
These ingredients are also present in some of our essential oil blends: Immunity+, Memory, Bloom, Oh! Fresh, Relief, Love, Retreat, Oriental wood.
Yes it is possible. They are 100% pure.
We advise researching safe practices as direct application can be potent, and everyone's skin sensitivity is different.
