If you enjoy that your home can smell amazing without you lifting a finger, there's a good chance you've heard of the Pura Smart Home Diffuser. It's luxury, app-operated, and filled with high-end scents from brands like Nest, Capri Blue, and Apotheke. One of the questions many of us have is: How long do the Pura scents last?

It's a great one, too, if you're going to be shelling out for new refills or having to figure out how many times you can use your diffuser. The solution just comes down to some important factors–but don't worry, we're laying it all out for you here in this little guide.

The Basics: How Pura Works

Before we jump into scent life, here's a quick primer. The Pura device is wall-mounted, Wi-Fi enabled, and will allow you to manage scent strength and scheduling through an app on your smartphone. Each Pura will have two fragrance vials at any one time, which you can switch in and out through the app.

Now on to what matters - just how long they last, those small vials.

Average Lifespan of a Pura Scent

Each Pura vial of fragrance will be worth 1,000 hours of run time. That's the technical estimate, but in actual use, most people find their fragrance lasts:

• 15 to 30 days with a daily usage
  
• Max. 45 days of reduced intensity and shorter duration of runs
  
• 10 to 15 days if used on high intensity for an entire day

So yes, it really does depend on what you use it for.

What Affects Your Pura Scent's Lifespan?

Let's consider the most significant factors that determine how long a Pura scent will last:

1. Scent Intensity Setting

Pura lets you choose how strong the smell is - level 1 all the way to level 10. The higher the setting, the faster your scent will run out. For a more long-term experience, set your intensity at 3 or 5.

2. Run Time Per Day

24/7 diffusing it? That's going to drain your fragrance in no time. If you diffuse only for certain hours—say, between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.—you're going to extend the life of the vial by a huge margin.

3. Space Dimensions & Airflow 

Big rooms or rooms with fans running will need a higher setting, which will reduce the lifespan. Small, closed rooms will typically hold odor longer with lower output.

4. Fragrance Type

Certain fragrances tend to linger longer than others. Thicker fragrances such as amber, sandalwood, or musk will endure longer, while thinner fragrances such as florals or citrus will evaporate faster. Try our pure oil products to make your room smell great. 

5. Dual Vial Use

Since the Pura device has two vials, using them alternately keeps both functional for a more extended duration. Daily use is a great way to utilize both for a more extended duration.

How to Make Your Pura Scents Last Longer

The following are some easy tips to extend the life of your perfume:

Decrease the intensity level: Keep it at a midpoint level (4 or 5).

Use a schedule: Don't have it on 24/7—on/off times in the app.

Switch vials: Rotating scents or days to maximize life.

Close doors: Hold the smell within a smaller space whenever possible. 

Quantifying Usage on the Pura App

One of the best things about Pura is that it will let you know exactly how much of your fragrance you have left. Open up the app, and you'll have a percentage bar for every vial, so you'll never have to wonder. You can even set it to remind you when you're running low. 

Final Thoughts

So, how long do Pura scents last? On average, roughly 15 to 30 days per vial of daily use, but it really is based on your intensity level, your schedule, and fragrance type. The plus side is that, with some tweaking, you can get your favorite scents to last and have your area smelling great without product waste. 

With intelligent controls, premium fragrances, and customizable use, Pura makes it simple to have your house smelling exactly the way you want. Once you dial in the settings to your liking, you'll appreciate the perfect combination of scent strength and longevity.
