Learn when to replace Kyoto in Bloom scent stems and how to swap them step by step for a consistent, fresh fragrance.

Quick Answer

Replace the Kyoto in Bloom scent stems when the fragrance noticeably fades, usually after a few weeks, and swap them using the steps below for a consistent scent.

Why Scent Stems Need Replacing

Scent stems gradually lose their ability to wick and diffuse fragrance oil. Over time, they can become clogged or saturated, reducing the scent throw even if the oil level in the diffuser is fine.

Regular replacement is a simple part of diffuser maintenance that keeps your space smelling fresh without needing to replace the entire diffuser.

Signs It's Time to Swap

The most obvious sign is a weaker scent. If you notice the fragrance from your Kyoto in Bloom diffuser is less noticeable even after refilling the oil, the stems are likely the culprit.

Also check the stems for discoloration or a sticky residue, which can indicate they are no longer wicking properly.

How to Swap Your Kyoto in Bloom Scent Stems

  1. Step 1: Prepare the area: Place a paper towel or cloth under the diffuser to catch any oil drips. Remove the old stems from the Scent Scene™ Stand and dispose of them. Check that the stand is clean and free of dust before inserting new stems.
  2. Step 2: Insert the new stems: Take one new replacement scent stem from the Kyoto in Bloom refill set and insert it into the stand, ensuring it is securely placed. Repeat for all stems. Avoid touching the stems too much; natural oils from your hands can affect wicking.
  3. Step 3: Let the fragrance develop: Allow a few hours for the new stems to absorb the oil and release the scent. The fragrance will be subtle at first and then build to full strength. If the scent is still weak after 24 hours, check the oil level in the diffuser.
