How Strong Should Fragrance Be Around Appliance Specification Tables?

As faint as the floor gets, and the way to say that precisely is to say what the table is for. A specification table is where the decision happens: a client and an advisor, sometimes a designer, with a handful of sample boards, a fan of laminate chips, a worktop offcut, two handles - held side by side, brought up to the face, put down, picked up again. It is the one place on the floor where somebody is looking at a finish from twenty centimetres and concentrating. Three things follow. The fragrance over the table must be un-nameable by someone who has been sitting at it for an hour. The samples on it must carry none of it when they are held close - a veneer that smells of cedar has a fragrance on it, not a finish. And nothing is ever placed on the table or beside it: no reed among the samples, no small diffuser on the plinth next to it, no machine on the wall behind it. So the question in the title is answered by placement before it is answered by strength. Treat the specification table as the zero point of the floor - the far end of the air path from the machine, where the fragrance arrives last and faintest. The machine goes on the wall opposite the table, along the AC supply path, so the scent is carried across the sales floor and away from it, and what reaches the table is what the floor has left. On a floor with two or three specification tables, they are grouped at the same far end of the same gradient and the machine sits at the other end from the group; a floor where the tables are scattered is a floor whose plan needs redrawing before its fragrance does. Only once the gradient is right does the dial come into it: with the machine on the correct wall, step the intensity down until an hour at the table passes, and lock it. If you find yourself turning the dial down to fix a table that is too strong, the machine is on the wrong wall. That is what the wall or HVAC mount on the SOSA Vaayu is for on this floor - it lets the source sit where the gradient wants it rather than where the socket is - and at ₹11,999, waterless, with adjustable intensity, a 1h/4h/8h/24h timer and a key-lock, it covers a connected floor of roughly 1,500-3,000 sq ft. In a studio under about 750 sq ft the same logic is a Mountain Breeze reed at ₹849 at the reception desk with three reeds in, at the opposite end from the table, and never on it; between 300 and 750 sq ft a Sukoon at ₹1,899 at the desk end, with the honest note that it is water-based. Past about 3,000 sq ft of one connected floor, one Angaan at ₹25,999 on the plant, never a second Vaayu in the same air. The register is the family's: dry cedar, sage and tea on a floor of timber, stone and dark glass, or a clean lemon-and-mint - Morning Freshness - where the sample wall is white; nothing warm, nothing edible. A live kitchen or coffee counter on the floor stays unscented while it runs, machine off on the timer, extraction clearing. The pages around this one take the table from other angles: homeowners who spend hours is the two-hour sit at this table as the method for the whole floor, the selection studio is the table in a closed working room, and the written standard for designers has the zero-point rule as one line. And the caveat every page carries: fragrance is an interiors decision, like the lighting over the table. SOSA makes no claim that it changes what anyone specifies, footfall, dwell time or sales, and no claim about what it does to any sample, appliance or finish.
