What should I avoid buying? Reed diffuser oils and neat essential/carrier oils sold for humidifiers - they do not mix with water and can clog the misting plate. Buy water-based fragrance made for humidifier-style diffusers.
How do I know it is safe for my humidifier? Look for 'water-based' or 'for ultrasonic / humidifier / aroma diffusers' on the page. That is the property that keeps your machine clean.
What to avoid online
The online shelf is full of 'fragrance oil for humidifiers' that is nothing of the sort - reed oils and neat essential oils that float on water and coat the misting plate. Bought by mistake, they can clog your machine. So buying online safely is about reading the label for one property: water-based.
Get that right and online buying is simple.
If a listing does not clearly say water-based or for humidifier / ultrasonic diffusers, do not risk your machine on it - the label is doing important work.
Where and how to buy online
Buy from the source, check the label.
| Check | Want | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Water-based / humidifier | Reed, neat oils |
| Source | The maker | Mislabelled listings |
| Label | States its use | Vague 'oil' |
| Size | 15/100/300ml | Blind big buy |
So buy humidifier fragrance oil online direct from the maker after checking it is water-based - sosahomeandbody.com for SOSA. A humidifier diffuser scents the room on a few drops, and it does not purify the air.

Versailles
I trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA in Versailles, and the one thing every great hotel taught me is that scent is the first thing you notice and the last thing you forget. I wanted to bottle that feeling for the home.
So the Hotel Collection is seven water-based diffuser fragrances, each my own interpretation of the style a famous hotel is known for - composed in our own lab, made to run cleanly through a SOSA ultrasonic diffuser. Please use the SOSA diffuser fragrance only; raw essential or carrier oils are thick and can clog the misting plate.
To be clear: these are inspired interpretations, not the hotels' actual proprietary scents. SOSA is not affiliated with or endorsed by the hotels named - the names just describe the scent style. I would rather you knew exactly what you are buying: a perfumer's take on that hushed, expensive calm, at a fair price.
