Should Reception, Treatment Rooms and Exercise Areas Use Different Intensities?

Yes, and the reason has nothing to do with preference. Reception, treatment rooms and exercise areas are different rooms doing different jobs at different times, and one fixed intensity across all three either overwhelms the smallest room, underserves the largest, or lands somewhere unsatisfying in between that suits none of them.

The order, from highest to lowest, is not arbitrary. Reception carries the highest intensity in the building, because it is the room every patient crosses and where the slowest walker then sits the longest. Treatment and consultation rooms carry the lowest intensity of any occupied room in the building - a trace at most, inherited through the door rather than dosed on purpose, because a room where a clinician and patient are working closely for thirty or forty minutes is not a room that benefits from a fragrance decision competing for attention. Exercise and open rehab areas sit at the bottom of the ladder, at the lowest intensity of the whole centre or at none as a zone of their own, because a room full of movement is already turning its air over faster than anywhere else in the building. Procedure and injection rooms are not part of this ladder at all - they sit outside it entirely, at zero, regardless of where the ladder above them lands.

What does not change anywhere on this ladder is the fragrance itself. One register runs through reception, treatment rooms and the exercise area alike; intensity is the only variable, and mixing that up - reaching for a different bottle instead of a different dose - is the single most common way a combined centre ends up smelling like more than one clinic.

In practice, holding three intensities with one product comes down to two mechanical decisions. For reed diffusers, intensity is set by how many of the six reeds are exposed and flipped, and how far the bottle sits from where people actually stand or sit. A full set of reeds close to the reception desk reads at full strength; the same bottle with fewer reeds exposed, or moved further down a corridor toward a treatment area, reads lighter without any change to the fragrance. For a machine, intensity is a dial position and a run-window decision - a Vaayu's adjustable intensity setting and its 1h/4h/8h/24h timers let one unit hold a documented level for one zone, though a genuinely separate room on a different intensity usually needs its own small reed rather than asking one machine to do two different jobs at once.

Whichever mechanism you use, the ladder only holds if it is written down somewhere - a reed count and placement for each zone, or a dial position and run window for a machine - so the order does not quietly drift as staff change or a bottle gets moved. An intensity ladder that exists only as an unwritten habit tends to flatten out within a few months, usually toward whatever level is easiest to maintain rather than the level that was actually right for each room.

Sizing the equipment itself follows the standard ladder for this cluster: reeds under 300 sq ft, a Sukoon at ₹1,899 for control between 300 and 750 sq ft, the real decision point from 750 to 1,500 sq ft, one Vaayu at ₹11,999 from about 1,500 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, and one Angaan at ₹25,999 rather than two or three Vaayus above that.
