Fragrance Machines for a House in South Africa
SOSA · Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria
A house in South Africa, planned floor by floor
A freestanding South African house often has an open-plan living area flowing to a patio, plus a separate lounge and bedrooms. Each floor and each formal room is its own zone.

The short answer
Plan a house floor by floor. Give the main living area a Vaayu if it fits within 1000 m³, treat a separate formal sitting room as its own zone, and add a Pawan only to the bedrooms that want fragrance. No single machine will scent every level.
Your plan
Step by step
- Floor by floor. List each level and the connected space on it.
- The main living area. Vaayu for the largest connected room on the entertaining floor.
- The formal room. A separate sitting or dining room with doors is its own zone: Pawan if compact, a second Vaayu if large.
- Bedrooms upstairs. A Pawan in each closed bedroom that wants fragrance.
- The stair is not a duct. An open stair joins floors a little, but will not carry scent evenly upstairs.

What changes in South Africa
Indoor-outdoor living
Many South African homes open onto a patio or garden, so fragrance is planned for the indoor rooms you can close.
The braai area and patio
Living often flows out to the braai area and patio; fragrance belongs to the indoor rooms only.
Delivery and plugs
Orders to South Africa usually arrive in about a week. Sockets in South Africa are types C, M and N, so whether Pawan needs a plug adapter depends on your socket. Ask us before you order.

Questions
Before you choose
Can one Vaayu scent both floors?
No. It scents the connected space it sits in. Plan each floor, and each room behind a closed door, separately.
Can it be used on the patio or stoep?
No. It is for indoor rooms; outdoors, the scent disperses.
Do you deliver to South Africa?
Yes. Orders to South Africa usually arrive in about a week. Sockets in South Africa are types C, M and N, so whether Pawan needs a plug adapter depends on your socket. Ask us before you order.
What should I send you for a recommendation?
A floor plan or rough sketch, the size of each room, ceiling height, which doors stay closed, where the sockets are, the hours the space is used and the scents you like. Photos help too.
Not sure which one?
