Use and care instructions for your Catalytic Diffusion instrument

Use

You have selected the 018_09 catalytic diffusion instrument featuring nine distinctive cut-outs. This instrument is a beautiful decorative object sculpted in France from solid brass. It diffuses D’ORSAY home fragrances in a powerful, continuous stream. Unscrew the housing from the base and insert the refill bottle. Light the stone, wait for two minutes and then blow out the flame. Allow the diffuser to release the right amount of fragrance to reach your desired intensity and then extinguish the flame by covering the stone with the snuffer cap.

Care

This brass object needs very little maintenance. Brass is a non-ferrous alloy which mankind has known since ancient times. It was used to craft jewellery and pieces of art, just like today. Following this line of thought, we could consider woodwind instruments like saxophones to be part of the “brass” family, as they are also made of this shiny metal. In its untreated form, this noble metal develops a patina with the passing of the seasons and years.
