How long would it take, in your opinion, for the 'wine' aroma to dissipate? We would like to use as a basin stand in a powder room.

It most likely depends on the type of barrel they send you. The one I got is still going strong. We turned it into a table and love it.

I stored the 2 that I bought in my garage after they were delivered. My garage had an awesome wine aroma for about a week then it dissipated.

I never noticed a aroma of wine in the one I received. I was going to use it for a stand for a table-top fire pit but it wasn't the right fit. So I had it cut in half and used them for planters. It all worked out perfectly!

The aroma is not noticeable. I purchased the barrel as a gift for my dad. It was in my office an entire month before Christmas. Honestly I didn't smell it and no one in my office said anything.

Like the others, there's not much of an odor associated with ours. However, don't forget to put water in the bottom of the barrel from time to time, and put a stopper in it as well. If you don't it will dry out and the bands will fall off!

Just sitting there as it was, it seems to last forever, but if you are cutting into it, you could wash the inside and that should mostly take care of it I would think. You really have to put your nose right inside the barrel to smell it also. I don't think the room would smell like wine or anything. I didn't have it in a small room, but it wasn't a strong smell, just a woody faint wine smell when you are an inch from it.

Sorry Robin can't answer that, ours is outside. I would think a winery could

I agree wit you. It was my understanding the DRAWERS and closets would have an aroma. I also was most disappointed, unless I am going something wrong this product is useless. I also would appreciate some feed back from someone.

Nope. I've personally used it for several continuous months on a wine over a winter. I think the "up to eight days" thing is for legal purposes in case someone burns it out under a pile of laundry or something.

Raak,Can't give you a fersur time line, I would say when it looks right and smells right. I know in the research I read people were saying 4 weeks, but I think you just have to experiment. I have two of these and I have taken some out of my original, but add back the stuff that doesn't look right to me. Of course you have to take into account for ambient temp. I live in LA in the swamps, nice and hot, but humidity is a factor. All I can do is recommend the quality, the function like I say seems to me rule of green thumb! Good Luck.

You put the oils in the water as others have said. I think it disperses the oils just as well as any other diffuser I have seen. It is not a strong smell but noticeable. I have a very large great room though so I needed one that would work with a large room. I just rinse it with water between uses.

No noticeable smell after 2-3 days. That may change if you leave it longer!?

I run my almost constantly but it does not cover more than the room its in. The oil smells for around 2 to 3 hrs and I just add to it to creat more scent. It cleans up nicely with alcohol. You can't leave it set with oil in it without having it on for more than a day or two, the oil gets thick and clogs it.

Not sure what the expectation time is. I use the bottle up within less than two months. I smell it frequently to see if there's a change. Haven't had any change as of yet on any of the bottles.

I think your wine won't have enough time to get oakey taste if you fill it up right before serving.T

Not in a living space. I had it in my (unfinished) basement, and you could smell it upstairs after 3-4 days.

I don't think so. The fragrance isn't lasting long even without heating. Heating would make the fragrance evaporate right away.

Sorry, we used the lavender for my daughter's wedding. We threw it at the end instead of rice, so I have no idea how long the fragrance would last.

I have left the wine for a week with no issues. It seems to depend on how much wine is left in the bottle or some other factors but at two weeks it sometimes goes bad. With the other systems I've tried, I was only able to keep wine about 4 days.

In my opinion, it will takes years of growth for the flowers to smell upon walking up to the vines. I've only had them planted one summer, but I have smelled a huge quantity of this vine at once, and it is a *beautiful* smell. Just don't expect it for another 2-4 years, I would expect.

I agree with the other respondents, the unit needs plenty of air circulation in order to keep the wine at the desired temp. An under the counter situation would be marginal.

it last about 10 minutes to 20 depending on the size of room and ventilated area.its more of a spray it now,smell it in 20 seconds or less kinda thing. if you spray it move away asap.its ten times as stinky than the glass stink bombs that were back in school.its a funny prank if you can watch the expressions on peoples faces as they walk into it.

The smell goes away after about 5 min. I've never doused anything with it, so if it spills, I'm not sure what to do about that.
