Patent pending Instant mist. Auto-cleaning. Swap scents in seconds. Any aroma. Always fresh. Zero setup.
For wellness seekers, stressed professionals, and anyone looking to transform their daily routine into a moment of mindful escape, the ScentXpresso, featured on Kickstarter, introduces an innovative approach to natural aromatherapy. This smart, in-shower diffuser promises an instant, immersive, and mess-free experience, turning your ordinary shower into a personal sanctuary of calm and rejuvenation.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: ScentXpresso: Instant, Immersive Natural Shower Aromatherapy by Daniel Hartshorn (Flowgreens)
What It Is: A cordless, USB-C rechargeable in-shower aromatherapy diffuser that uses patented ultrasonic diffusion technology to instantly release a clean, heat-free mist of essential oils into the shower environment, offering adjustable intensity and an auto-cleaning function for a personalized and effortless spa experience.
Key Features
Instant & Immersive Diffusion: ScentXpresso uses ultrasonic diffusion to atomize essential oils into a fine, fragrant mist instantly and without heat. This patented "Fresh Fusion™" system ensures a consistent and immediate release of aroma, filling your shower with natural scents in seconds for a truly immersive experience.
Universal Oil Compatibility & QuickSwitch System: While ScentXpresso offers its own range of NFC-enabled, ethically sourced essential oils, the device is designed with a universal adapter that fits most standard 5ml essential oil bottles. This "QuickSwitch" system allows you to swap scents in seconds, providing freedom to use your favorite brands and customize your aromatherapy experience based on your mood or needs.
Cordless & USB-C Rechargeable: The device is completely cordless, eliminating the need for a power socket in the bathroom. It charges via USB-C, with one full charge lasting up to a month with typical daily use, offering ultimate convenience and flexibility for placement.
Auto-Cleaning Function: ScentXpresso features an "AutoClean" rinse cycle at the end of each session, flushing out lingering oils to prevent residue buildup and ensure fresh, unadulterated scent every time. Removable parts are also dishwasher-safe for deeper cleaning every 1-2 weeks.
Adjustable Scent Intensity: You can easily control the diffusion level with adjustable scent intensity settings, allowing you to choose between a subtle whisper of aroma or a more invigorating cloud of scent, tailoring the experience precisely to your preference.
SmartHalo Breathing Light: Includes a soothing breathing light that can guide you through deep breathing exercises, helping to lower stress and enhance relaxation during your shower.
Easy, Plumbing-Free Installation: Designed for simple setup, ScentXpresso adheres to most bathroom surfaces using nano tape. There's no plumbing or permanent installation required, making it ideal for renters or those who prefer a hassle-free setup.
App Integration (Roadmap Feature): A companion app is planned to provide smart notifications for maintenance (e.g., refilling water, cleaning), customize experiences, and potentially offer mood mapping, extending the device's utility beyond the shower.
Rewards
Kickstarter reward tiers for the ScentXpresso includes:
ScentXpresso Solo Device Only (Super Early Bird): One ScentXpresso Solo device (no oils included) at a discounted price of $140
ScentXpresso Ritual, Luxe: These include pre-assigned essential oil packs that along with the unit.
The Idea
Concept: To elevate the everyday shower into an effortless spa-like escape by fusing the power of natural essential oils with patented smart technology, providing instant, personalized aromatherapy for stress relief and rejuvenation.
Inspiration: The creators at Flowgreens (Daniel Hartshorn and team) recognized that while many seek moments of calm and self-care, integrating aromatherapy into daily routines, especially in the shower, often involves mess, complexity, or inefficient methods. Their mission with ScentXpresso is to remove these barriers, making spa-quality, natural aromatherapy accessible and effortless. By engineering a custom circuit board, innovative diffusion technology, and a focus on user experience, they aim to deliver a product that helps people "reset and recharge" and transform their bathroom into a true sanctuary.
