Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — a free account includes real AI, not just a trial. Registered free members get a free AI blend creation each day (shared across Quick Blend and Smart Lab), plus the full 225+ oil library, saving and editing your blends, sharing them to the community, routines, and all caution tools. Want unlimited AI and the pro tools? A 7-day free trial unlocks everything at once; it requires a payment method and auto-renews into your chosen plan unless you cancel before it ends. When a trial or subscription lapses, you simply return to the free tier — not a locked wall. Paid plans are Enthusiast ($9.99/month or $79.99/year) and Professional ($24.99/month or $199.99/year).

dilutio is available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Your data syncs across devices when you're signed in.

A free account unlocks daily AI blend creations, saving and syncing your blends across devices, and community features like sharing and remixing (browsing is open to everyone, no account needed). You can sign up with email and password, Google sign-in, or a passwordless magic link.

When you first open dilutio, you'll go through a brief setup: accept the safety disclaimer, select your scent preferences, verify your age, and review the AI disclosure. It takes about 2 minutes.

Your saved blends, oil cabinet inventory, and downloaded routines work offline. AI-powered features (blend generation, smart analysis), community features, and detailed oil library data require an internet connection.

No. dilutio is for educational and informational purposes only. The AI assistant never makes medical claims — it will never say an oil can "treat", "cure", or "heal" a condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before using essential oils, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are considering use for children.

dilutio applies demographic-specific dilution guidelines automatically. Adults, children (2-6 years), infants (3-24 months), pregnant individuals, and elderly users each have different safe dilution percentages. Both Quick Blend and Smart Lab show real-time dilution percentages and warn you if you exceed safe limits for your selected demographic.

Yes. dilutio flags phototoxic oils, pregnancy-unsafe oils, and oils that should be avoided around children or infants (such as peppermint and eucalyptus for infants). The Perfumer's Studio also checks IFRA compliance limits and detects known allergens.

Expert Mode unlocks Tier 3 oils — absolutes, CO₂ extracts, and high-potency materials that require more knowledge to use safely. Enabling Expert Mode requires reading and acknowledging the safety guidelines. You can toggle it on or off at any time in Settings.

dilutio lets you set household safety profiles (has children, has pets) in your preferences. When active, oils known to be unsafe for those demographics are flagged automatically, and child-specific dilution ratios are applied to your blends.

Lutio is your AI blending assistant. It generates educational blend ideas based on your goals and preferences, analyzes formulas for balance and harmony, surfaces dilution and caution reminders, suggests improvements, and recommends complementary oils.

No. Lutio is an AI assistant, not a licensed practitioner. This is clearly disclosed during onboarding. You should independently review all dilution, allergy, child, pet, pregnancy, medication, and sensitive-skin cautions before use.

AI interactions are processed to generate responses. API prompts and outputs are not used for OpenAI model training by default unless the API customer opts in. You can grant or revoke consent for AI data processing at any time in the Privacy Center.

Registered free members get a set number of AI creations per day, shared across Quick Blend and Smart Lab. The 7-day free trial raises that to unlimited AI, subject to a fair-use cap during the trial. Enthusiast and Professional plans include unlimited AI for personal, non-abusive use, and Professional subscribers also receive priority AI processing for faster responses.

Available on Enthusiast and Professional plans. When enabled, Lutio remembers your scent preferences, past blends, and feedback across sessions — so its recommendations get more personalized over time. You can disable AI Memory at any time in Settings.

The 7-day free trial unlocks everything at once — unlimited AI, blend creation, the Lab, the full 225+ oil library, routines, the oil cabinet, dilution guidance, and caution reminders (AI during the trial is subject to a fair-use cap). It sits above the permanent free tier, which keeps a daily cap on AI creations. The trial requires a payment method and auto-renews into your chosen plan unless you cancel before it ends. After 7 days, if you don't subscribe you simply return to the free tier — you keep blend creation, a free AI blend each day, your saved blends, the oil library, and community access. A paid plan lifts the daily cap and unlocks unlimited AI plus the premium tools.

Enthusiast costs $9.99/month or $79.99/year. It unlocks unlimited blend creation and AI calls, AI memory (personalized recommendations), ritual analytics, recipe export, and an ad-free experience.

Professional costs $24.99/month or $199.99/year. It includes everything in Enthusiast plus the Perfumer's Studio (full fragrance formulation workspace), oil cost calculator, batch recipe scaling, priority AI processing, and professional PDF reports with scent profiles, compliance data, and cost breakdowns.

Use Settings > Subscription > Manage / Cancel Subscription to open Apple or Google subscription management. You can also cancel directly through the App Store or Google Play. Important: deleting your dilutio account does not automatically cancel your active subscription.

The library includes 225+ essential oils and natural materials. Each oil has detailed profiles covering scent notes, extraction methods, countries of origin, practical cautions, and blending suggestions. Oils are organized by aroma family and searchable by name or category.

Quick Blend is a 5-step guided flow: choose your domain (home, body, mind, beauty), set a purpose, select a delivery method, pick your preferred aromas, and let the AI generate a custom blend idea. Smart Lab is for rapid, hands-on mixing from oils you already own with real-time dilution percentage tracking and caution notes.

Routines are guided aromatherapy sessions. dilutio includes 7 pre-built routines (sleep preparation, focus, stress recovery, morning energize, and more) plus a custom routine builder. Each session includes step-by-step guidance, a built-in timer, and optional ambient soundscapes.

The Oil Cabinet is your personal inventory tracker. Mark oils as Have, Low, Finished, or Wishlist. It integrates directly with Smart Lab — so you can create blends from oils you actually have on hand. It also helps track which oils you need to restock.

Sharing is free: any account can post blends to the community feed, where others can like, save, comment, and remix them. Professional subscribers can additionally export blends as PDF reports — generic blends get a recipe-style document, while Studio blends include radar charts, evolution analysis, sillage scores, cost breakdowns, and compliance data.

A professional-grade fragrance formulation workspace available on the Professional plan. It features top/heart/base note zones for structured composition, an olfactory sphere visualization, precision drop controls, and automatic fragrance family detection. It's designed for serious fragrance creation beyond simple essential oil blending.

The Studio includes molecular odor analysis, wear test simulation (how your fragrance evolves over hours), evolution tracking from opening to dry-down, IFRA compliance checks, allergen detection, real-time cost-per-ml breakdowns, oil substitution suggestions for budget optimization, and accord templates based on classic fragrance structures.

Studio PDF reports include the full formula with drop counts, a scent profile radar chart, evolution analysis charts, sillage and longevity scores, wear notes, a cost breakdown table, safety data, and a compliance report. Generic blend reports include the recipe, ingredients, dilution information, safety notes, and usage instructions.

Yes. The Studio offers accord templates based on classic fragrance archetypes — oriental, chypre, fougere, floral, fresh, woody, and more. You can use these as starting points and customize every aspect of the formula.

dilutio is intended for adults 18 and older. On first launch you confirm your birth year and month — users under 18 are blocked from using the app. This keeps the platform aligned with our perfumery, aromatherapy, and community standards.

Go to Settings > Account > Delete Account and type "DELETE" to confirm. You have a 30-day grace period to change your mind. After 30 days, all personal data is permanently removed. Important: your subscription is not cancelled automatically — you must cancel it separately through the App Store or Google Play before deleting your account.

Through the Privacy Center in the app, you can: view and manage your data processing consents, revoke AI data processing consent (which disables AI features), request data export, and delete your account. dilutio never sells your personal data. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
