Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your Ayö pieces — from orders and delivery to fragrance, care and reuse.

I.Orders & Delivery

Where does Ayö deliver and how long will my order take?

Kuwait — Orders placed before 1 PM can be delivered the same day. Orders placed after 1 PM will be delivered the following working day. We do not deliver on Fridays or public holidays.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Once an order has been placed, we are unable to make changes to the items selected.

What should I do if my order arrives damaged?

Please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and clear photographs of the damaged item and its packaging. We will review your request and get back to you promptly.

II.Reed Diffusers

How long does an Ayö reed diffuser last?

Diffusion will vary depending on the size of the diffuser, its placement, airflow and how often the reeds are turned. As a guide:

  • 200 ml — up to 4 months
  • 450 ml — up to 6 months
  • 1800 ml — up to 12 months

Air conditioning, strong airflow and frequent turning of the reeds can increase diffusion and cause the perfume to evaporate more quickly.

How often should I turn the reeds?

We recommend turning the reeds once or twice a week, or whenever you would like a stronger diffusion.

The more often the reeds are turned, the stronger the scent — and the faster the perfume will be used.

Where should I place my reed diffuser?

Place your diffuser where there is gentle airflow to help the fragrance travel naturally through the room. Avoid placing it directly beneath or beside strong air conditioning, as this can cause the perfume to evaporate more quickly.

Always place your diffuser on a stable surface. On wood or other delicate surfaces, use a coaster or protective base, as perfume spills may damage the finish.

Which diffuser size is right for my room?
  • 200 ml — bathrooms, dressing rooms and smaller spaces
  • 450 ml — bedrooms, living spaces and small offices
  • 1800 ml — entrances, reception rooms, diwaniyas and larger spaces

Room size, layout and airflow will all affect fragrance diffusion. Large or open-plan spaces may require more than one diffuser.

Can I refill my Ayö diffuser?

The 200 ml glass diffuser is not refillable.

Our 450 ml and 1800 ml ceramic diffusers are refillable. Each Ayö refill comes with a fresh set of reeds, particularly important when changing scents.

Before refilling, clean the ceramic vessel and allow it to dry completely before adding the new fragrance.

And when you no longer wish to use your ceramic as a diffuser, reimagine it as a vase, planter, pen holder, kitchen utensil holder or simply a decorative object.

III.Candles & Care

How should I care for my Ayö candle?

For the best burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface, particularly on the first use.

Before each burn, trim the wick and keep the wax free from matches, wick trimmings and debris. Keep your candle away from drafts and place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

How long should I burn my candle?

Allow enough time for the wax to melt evenly across the surface, but do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

Let the wax cool and fully solidify before relighting.

Why should I trim the wick?

A properly trimmed wick helps your candle burn cleanly and evenly, while reducing smoke, soot and an excessively large flame.

Before each burn, trim a cotton wick to approximately 5 mm. For a wooden wick, gently remove the charred portion before relighting.

IV.Fragrance & Materials

Where are Ayö fragrances made?

Ayö fragrances are created and produced by a perfumery in Grasse, France, at the heart of French perfumery.

What wax does Ayö use?

Our candles are made with natural soy wax sourced from the United Kingdom, selected for its quality and clean, even burn.

What is used in Ayö reed diffusers?

Our reed diffusers use an eco-friendly fragrance base sourced from Brazil, chosen for its performance and effective fragrance diffusion.

V.Ceramics & Reuse

Why does my ceramic piece vary slightly from the photographs?

Ayö ceramics are handmade, so subtle variations in shape, colour, glaze and finish are part of their character. No two pieces will be exactly alike.

Our ceramic oil burners are handcrafted in Latvia exclusively for Ayö.

Can I reuse my Ayö vessel?

Yes. Our ceramic vessels are created to be enjoyed beyond their original use.

Refill your diffuser or reimagine the vessel as a planter, vase, pen holder, kitchen utensil holder or decorative object.
