Regarding Spiritus Diffuser Clock
Spiritus is an ultrasonic aroma diffuser combined with a digital alarm clock. The housing is made of matte black ABS plastic with matte red light dispersing screens, recalling a burnt wood surface. Integrated red lighting glows softly through the black cover for a warm coal effect. The 300 millilitre tank holds water and a few drops of essential oil, and four operation settings of 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes are offered. A quiet function suits night use. The alarm combines sound and scent to support a calm evening and morning routine.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Do you miss the way coniferous forests smell in the summertime, or the way that the wind catches the salty sea breeze in southern california, or the smell of charcoal on christmas? Essential oil diffuser Spiritus is the newest trend, and for a good reason: seeking more of a natural look in a diffuser?
- Inspiration
- It has a gorgeous burnt-wood looking exterior, integrated LED lighting, digital alarm clock, and smart features in one sleek package. The diffuser runs through shades of soothing red light that gently glows through its black cover for an added chillout glowing coal effect. It is not just about appearances, though. It has four different time-output settings (operation time - 30,60,120,180 mins.), a 300-milliliter tank, and a whisper-quiet function.
- Research
- It encourages a ritual in order to establish a routine before going to sleep, signaling to the body and mind that it is time to relax. It disperses natural oils into the air - lavender, eucalyptus, whatever you like - which can help to freshen up a room and reduce feelings of anxiety.
- Challenge
- It is hard to decide whether we like this gorgeous specimen better as a diffuser, digital clock or an art object. And thankfully, we do not have to. This amazing diffuser requires only some water and a few drops of your favorite blend to turn your home or office into a stress-relieving oasis. The Yakisugi burn-wood style case is so eye-catching that you'll want to give it the place of honor on your shelf.
- Realization and Technology
- The clock is encased in a matte black housing from ABS plastic with matte red light dispersing screens. The box contains the clock, a detachable 5 meter power cord with a DC jack for clock connection, a universal power adapter supporting all mains types, and a special plug matching the power outlets in the region of intended usage.
- Operation and Interaction
- From another side, the Spiritus diffuser has an alarm function that eases you into the day with the smell of freshly brewed coffee. This mode is for those who have trouble waking up in the morning.
- Project Duration and Location
- The Spiritus is a ultrasonic aroma diffuser and alarm digital clock that was created by Vadim Kibardin. The project started in January 2019 and finished in January 2021 in Prague.
