Fragrance oxydation ?
Hi !
I'm not sure if im in the correct place for asking this...(if not i'm sorry)
Let let explain. Since a couple of years, i buy for my tiny appartement a room diffuser called "Med". This room diffuser is selled by MSC cruises and make you taste a good smell of a fresh environnement on a ship.
So what's the problem ? The liquid of this room diffuser is normally translucent/ a little bit yellow.
When i install it and open it, the liquid slowly start to turn to Brown, like a Pepsi. And the smell ? Gone, no smell at all, everyhing disapear.
Maybe the liquid oxidizes ? Maybe an interaction with other substances in the air ?
It's the third time on 3 differents room diffuser that this happens.
I just want to know : what do you thinks of this in a chemistry view ?
Heres the pictures of the product in normal conditions, the product with brown liquid (mine) and the chemistry formula of the product
Thanks for reading and for your answer !
