Are there any obligations with the trial subscription?

The 7-day trial is free and ends automatically after seven days – with no further obligations.

Can I download Scentarium from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store?

Scentarium is not a traditional app that you install – it’s a web application and therefore not available in the app stores. You can easily access Scentarium through your internet browser (e.g., Safari, Chrome, or Firefox) on your smartphone, tablet, or computer – no installation required.

Advantages of a web app at a glance:
✅ No download or storage space needed
✅ Always the latest version – no updates required
✅ Accessible from any device with an internet connection
✅ Easily saved as a bookmark or added to your home screen
✅ Platform-independent (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux)

Does the subscription renew automatically?

Yes, the subscription renews automatically based on your selected plan – monthly or yearly. However, you can cancel your subscription at any time in your profile under “Subscription.” You will continue to have access to Scentarium for the remaining paid period.
After your subscription ends, you will no longer have access to the oils, recipes, studies, and community.
However, your account, including your own recipes, notes, and saved data, will remain intact – so you can return anytime you wish.

Where does the name “Scentarium” come from?

The name Scentarium is inspired by the traditional herbarium – a collection of dried plants systematically documented to preserve knowledge for science, healing, and inspiration.

Similarly, Scentarium is a place where information about essential oils are collected, organized, and presented.
The word Scent refers to the essence released by plants, flowers, woods, and resins.
The suffix -arium suggests a protected space – a sanctuary for knowledge, experience, and enjoyment.

Scentarium is therefore:
An archive of natural fragrances, a fragrant knowledge repository, an interactive journey through the world of essential oils.
