Description of a fragrance diffuser:
I have three sections: a) caractéristiques techniques (gives all the physical traits; size, color etc.). b) fonctionnalité électroniques (programming, settings, etc). c) Autonomie parfums (required refills, storage temperature, duration of refills and fragrance certification (IFRA).
I've used "duration", but I don't really like it. I know that there must be something better.

Teresa,
Listen, I keep seeing you say diffuser...mostly, one sees PERFUME OR FRANGRANCE DISPENSERS....I really think diffuser is wrong and it really sounds AWFUL in English..
for PERFUMES and FRANGRANCES, that you carry in your purse or have on your dresser, they are DISPENSERS......and also for AIR FRESHENERS...the word to diffuse in English is 100% different than in Spanish and French.....

autonomie seems to refer to THINGS and CONDITIONS...so I would call that
FINAL: REFILL REQUIREMENTS...
good luck to you
