As the leaves begin to fall and the air becomes cooler, our body and mind ask for a transition: we seek refuge, warmth and comforting sensations. At this time of year, autumn scents become a key element in transforming everyday spaces into havens of well-being. By enhancing the ambiance in our home, we achieve that shelter effect in these days that are beginning to look cold, but it is important that the ambiance is respectful and natural to take care of what you breathe, and to achieve a safe and effective sensory experience. That is why choosing Tenka Best’s alcohol-free mikados, made with essential oils and first natural materials, is much more than an aromatic choice, it is a conscious choice.
What characterizes autumn scents?
The
aromas of autumn
evoke warmth, nostalgia and connection with nature. They are inspired by spicy, fruity, woody and deep floral ingredients. Among the most representative are:
- Cinnamon and red apple: Warm, sweet notes reminiscent of homemade pastries.
- Vanilla and coconut: creamy and enveloping, they generate a feeling of emotional warmth.
- Noble woods and amber: sophistication and olfactory depth.
- Spicy citrus: such as bergamot or orange blossom.
Studies show that these scents directly influence our mood. It has been proven that certain olfactory notes activate the release of serotonin, and generate feelings of comfort and pleasure.
Alcohol-free mikados vs. alcohol-containing mikados: a question of health and sustainability
Traditional air fresheners, especially those with alcohol, may seem intense at first, but their effect is short-lived, their diffusion aggressive and they often cause nasal irritation or headaches.
This is due to several factors:
- The volatility of alcohol, which dries mucous membranes.
- The presence of synthetic compounds that alter olfactory perception.
- Rapid evaporation that forces frequent replacements, increasing consumption.
On the other hand, alcohol-free mikados are characterized by:
- Disseminate slowly and steadily.
- Maintain the integrity of the perfumeThe composition of the essential oils is not altered.
- Avoid side effects such as irritation, allergies or respiratory discomfort.
Opting for alcohol-free mikados for your fall scents is embracing a healthier and safer way to enjoy the pleasure of air freshening.
