Frequently Asked Questions
Are there benefits to Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy, the use of essential oils from plants for therapeutic purposes, offers a wide range of benefits for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Some of the key benefits may include:
Stress Reduction
Sharpened Concentration
Spiritual Healing
Sensory Engagement
Using Mood Miles as an Aromatherapy support can help you in these ways and more. We encourage you to share with us the ways Mood Miles has helped you.
What is sensory fatigue?
Sensory fatigue, specifically with smell, is a phenomenon where the olfactory system becomes less responsive to a particular odor after prolonged exposure. This condition is also known as olfactory fatigue or olfactory adaptation. It occurs because the sensory receptors in the nose become desensitized to a continuous or repeated stimulus.
Using our variety of Mood Miles Aromatherapy scents will ensure you are not exposed to the same scent for prolonged periods and help you engage your olfactory system with new experiences more often.
Can I use Mood Miles in my diffuser?
Using our combination of distilled water, witch hazel, jojoba oil, essential oil blends, sunflower lecithin, and sunflower oil in traditional diffusers is not recommended.
We encourage you to consider what type of diffuser you are using and sticking to the factory recommendations of that diffuser. If you wish to know more about the potential effects of plastic diffusers, please reach out or view our social media pages.
How do I know which scent would best fit my mood?
The sense of smell is closely linked to memory and emotions. Mood Miles may evoke powerful memories and feelings, playing a crucial role in social interactions, food preferences, and even setting the tone of each moment. Choosing scents that help engage your olfactory system to set or match an experience will enrich the nature of that experience.
Whether adding depth to your perception or enhancing an environment and event, we offer a wide variety of scents and frequently release new, exciting options. Stay tuned for our latest releases and make sure to always have your favorite scents on hand.
Where can I buy Mood Miles besides the website?

What is the difference between paraffin wax candles and soy wax candles?
The main differences between paraffin wax candles and soy wax candles lie in their composition, burning characteristics, environmental impact, and health considerations. Paraffin wax candles are made from petroleum by-products, specifically the residue left after crude oil refining. Whereas, soy wax candles are made from soybean oil, a natural, renewable resource.
Additionally, paraffin wax burns hotter and faster than soy wax, produces more soot, which can accumulate on walls, furniture, and in the air, and holds and throw scent strongly, causing potential headaches and sensory issues. Soy Was burns slower and cooler, making it longer-lasting, produces little to no soot when burned properly, and provides a clean burn and may offer a more subtle scent throw, enhancing you sensory experience.
If you prioritize natural, eco-friendly products and clean indoor air, Mood Miles candles are your best choice.
What is the difference between Mood Miles and traditional air fresheners, plastic diffusers, and aerosol sprays?
The difference between a spray that contains distilled water, witch hazel, jojoba oil, essential oil blends, sunflower lecithin, and sunflower oil and traditional air fresheners, plastic diffusers, and aerosol sprays primarily lies in the ingredients, their benefits, and potential health effects.
Mood Miles is a Natural Spray (Distilled Water, Witch Hazel, Jojoba Oil, Essential Oil Blends, Sunflower Lecithin, and Sunflower Oil) and the others may contain ingredients and synthetic chemicals that can pose health risks. Common ingredients in these more widely used products include:
Phthalates: Used to make fragrances last longer, but can disrupt endocrine function.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Chemicals like benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene that can be harmful when inhaled.
Synthetic Fragrances: Can contain hundreds of undisclosed chemicals, many of which may be harmful.
Aerosol Propellants: Chemicals like butane and propane used to disperse the product.
Although these more popular methods may appear convenient, you should use caution and consider the long term effects of these product on your health.
