Mikado air fresheners

A mikado is a type of air freshener that continuously disperses fragrance through wooden or rattan sticks, which are placed in a bottle with aromatic liquid. By absorbing the perfume, the sticks spread the aroma naturally into the environment, keeping the space scented without the need for sprays or electricity. Its name comes from the visual similarity with the set of sticks known as "Mikado."

Mikado air fresheners work through a capillary absorption system. The rattan reeds are placed in a jar with the aromatic liquid, where they absorb the perfume and gradually diffuse it into the environment. These reeds, which act as diffusers, must be separated from each other to optimize the circulation of the aroma and allow it to spread evenly throughout the room. At La Corberana, we offer a selection of fragrances specially designed for mikado air fresheners, including options such as coconut and vanilla, cinnamon and orange, red fruits and rosemary. These essences allow you to create a cozy and sophisticated atmosphere in any space, all with the advantage of continuous and natural diffusion, without the need for electricity or aerosols.

For mikado air fresheners, the most commonly used reeds are those made of rattan. This type of reed, originating in tropical regions, is ideal for diffusing fragrances, as its internal pores allow the aroma to rise and be released gradually into the environment. In addition to rattan, there are reeds made of other materials, but rattan is preferred for its durability and its ability to maintain an even diffusion of the aroma. The reeds can be presented in their natural colour or dyed to harmonise with the style of the air freshener.

To optimise the diffusion of the aroma in a reed diffuser, it is advisable to insert all the rattan sticks into the bottle with the fragrance, making sure that they are well separated to allow better circulation of the aroma in the environment. After about 30 minutes, when the reeds have absorbed the liquid halfway, it is advisable to turn them over to help the fragrance to be released continuously. Repeating this process several times a day, especially on the first day, helps to intensify the aroma and prolong its duration. The duration of the reed diffuser may vary depending on environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity. In spaces with a temperature of around 22°C and a humidity of 40-45%, the aroma tends to be optimally maintained. By adjusting the use of the reed diffuser to these conditions, you can enjoy a constant and long-lasting fragrance in your home.

Yes, it is possible to make a homemade Mikado air freshener using essential oil, water, and rattan reeds. However, although it may seem like an economical and simple option, the results are not always as long-lasting or effective as those of professional Mikado air fresheners.
Home fragrances can lose intensity over time and do not diffuse as evenly. At La Corberana, we offer you a selection of high-quality Mikado fragrances that have been formulated to provide more effective and longer-lasting diffusion. Our fragrances are specifically designed to stay fresh for much longer, without losing the intensity of the aroma.
