This directive is issued in response to document 2025-04-17-ODR, received from the Affiliated Agency of Consumer Odor Control.

The original source compares two commercially available odor management products: Nature's Miracle Air Freshener and Fresh Wave Odor Eliminating Gel Beads.

Both products claim to clean the air rather than merely mask odors. This distinction is critical for olfactory absence protocols.

The evaluation centers on asthma-friendly odor control and the so-called "mom test" for practical household efficacy.

Nature's Miracle is marketed primarily for pet-related odors and uses enzymatic action to break down organic compounds. Fresh Wave employs a proprietary blend of plant-based oils to neutralize airborne molecules.

Neither product introduces synthetic fragrances, which aligns with the Department's preference for scent-free environments.

Preliminary data suggest that Fresh Wave's gel bead format offers passive, continuous diffusion, while Nature's Miracle requires active spraying and surface contact.

For asthma-sensitive populations, the trigger potential of any aerosol or volatile compound must be assessed. The original comparison notes that both products are reported as asthma-friendly, but no formal clinical trials were cited.

The "mom test" refers to subjective user satisfaction with odor elimination in real-world settings such as kitchens, bathrooms, and pet areas. No quantitative metrics were provided.

This directive recommends further controlled testing under the Department's Olfactory Absence Benchmarks. Until then, no official endorsement can be issued.

All affiliated agencies should refrain from promotional language when referencing these products in inter-departmental communications.

The absence of smell remains the ideal state. Any product that introduces even trace odorants must be evaluated for net gain or loss of air purity.

Signed,
