Heavenly Scent Room Spray with Essential Oils for Safe Fragrance

Everyone has their own idea of what heaven will be like. I’ve never been there, but I have a beautiful picture in my head of what lies beyond those pearly gates. I might be stretching here, but I truly believe my favorite essential room spray is nothing short of ethereal. My Heavenly Scent Room Spray is a recipe I stumbled upon by accident, but it’s now a daily staple in my home. I can almost hear the angels singing every time I use it!

Essential Oil Room Spray Tips

• As we covered in our dispersing and diluting essential oil guide, you need to combine essential oils with a solubilizing ingredient of some kind. In many cases, alcohol works beautifully and is very easy to incorporate into a room spray recipe. I recommend getting the highest proof alcohol you can.
• Citrus essential oils are always cheerful, fresh, and light. They can instantly boost the mood. We call orange EO our liquid antidepressant! When you combine citrus essential oils with a floral note, such as magnolia, you elevate your spray to a whole new level! On their own, these flower essential oils are excellent. But, mixed with the sweetness of citrus oil, they are simply divine.
• You can use this as a personal body spray in addition to a room spray! I often wear this scent during my travels, and everywhere I go, people ask what I’m wearing. They are surprised to learn I’m wearing essential oils and not an expensive perfume!
• If you don’t have magnolia essential oil, try another floral scent. A lot of people really love ylang ylang, geranium, or rose. Experiment by pairing your favorite floral with the citrus combination listed below and see what magic happens!

The Dangers of Synthetic Fragrances

Synthetic fragrances are the main ingredient in most room sprays. The chemicals that make up these fragrances tend to fly under the radar because they aren’t individually labeled. Instead, any combination of over 4000 ingredients can make up an “artificial fragrance” blend. There isn’t a lot of accountability where fragrances are concerned. Companies don’t have to disclose what elements they include in their formulas, thanks to the FDA’s Fair Packaging and Labeling Act.

Every person has a unique tolerance for synthetic fragrances, but most people find that at least one type of fragrance affects them negatively. If you suffer from migraines, you may want to look at what products you’re using. Researchers found that scented products triggered headaches in many of their patients. If you can’t find a solution for your migraines, I recommend eliminating all scented products to see if that does the trick!

Aside from headaches, synthetic fragrances can cause skin irritations that range from a slight rash to severe eczema. These reactions may seem small, but they’re the body’s way of warning you to eliminate certain things from your home. The body has a way of telling the brain what things it needs, and with so many fragrance elements being known carcinogens, it’s time to stop and listen!

Room Spray With Essential Oils Ingredients

Instead of harmful synthetic fragrances, this recipe uses one of God’s greatest gifts to man, essential oils. There’s no need to use fake fragrances when essential oils do the trick, toxin-free!

Magnolia Essential Oil: One day, I was experimenting with different floral and citrus combinations. I added a few drops of magnolia to my citrus-inspired concoction, and I was blown away! Magnolia essential oil gives my home a calm feeling, and it smells exotic. I know you’ll be glad you added this EO to your stash.

Key Lime Essential Oil: Key limes have a few things that make them different from regular limes. For one, key limes are usually smaller and have more seeds. You’ll find key lime as the component that makes up most lime essential oils because its scent is more robust. Lime EO is rich in d-limonene, which can help your body process stress in healthy ways.

Lemon Essential Oil: This fresh-smelling EO is a favorite for cleaning products because it leaves a room smelling brand new! Aside from purifying the air, a spritz of lemon essential oil can help you sleep better. Who said citrus oils were just for daytime?

Blood Orange Essential Oil: Any type of orange essential oil is fantastic in this DIY, but we prefer using blood orange for its distinct, strong scent. You’ll love the sweet note it brings to this room spray.

Purified or Distilled Water: Whenever possible, I recommend that you use purified water, even in your DIYs. This is because tap water has been linked to many different illnesses, including congenital birth disabilities, obesity, and more.

Alcohol: This ingredient helps the essential oils to disperse and dissolve into the mixture evenly. Everyone knows that oil and water just don’t mix, so you need a go-between to get the best outcome. I recommend using grain alcohol that is at least 190 proof.
