How to Make a Room Spray

Unpleasant odours at home happen, but you don’t have to live with them, especially when room sprays are so easy to make.

Here’s how to make a room spray in perfumers alcohol at 10% to get your home smelling fresh with just one or two sprays

Weigh 10g of your fragrance oil.

Next, weigh 90g of perfumers alcohol. (Your measurements must be taken by weight, not volume because different oils have different densities.)

Mix the fragrance oil and perfumers alcohol together; now you have your room spray.

Depending on your mixture, you might also need to add a small amount of distilled water and an emulsifier or a cosolvent.

Note: Always check the IFRA document for your fragrance oil before making a room spray; section 10B covers manual room sprays.

If you’re selling the room sprays you make, you also need to ensure you have the correct CLP, and because perfumers alcohol is hazardous, you need to create a new CLP for the combination of your base alcohol and your fragrance oil.
