How To Make A Room Spray
A refillable spray bottle of your favourite scent, ready in three minutes. Here's exactly how, and which base to choose for the finish you want.
Welcome
The Fastest Home Fragrance Project
If you've ever wished a room could smell exactly like your favourite candle without lighting it, this is the project for you. Room sprays take three minutes to make, last for months, and let you carry your favourite fragrance into every corner of the house.
We make two bases. The right one depends on whether you want a soft scent or a strong one, and whether you mind a slight cloudy finish. We'll walk you through both.
Choose Your Base
Signature Or Luxe?
Both make beautiful room sprays. The differences come down to fragrance strength, clarity, and a touch of ethanol.
Everyday option
Signature Room Spray Base
Soft scent · cloudy finish OK
Designed to load a small amount of fragrance for optimal everyday scent. Cloudy when used with high-vanillin fragrances, which is normal and doesn't affect performance.

Mister cap
Gold, black, silver, or rose gold. Twist on the bottle and you're ready to spray. All our mister caps fit our 100ml bottles.
Shop mister capsMethod one
Signature Room Spray
Three steps, three minutes. The simplest way to make a room spray at home.
Signature Method
Best for soft, everyday scent. Cloudy with high-vanillin fragrances - that's normal.
02
Add fragrance
Add 1ml of your chosen fragrance oil. Stir thoroughly until fully combined.
Heads up: Signature Base can go cloudy with high-vanillin fragrances. Doesn't affect performance, but if a crystal-clear spray matters to you, use Luxe Base (below) instead.
03
Pour and seal
Pour the mixture into your 100ml spray bottle and twist on the mister cap. Shake, spray, and enjoy.
Method two
Luxe Room Spray
A little more involved, but with stronger scent throw and a clear finish regardless of fragrance.
Luxe Method
Best for stronger, longer-lasting sprays. Contains ethanol - work in a well-ventilated area.
01
Prepare your workspace
Set up in a well-ventilated space, away from tarnished surfaces. Luxe Base contains ethanol, which can affect some metal finishes.
Safety: ethanol is flammable. Work away from open flames and heat sources. Keep the bottle sealed when not in use.
02
Measure your base
Pour 80-95ml of Luxe Room Spray Base into a clean pouring jug. Use less base for a stronger spray, more for a softer one.
Tip: if you're new to Luxe Base, start with 90ml base + 10ml fragrance. You can adjust from there based on what you smell after a few days of curing.
03
Add fragrance
Add 5-20ml of your chosen fragrance oil (the rest of your 100ml total). Stir thoroughly for 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
04
Pour and seal
Pour the mixture into your 100ml spray bottle, leaving a small gap at the top. Twist on the mister cap.
05
Let it settle, then enjoy
Give the spray 24-48 hours to settle before first use - the fragrance fully integrates with the ethanol carrier during this time, giving you the best scent throw on first spray.
Care tip: shake gently before each use. Spray about 30cm above head height so the mist disperses evenly without wetting surfaces.
When things go sideways
Troubleshooting
Common room spray issues and how to fix them.
My Signature spray has gone cloudy
What's happening: totally normal. Signature Base goes cloudy with fragrances that contain vanillin (very common in vanilla, caramel, and gourmand scents).
Fix: the cloudiness doesn't affect how the spray performs - it still smells great. If clarity matters (e.g. gifting), switch to Luxe Base which stays clear with any fragrance.
The spray doesn't smell strong enough
What's happening: if you used Signature Base, the 1% fragrance load is designed for soft everyday scent. If you used Luxe and went with 5%, that's the lower end.
Fix: for stronger sprays, switch to Luxe Base and go with 15-20% fragrance load. Or spray more freely - a single pump of a soft spray won't fill a room, but 3-4 pumps will.
The mister cap isn't spraying properly
What's happening: usually a clogged nozzle or air bubble.
Fix: first, pump the cap several times - sometimes it just needs to prime. If still clogged, unscrew the cap, rinse the nozzle under warm water, and let it dry before re-attaching. If the issue persists, the cap may be defective and we'll replace it.
Can I use Luxe Base for body spray?
Luxe Base is designed for room sprays, not body application. For body sprays and perfumes, use our Perfume Base instead - it's formulated for skin contact, with the right ethanol grade and fragrance loading guidelines for personal use.
How long should a room spray last?
A 100ml room spray typically lasts 3-6 months with daily use of a few pumps. Both bases keep well in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight - so don't worry about your spray "going off" between uses.
