 Additional Information

This is a great starting recipe and some modifications could certainly be made to get your ideal results. For example, if you'd like your room spray to smell more potent, you could add more fragrance oil (assuming the level of fragrance oil does not exceed the IFRA maximum concentration level) and add less perfumers alcohol or witch hazel to compensate. We have not tested changing the percentage or perfumery alcohol or witch hazel in this recipe. Any modifications would need to be further tested by you, the creator before use or selling.

Perfumery alcohol fills multiple purposes in this recipe. It acts as a carrier, helping to dilute the fragrance oil so it is safe for use. It also helps to prevent the room spray mixture from spoiling. And finally, it evaporates quickly when warmed, helping to carry the scent of your fragrance oil with it as it dissipates into the air. Perfumery alcohol is widely used in commercially-prepared perfumery formulations.

Witch hazel has antimicrobial properties and helps to preserve your room spray mixture. It also helps bind the mixture between the alcohol and fragrance oil together. Finally, it helps the scent linger longer by ensuring it does not evaporate too quickly.
