Create your own refillable vaporizers
Making a pillow mist or room spray is a simple and practical way to perfume your interior, your vehicle seats, but especially your textiles such as curtains or your cushions.
Whether it is to create a relaxing atmosphere, freshen your textiles or perfume the ambient air, each recipe responds to a specific use and is notably very different from traditional capillary diffusers.
What is the difference between a textile mist and a room spray?
At Terre de bougies, we consider it essential to clearly differentiate between these two types of preparations:
- Room spray: designed to perfume the ambient air, it should not be applied to delicate textiles due to the presence of oil-based perfumes, which may stain.
- Textile mist: formulated to perfume linen and fabrics, it uses a softer base accompanied by demineralized water, and can include a responsible preservative for better durability.
Our recipe for scented spray
A room spray is perfect for perfuming your room with all the fragrances in our range for candles, melts and diffusers. The advantage is that you have a considerable choice of fragrances, but these are not optimal.
The spray may cause stains on your textiles or sensitive surfaces. You should also refer to the maximum dosage allowed by the IFRA certificate for sale.
In this case, we recommend this recipe as a basis, to be adjusted according to IFRA and your tests:
- 10% candle fragrance
- 90% Augeo base
Follow IFRA recommendations (category 10B) to ensure safe and sale-compliant dosage. The certificate is available on each perfume sheet.
Pour all ingredients into a spray bottle, mix thoroughly and shake before each use. Spray into the air, avoiding sensitive surfaces and textiles.
Our tips for a successful textile mist
Perfume your sheets, curtains or clothes without staining them, while using a much lower dosage. To do this, it is important to follow the mixing steps carefully by following the recipe. The preservative will easily double the shelf life of your mist, but is optional.
- 3% perfume for mists
- 2% Hebeatol preservative (optional)
- 95% demineralized water
First add the preservative with the fragrance, then add the demineralized water, mixing gently. You will obtain a homogeneous and unclouded mixture.
You can slightly heat the perfume (maximum 30°C) before adding it. Be aware, however, that the preservative is subject to UFI.
- Always shake the bottle before use to homogenize the preparation.
- Spray lightly on linens, pillows or curtains.
Conclusion
Ultimately, creating your own room spray or linen mist allows you to control the composition and scent of each preparation. The key lies in the balance of ingredients and respecting the dosages.
