What You Need to Make DIY Room Spray

Items needed for DIY Room Spray Recipe: Distilled water, vodka, and essential oils

Affiliate links may be used. Please see our advertising disclosure for more information.

  • Vodka
  • Distilled Water- I highly recommend using distilled water vs. tap water because tap water contains natural impurities that can cause bacteria growth over time.
  • 15 drops Essential Oil- Not sure where to buy essential oils? Check out this post.
  • Glass Measuring Cup
  • 4 oz Glass Spray Bottle (These are the ones I used)- When using essential oils, it’s always best to use glass containers for storage because some essential oils will eat through plastic.


How to Make DIY Room Freshener with Essential Oils

Adding essential oil to DIY Room Spray

Combine 1 oz. vodka with 15 drops of essential oil in a glass measuring cup. Mix thoroughly. Then add 3 oz. distilled water and stir to combine. Last thing is to pour the mixture into a glass spray bottle. Done.

During the winter months, I love combining Cinnamon (4-5 drops), Orange (6 drops), and Spruce (4-5 drops) for a warm spicy scent.

For the warmer months, try a combination of Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint (5 drops of each) or Grapefruit, Lavender, and Cedarwood (5 drops each).

You can also create a customizable label if you’d like… or purchase one premade.

When you are ready to use, make sure you shake the bottle a bit as the oil will naturally separate from the water. Spritz a few times into the air, and you’ll experience the delightful scent of whichever essential oil combination you choose to use.

    I saw you on a talk show one morning during the holidays. Your Room Spray Formula is awesome! It was a hit at the Galentine’s Night with my Best friend & God Daughter. We made our own fragrances & made gifts for Valentine’s the next day. I love your site.

    Hi Erin,
    I was wondering since there isn’t a big amount of essential oil in it, is it ok if I just use clear bottles?
    Thank you,

    Gloria

    Dumb question Erin…….How much will it matter if that I didn’t follow the order of ingredients the way you showed?? I wasn’t paying close attention and I mixed my vodka and distilled water and then my oil. Did I ruin it ?? I still mixed it very well, but I want to make sure I didn’t goof. LOL Thanks ! Janette

      The reason I use vodka is because it doesn’t have any smell. You can substitute witch hazel, but know that it does have a bit of a smell that could affect scent of the spray a bit.
