Choosing the Right Room Spray: The Secrets You Need to Know

Room sprays are widely marketed, but how much do you really know about them? Room sprays offer a definite everyday benefit. They are quick and easy to use, instantly transforming your rooms into a fragrant haven!

What is a room spray?

A room spray, also known as an indoor fragrance spray, consists of a bottle (usually glass) fitted with a device connected to a pump that draws the fragrance from the bottle and sprays it in the form of micro-droplets. The device is mechanical (so it requires human intervention) but it is very simple to use and has the advantage of not requiring an electrical connection or batteries to diffuse the scent.

Its capacity can vary (at Estéban, it ranges between 75 and 100 ml) but it usually remains limited, to maintain the product's nomadic aspect. Indeed, the spray comes with a cap that allows for easy transport, and its small size (discovery formats can be as small as 30ml) makes it space-saving. You can easily slip it into your suitcase, handbag, or toiletries bag, to find the comforting scent of home wherever you travel.

Last but not least: the room spray allows you to adjust the intensity of the fragrance at will. A few sprays are usually enough to perfume the atmosphere, but you have the freedom to repeat the gesture and adjust the number of uses as you wish. For precise and tailor-made fragrancing!

How and where to use a room spray?

To fragrance your interior with a scented spray, simply press the button 2 to 3 times towards the ceiling (always more than 30cm away from surrounding objects; let's not forget that the fragrance is formulated on an alcoholic base). For an optimal experience, we recommend repeating the operation 3 to 4 times a day. Thanks to daily use, the fragrance will envelop curtains, cushions, and surrounding textiles within a few days. Think of your guests when they enter your home, sniffing fresh and soothing scents... a lovely welcome gift!

But don't forget yourself either. The room spray is primarily intended for personal pleasure. Many scents exist, and among them, you'll surely find one you can't live without. Scented sprays completely change the ambiance of a home and give it an olfactory signature that you can revive at will. After a bit of cleaning, spraying a fruity or woody scent into the air adds a "finishing touch" that creates a real sense of freshness and cleanliness in the house.

All rooms in your home can be fragranced. From the dining room to the kitchen, bedroom, living room, and of course, the bathroom and toilets. For scent selection, there's something for every taste and desire. But if you'd like a little help, here are our suggestions:

• In the entrance hall: fresh and woody scents are ideal for transitioning from outside and creating a feeling of freshness and lightness right from the entrance.
• In the living room: a soft floral or amber scent can contribute to a warm, cozy, and pleasant atmosphere.
• For your kitchen: fruity and sweet scents are of course welcome to continue making this room a gourmet space, but fresh and intense scents can also be used to counteract cooking odors.
• In the office: fresh and citrusy fragrances will be welcome to promote your creativity and energy.
• In the bedroom: why not choose soft aromatic scents such as linen, orange, or mint, to create a relaxing atmosphere?
• For the bathroom: powdery and musky scents will bring softness and comfort, while fresh or clean floral fragrances will offer the sensation of a "healthy" atmosphere.

It's up to each person to create their olfactory ambiance according to the season or their current desires. Some like the same fragrance to circulate throughout the house, while others appreciate having a unique scent for each space. Still others only fragrance certain rooms.

Regarding the number of sprays needed to fragrance your interior, adjust it to the size of the room (the number of sprays needed will not be the same for a hallway as for a 30m2 living room) and always in a regularly ventilated interior.

Choosing the right room spray for your home

Perfumers' catalogues are often extensive and offer more or less creative and original scent combinations. Why not test how a perfume house has interpreted concepts as varied as textiles (linen, cashmere, cotton), landscapes (Canadian forests, oriental desert, Japanese garden, in particular) or non-odorous ingredients (aloe, salt, etc.)? Moreover, nothing prevents you from choosing several to vary the pleasures…
