DIY Clove and Cinnamon Room Spray

Creating a DIY room spray with clove essential oil and cinnamon extract can add a warm and spicy fragrance to your living spaces. Here's a simple recipe with measurements for ingredients:

DIY Clove and Cinnamon Room Spray:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup distilled water

- 2 tablespoons witch hazel or vodka (as an emulsifier)

- 20 drops Comfort Street Essentials clove essential oil

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon extract or a few drops of cinnamon essential oil (adjust to your preference)

- Optional: A small amount of vegetable glycerin (for added longevity of the fragrance)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

- In a measuring cup or bowl, combine 1 cup of distilled water and 2 tablespoons of witch hazel or vodka. The alcohol content in the witch hazel or vodka helps to disperse the essential oil and extract in the water.

2. Add Clove Essential Oil:

- Add 20 drops of clove essential oil to the water and alcohol mixture. Adjust the number of drops based on your preference for the strength of the scent.

3. Incorporate Cinnamon Extract or Oil:

- Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon extract or a few drops of cinnamon essential oil to the mixture. Cinnamon is potent, so a little goes a long way. Adjust the amount based on your desired intensity.

4. Optional: Add Vegetable Glycerin:

- If you want the fragrance to linger in the air for a more extended period, you can add a small amount of vegetable glycerin (about 1-2 teaspoons).

5. Mix Well:

- Stir or shake the mixture well to ensure the essential oil, extract, and glycerin (if using) are thoroughly combined.

6. Pour into a Spray Bottle:

- Using a funnel, pour the room spray mixture into a clean and empty spray bottle.

7. Shake Before Each Use:

- Before each use, shake the bottle well to ensure the ingredients are properly mixed.

How to Use:

- Spray the DIY room spray into the air to freshen up your living spaces. Avoid spraying directly onto fabrics or surfaces, as essential oils can stain.

Note: Always perform a patch test when using essential oils and extracts to ensure you don't have any adverse reactions. If you have specific health concerns, consult with a healthcare professional before using essential oils. Adjust the number of drops and extract based on your preferences and sensitivities.
