This is the most exquisite room spray available anywhere. We tend to shy away from idle boasts so here’s the back-story. Most room sprays and products like, um, Febreze, cover up unpleasant odors with a blast of chemicals. In contrast, our room sprays actually neutralize odors, a function of both the sterilizing effect of the alcohol and the powerful air cleansing effect of all-natural plant oils, the only fragrance we use. In other words, we use the same technique top perfumers do to preserve and then atomize the clean crisp burst of fragrance from our proprietary blends of flowers, herbs and plant essences. When compared with Williams-Sonoma’s room spray, which is made with artificial fragrance and costs $28 per bottle, ours is also a value.
But neutralizing unpleasant odors in the kitchen or bath is just one aspect of why it’s nice to have these sprays around. We don't make a big deal about the value of aromatherapy because too many people think it's hooky-spooky San Francisco B.S. and we just don't have the time or energy to argue. I was one of those skeptics until I experienced the mood-lifting effects firsthand.
Everyone's brain chemistry is different, so the scent(s) that work best for you will be a completely personal issue. There's tons of information on the internet, and lots of people make generalizations about the character of various essential oils (e.g. "lavender is energizing") but we don't tend to buy into that approach. We do sell about 10 times as much Signature scent (in room spray and pure essential oil) as any other scent so there's something about that essential oil combination that is potent, while during the winter, we can't keep enough of our citrus-based sprays (Citrus, Sweetgrass and our holidays-only Hearth scent), probably because so many of us are craving the scent of summer sunshine.
4oz/118ml
Choose Signature, Citrus, Sweetgrass, Spa or Blossomwood.
SIGNATURE is our most popular home scent. French lavender makes it calming and restorative, but the Washington peppermint and Tunisian rosemary give it clean, fresh, bracing notes to which both men and women are drawn.
CITRUS is our rarest, most subtle home scent, composed of California pink grapefruit, and lemon and bergamot from Italy. Most citrus scents are too bright and sweet; by adding bergamot, the scarce citrus fruit that flavors Earl Grey tea, we’ve achieved a fragrant, harmonious balance that citrus aficionados adore.
SWEETGRASS is our most complex home scent, in which we balance the springlike freshness of Italian lemon and Indian lemongrass with the woodsiness of Moroccan cedar and finish with a note of rose geranium from China. It’s an aromatic scent that recalls the perfect warm summer evening—lush, romantic, enveloping.
BLOSSOMWOOD is composed of floral and citrus top notes with a woodsy bottom note for balance and staying power. The "magic ingredient" in this blend is called Petitgrain, steam-distilled from the leaves and bark rather than the blossoms of the orange tree. The overall blend, unlike anything else available, is redolent of plum blossoms, Neroli and jacaranda wood.
SPA is composed of Australian eucalyptus, California lemon and Washington mint, redolent of our favorite (oh so decadent) Napa Valley spa. It is clean, fresh and slightly astringent, so it perks up even the most dismal day—or surroundings.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Spritz in the air to clear smoke or other unpleasant odors from the air, or simply to create a breathtaking fragrance just before guests arrive or when you need a lift yourself.
INGREDIENTS: Pure grain alcohol, essential oil.
