It smells like deeper citrus with a warm dry wood note. It is less candy-sweet than a plain orange room spray.
Yes. Sweet orange will make the spray brighter and more cheerful, while blood orange gives a richer aroma.
It is better as an air spray. If you use it near fabric, spot test first and avoid spraying pillows or sheets directly.
Frankincense adds a smooth resinous note that helps the blood orange and cedarwood smell more balanced.
Natural room sprays are light and temporary. The aroma may last from a few minutes to an hour depending on the room and ventilation.
You can add a few extra drops, but keep room sprays moderate and always shake well before use.
