Everyone likes to smell good.  I used to love to buy scented body lotions, body sprays, and perfumes…it was a sort of collection for me! But after I jumped on the natural bandwagon, I felt like I had to let a lot of that stuff go.  Luckily, I’ve been able to recreate some of my favorite scents using essential oils! Score!

You can use any combination of scents that you like. I just shared my vanilla and lavender blend because it’s my favorite. Some of my other favorite ones include grapefruit/ylang ylang and lavender/bergamot. My husband loves the combination of vanilla and sandalwood.  But if you’re struggling to come up with your own unique scent, here’s a great guide to blending essential oils.

Example Ingredients:

Steps:

1. Combine the water and witch hazel into a small mixing bowl.

2. Add in your essential oils of choice and grapefruit seed extract (if using) and mix super well until combined.

3. Before the oils and water have a chance to separate, transfer your body spray to a spray bottle.

4. Shake well before using.

I would suggest using this spray within a couple weeks.  If you don’t use enough of it to finish the recipe in that time, I would either suggest keeping it in the fridge or halving the recipe.
