Not long ago, I wrote about uses for essential oils and how I rely on them to help me get through the challenging winter season. Since then, I’ve been busy stocking up and experimenting with new aromatic essential oils for the home and homemade air fresheners, linen sprays and mists.
There’s one new blend that I’m finding particularly lovely, but I wanted to use it for a few days before sharing just to make sure it really worked after it had a chance to sit and round out for a few days. I’m happy to report that I’m still using it daily, and since the kids like it, too, it’s destined to be a keeper!
Mist it on curtains, pillows, or as an uplifting room spray.
DIY Jasmine Lemongrass Linen Spray
Lemongrass: sweet, uplifting, refreshing
Jasmine: comforting, passionate, warm
Comforting and refreshing, warm and uplifting – the perfect combination to combat those dreary winter days.
You’ll need:
- 2 oz distilled water
- scant 1/4 teaspoon vodka
- 5 drops lemongrass essential oil (the top note)
- 3 drops jasmine essential oil (the middle note)
- 2 oz. glass spray bottle
Mix ingredients together in bottle; shake to blend. Store in a cool, dark area.
- Since oils and water don’t mix, the vodka is essential to help the oils disperse more effectively.
- Tip: for an even better blend that stays dispersed with less need to shake often, add a drop or two of lecithin.
- For an extra comforting blend that wraps you in a bit of sweetness, substitute pure vanilla extract for the vodka. (The vanilla can also serve as the base note in your blend.)
- Essential oil blends often take a few days to fully meld, round out and release the true fragrance of the blend. Give your new blend a few days before you decide if you love it or not.
- Since light and plastics can break down and damage essential oils, it’s best to always store your blends in dark glass bottles. (I use these 2oz Cobalt Blue Glass Spray Bottles
.)

I bet that smells amazing. I want to try some of this.
So far I’ve just been using peppermint oil for headaches. I have several though and need to find more mixes like this. Love the tip of the twine too, not that I’ve broken glass in the bathroom or anything! 😉

This combo just sounds amazing so I can imagine it’s absolutely amazing. The only essential oil I currently own is Lavender so I’ll have to expand on my scents.
I love essential oils. They smell so great!
