Travel Hacks: Scents That Work Twice as Hard

Multi-Purpose Room Sprays: Use room sprays to freshen up not just your living spaces but also luggage, linens, and even car interiors. For luggage, lightly spritz the interior fabric lining with a room spray of your choice, taking care to avoid any sensitive materials like leather or suede. Alternatively, spray a small piece of fabric or tissue, let it dry, and place it inside your suitcase pockets for a long-lasting aroma. To create a DIY scented suitcase liner, use plain paper or fabric cut to fit your suitcase. Spray it evenly with your chosen scent and allow it to dry completely before lining your suitcase – this adds a subtle fragrance to clothes and keeps them smelling fresh throughout your travels. Why not try a few spritzes of Bamboo & Ginger Lily Room Spray, with its soothing aloe top note, and turn your travelling journey into a sensory escape.

Take plain sheets of paper or fabric that fit the drawers of your bedside table or hotel room drawers. Lightly spray the paper or fabric with your favourite room spray, ensuring it’s not overly damp. Let it dry completely before placing it in the drawers. This simple hack keeps your clothes fresh and subtly scented all through your holiday.

Luggage Freshening: Mist the interior of your luggage with a room spray before packing. For long-term freshness, spritz a cotton ball or small cloth and tuck it into an inside pocket. This will continuously release a pleasant aroma without over-saturating your items.

Car Aromas: Transform your vehicle into a refreshing escape. Use room sprays to freshen up car interiors by spritzing lightly on fabric surfaces or air vents. For a longer-lasting effect, spray a reusable cloth and hang it near the air circulation system.

Pet-Friendly Freshening: Travelling with pets? Freshen up pet carriers or travel beds by spraying the outer surfaces with room spray. Ensure the spray is pet-safe and avoid direct contact with your furry friend’s belongings.

Using Essential Oils: Essential oils are another excellent way to add a personalised touch to your travel routine without applying them directly to your skin. Here are some ideas:

Scented Cotton Balls: Add a few drops of our uplifting Lemon Bliss essential oil onto a cotton ball or pad, then place it inside a breathable pouch. Tuck this pouch into your suitcase or travel bag for a natural and fruity long-lasting fragrance.

DIY Room Spray: If you have a travel-sized spray bottle, mix a few drops of essential oil with water and shake well. Use this mixture to lightly mist your surroundings, such as hotel curtains or bedding (ensure the fabric won’t stain).DIY Scented Drawer Liners: Enhance your hotel bedroom with fragrant drawer liners. Here’s how to make your own:
