We’re in this timeframe where it’s still winter, but Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and so is spring. If you already make your cleaning products yourself, let’s create a warm vanilla scent for this season. Each spray and scrub gives your home a cozy vanilla vibe while safely cleaning your home. Everything seen here can be bought from my shop – read on for the links.
I have 4 simple vanilla fragrance combinations that I can share with you – you can choose one, try all of them, or develop your own vanilla fragrance.
VANILLA SCENT COMBINATIONS
ORANGE CREAMSICLE
Sweet Orange + Vanilla – use a 2: 1 ratio
SWEET LEMON + LAVENDER
Lemon + Lavender + Vanilla – use a 3: 2: 1 ratio
LIME MERINGUE CAKE
Use lemon + vanilla + bergamot – ratio 3: 2: 1
SWEET CITRUS MINT
