How to scent your home with lavender: 3 simple steps

Spray, slip in a sachet, diffuse gently: three ways to scent your home with lavender, with the precautions to know.

01 / Spray

First step: the room fragrance

It is the quickest: a 100 ml spray, and the room is scented straight away. The Provence lavender room fragrance contains lavandin oil, alcohol and water (the full list is given on its product page).

How to do it

Spray two to three times in the room, from a good distance. You can also, very lightly, scent fabrics (curtains, cushions, bedding), after a test on a small area of the fabric. Repeat as you wish: there is no set dose.

A precaution

The fragrance contains alcohol: its page states it is flammable. Do not spray it near a flame, a lit candle or a heat source, and keep the bottle out of the reach of children.

02 / Slip in

Second step: the lavender sachet

The sachet works continuously and without you doing anything. Our pack brings together three sachets of Provence lavender and lavandin flowers, in polka-dot bags with a wooden ring and a ribbon for hanging.

Where to put them

  • In a wardrobe or dressing room: hung from a rail or a hanger, to scent the linen;
  • In a drawer: slipped among the linen, for a more discreet diffusion;
  • In the car: hung from the rear-view mirror or a handle.

Making it last

Avoid prolonged contact with water or humidity, which alters the scent, and do not open the sachet. Press it gently from time to time: this revives the diffusion. When the scent fades, replace it. Keep it out of the reach of young children (small parts: ring, ribbon, flowers).

03 / Diffuse

Third step: slow diffusion

For a scent that lasts in a room, the 40 g lavender and lavandin sachet comes with a plaster diffuser, designed to diffuse essential oils slowly. You add lavandin essential oil to it.

The precautions for an essential oil

An essential oil is concentrated. The pages of our essential oils remind you never to use it undiluted on the skin, not to swallow it, to keep it out of the reach of children and not to use it for pregnant or breastfeeding women and young children. Read the product page before using it.

Another diffuser: the car

For the car, our Provence lavender diffuser is a glass bottle with a ceramic stopper and an adjustable cord to hang from the rear-view mirror. Always keep it upright, away from any flame.

04 / Combine

All three together?

You do not have to do everything at once. One step is enough to start: the spray for an immediate result, the sachet for something discreet, the diffuser for a lasting presence. Simply keep the same scent in rooms that connect, for a consistent result.
