Share
Spring is the season when everything seems to come back to life. We clean, we reorganize, we lighten up... but why not take advantage of it to refresh the air naturally , with scents that evoke light, freshness, and simplicity?
At Essanzia, we believe that your home deserves to breathe better, too—and our homemade sprays with essential oils are perfect for that. Whether it's to deodorize the kitchen after a good meal, delicately scent the entryway, or restore a clean ambiance to the bathroom, the right blends make all the difference.
Today, we're sharing 3 spring-inspired recipes with you, to pour into your Essanzia continuous sprays (practical, reusable, attractive... and available in stores) or into the very attractive Boston-style bottles!
1. Coastal Breeze – lemon & basil
A simple but ultra-effective mixture for cooking.

- (Optional: 2 drops of spearmint essential oil for an even fresher touch)
