Such a great video. I love making my own products for my small business, and I recently discovered glass stir rods which you’re such a lifesaver. No product at all is wasted, and they can be reused over and over and are sterilized easily.

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

I have this room spray base and I too LOVE it. I used to make mine just like your recipe from before, but ordered this from Midwest because of the odor-eliminating element. Thank you for sharing the new scent you just received too.

[@GG-xz7nv]

I’ve just started testing their room spray base & body mist and even after letting them sit for 2 weeks all I smell is the base in both ? I used the 5% fragrance load… do you know how I can fix this? Thanks

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

@@GG-xz7nv- I have never experienced what you are experiencing. For this base, I use Midwest fragrances - as well as, Makesy, Brambleberry, Morouge Canada and Crafter’s Choice - at 5% fragrance load. I am a shaker so I shake the base before mixing it with the FO, after mixing and then even before I spray it. What brand FO are you using?

[@GG-xz7nv]

@@BellaRayneJewelryCo I used Midwest’s FO and I shake them each time as well, so I’m not sure why the base smell is still so strong either, but I did read other reviews on the base saying they’re also smelling a strong scent from the base too, so I’m confused.

[@BellaRayneJewelryCo]

@@GG-xz7nv - after I responded to your comment, I went and sprayed more in the restroom on the shower curtain and I only smell the base for a few seconds and then the Black Sea fragrance comes through. I just asked our daughter too - she uses them and she is not experiencing a strong base smell. Keep me posted - I am going to keep a close eye out too.

[@GG-xz7nv]

@@BellaRayneJewelryCo Thanks for your feedback. I’ll have to try the Black Sea one. Seems that it’s just certain scents that don’t perform well with it. Others have also said more sweet gourmand bakery/food type scents didn’t work well for them because the odor eliminating ingredient, so I think it may also have something to do with the vanillin percentage in each FO as well as the ingredients each one is made from etc. More testing in my future lol, gotta love it.😅

[@garylock4522]

Thank you for this video, I made the mistake by accident and ordered base from another company, my fault I wasn’t paying attention I did follow your recipe and my room spray had an after smell of the base. So I just ordered the correct base and a scale from your Amazon page.

[@calafiacandleco]

Oh that’s interesting about the after smell! I don’t notice any smells with this base. Thanks for the support! :)

I have watched this video now for like twice and ordered my room spray base from the flaming candle co and had to reorder my bottles as well!! so I have not start to make my room sprays so the question I have is have you ever try the room spray base from the Flaming Candle Co?

Hi are u using fragrance oil to midwest water base? Do theg mix evern if its oil and water?

[@julierowdon3631]

I was using your homemade with the polysorbate 20. Im just curious why you went to the premade base. What are rhe pros and cons in your expert opinion? Thank you so much for sharing AND your expertise. ♥️

[@calafiacandleco]

I would say the pros are how quick and easy it is to use, the clear formula, that it’s also an odor eliminator, and I do find the scent to last longer. The cons would be that you go through it fast. One 16oz bottle of the base will only make four 4oz sprays, so you do have to bulk up on the base if you’re going to be making a lot.

[@Recon8082]

Thank you for the video this was very helpful, also do you know the shelf life of the product once combined?

[@calafiacandleco]

You’re so welcome! The manufacturer of the base states 6-12 month shelf life.

Can you explain how you use Canva and Maestro? If you use Canva can’t you just print them without needed a label designer? Also, thanks for this informative video!

You need to use the label designer because it has the templates figured out for printing. If you just printed from Canva, they most likely won't be aligned correct with the labels on the sheet.

Hi there. You would just use the same idea but swap out the 4oz for 2. Convert to grams if you wish. So, if you choose to do 5% fragrance load, you would multiply .05 x 2oz to get the amount of fragrance you would need.

Hey, new subbie...I have a couple of questions. Is the preservative already added to the pre-mixed base? And how long does room sprays normally last after made 🤔?

[@calafiacandleco]

Hello! Yes, you don't need to add anything to the base. That's a great question and I don't know that I have the best answer for that. I would say probably a year or so, as most fragrance oil companies will say their fragrance oils have a shelf life of about a year. I've also read that oils can stay good for two years or longer if stored in a dark, cool place.
