Why adopt rosemary spray?
Rosemary is valued for its fresh, slightly invigorating, and herbaceous scent. Sprayed in fine mists in a living room, office, or entryway, it helps create a pleasant, clean atmosphere conducive to well-being. This homemade preparation also appeals for its simplicity: it requires few ingredients, can be prepared without complex equipment, and easily integrates into a natural home routine.
Without aiming to make it a remedy, it can certainly be considered a perfuming ambient gesture, ideal for accompanying a moment of reading, working, tidying, or relaxing.
Necessary ingredients
- Rosemary
- Water
- 95° household alcohol
- A clean, resealable glass container
- A spray bottle for final use
The right proportions
The base of the recipe is very simple: 50% water and 50% 95° household alcohol. This proportion allows for a solution suitable for macerating rosemary before spraying it into the ambient air.
Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1 — Prepare the container.
Choose a clean, dry, and practical glass container large enough to hold both the rosemary and the liquid. A jar or a wide-mouthed bottle can work.
Step 2 — Add the rosemary.
Place the rosemary in the glass container. There's no need to pack it too tightly: the important thing is to allow the liquid to circulate properly around the stems or leaves.
Step 3 — Pour the liquid mixture.
Prepare your base with 50% water and 50% 95° household alcohol, then pour it into the container until the rosemary is covered.
Step 4 — Let it macerate.
Close the container and let the preparation rest for 3 weeks at room temperature. It is recommended not to place the mixture in the refrigerator. This resting period allows the preparation to develop quietly.
Step 5 — Filter if necessary.
After three weeks, you can filter the solution if you want a clearer result, especially before transferring it to the spray bottle.
Step 6 — Transfer to a mister bottle.
Then pour your preparation into a clean spray bottle. It is at this stage that using a good mister makes all the difference: the diffusion is more regular, finer, and much more pleasant for daily use.
