Share
In this room spray care guide, discover how to get the most from your No.38 luxury room sprays — from how and where to spray, to storage tips, safety advice, and expert fragrance tricks. Our premium room sprays are crafted to instantly refresh and uplift any space with long-lasting, travel-inspired scent. With proper care, every bottle will perform beautifully from first spray to last.
How Do Room Sprays Work?
Room sprays work by dispersing fine fragrance particles into the air, which settle across soft furnishings, curtains, and the surrounding atmosphere. Unlike reed diffusers or candles, room sprays deliver an instant hit of scent — perfect for freshening a space before guests arrive or simply lifting your mood throughout the day.
Room Spray Care Guide Tip 1 — How to Use Room Sprays Effectively
Getting the most from your room spray is all about technique and placement:
- Spray 1–3 times towards the centre of the room or into corners for even fragrance distribution
- Hold the bottle 30–40cm away from soft furnishings when misting fabrics such as cushions or curtains
- Avoid spraying directly onto polished wood, leather, electronics, or delicate fabrics
- For a subtle all-day scent, lightly mist your soft furnishings in the morning
- Always test on a small, inconspicuous area before spraying near any delicate surface
A little goes a long way with our No.38 room sprays — the low evaporation formula is designed to linger, so 1–2 sprays is often enough for a standard-sized room.
Room Spray Care Guide Tip 2 — The Best Rooms to Use Room Sprays In
Room sprays are incredibly versatile and work beautifully throughout the home:
- Hallways and entrances — create an immediate welcoming impression for guests
- Living rooms — layer with a reed diffuser for a deeper, more complex scent profile
- Bedrooms — spritz onto pillows or curtains before bed for a calming, sleep-enhancing atmosphere
- Bathrooms — a quick spray instantly freshens the space between cleans
- Home offices — energising scents like citrus or lemongrass can help with focus and productivity
Room Spray Care Guide Tip 3 — How to Store Room Sprays
Proper storage preserves the integrity of your fragrance and extends the life of the product:
- Keep bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Avoid storing near radiators, ovens, or open flames
- Always store upright to prevent leakage around the nozzle
- Ensure the cap is tightly closed when not in use
- Use within 12 months of opening for the best fragrance quality
UV light and heat are the main enemies of fragrance — both can cause the scent molecules to break down faster, resulting in a weaker or altered smell over time.
Room Spray Care Guide Tip 4 — How to Layer Room Sprays with Other Home Fragrance
For a truly immersive home fragrance experience, room sprays work beautifully alongside other No.38 products:
- Pair a room spray with a matching reed diffuser in the same scent for a deeper, longer-lasting fragrance
- Use a room spray as a quick refresh between lighting your luxury scented candle
- Create a signature scent by layering complementary fragrances — for example, a floral room spray with a woody candle
Room Spray Safety
- Keep out of reach of children and pets
- Do not ingest — for external, environmental use only
- Avoid spraying near eyes, nose, or directly onto skin
- Use in well-ventilated spaces
- Keep away from open flames — room sprays are flammable
- Do not puncture or incinerate the bottle
Why Proper Room Spray Care Matters
- Maintains the full fragrance quality and intensity throughout the bottle's life
- Prolongs shelf life and prevents premature evaporation
- Ensures safe, pleasant use in your home
- Protects furniture, fabrics, and surfaces from potential oil residue
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I use my room spray?
Use as often as you like to refresh your space. 1–3 sprays per room is usually sufficient. For a continuous fragrance experience, use alongside a reed diffuser.
Can I spray room spray directly on my bed or sofa?
Yes — lightly misting soft furnishings like cushions, curtains, or bedding is a great way to extend the fragrance. Always test on a small area first and avoid saturating delicate or dry-clean-only fabrics.
How long does a No.38 room spray last after opening?
For best results, use within 12 months of opening. Store correctly in a cool, dark place to preserve the fragrance quality for as long as possible.
Are room sprays safe around children and pets?
Use responsibly — keep sprays out of reach of children and pets, avoid spraying near their bedding or feeding areas, and ensure the room is well ventilated during use.
Can I use room spray in my car?
Yes — a single spray into the interior works well. Avoid spraying onto the dashboard, screen, or any electronics. Ensure the windows are open briefly after spraying.
What's the difference between a room spray and a reed diffuser?
A room spray provides an instant burst of fragrance and is ideal for refreshing a space quickly. A reed diffuser provides slow, continuous background scent over several months. Many of our customers use both together for the best results.
