Spa Retreat Fragrance Oil Showcase
VINEVIDA’s Spa Retreat Fragrance oil makes you think of being enveloped in a super soft fluffy bathrobe at your favorite spa.
The scent of apples on the juice bar mingle with the Lemongrass cooler in your hand as you recline next to the pool. The air is heady with the lilacs that grow next to the open windows and fill the air with their beautiful aroma. It’s a pure moment of relaxation and utter bliss.
As you step into the sauna, the scent of Cedarwood and the soft musk of Patchouli invites you to surrender into the soft, warm steam. To relax, let go and just be.
Spa Retreat Fragrance Oil is all about the relaxation of the Spa experience. It has that bright and delicious fresh apple start, mingled with the citrus zing of Lemongrass. The heart of the fragrance is the delightful intense floral fragrance that you expect from the lilacs but an extra unexpected twist of the Patchouli. It deepens down into the woody warmth of Cedarwood.
This Fragrance Oil begs you to rest a while and take a breath. You know you deserve it!

VINEVIDA’S Favorite Ways To Use Spa Retreat Fragrance Oil
With such a versatile Fragrance Oil its uses are veritably endless and the only limit here is your imagination.
With its bright, fresh, fruity and floral scent, it is absolutely perfect for cold process soaps and for using in toiletries and beauty products.
Apple scents always tend to evoke images of freshness, but also of childhood, transporting us back to simpler times. It’s great for making products designed to transport us away from ourselves and allow ourselves to be pampered and relaxed.
It is a popular choice for scenting the home and makes a good starting point for creating a Signature Home Scent. You can read more about what a Signature Home Scent is and Layering Perfumes In The Home in our article. There is also a plethora of ideas and recipes to get the creative juices flowing too.
Spa Retreat Fragrance Oil lends itself beautifully to making scented candles and reed diffusers and can be blended easily with other fragrance oils for a scent sensation. Its intense fruity and floral fragrance makes it perfect for dining rooms, kitchens and sitting rooms. Not to mention areas of the house where you might welcome people into your home, such as porches and entrance halls.
Personally, I like to mix it with other cool, green fragrance oils, like Cucumber Melon By BBW (Our Version Of) and Bamboo Garden but it also blends wonderfully with Essential Oils like Lemongrass, Grapefruit and Lemon.
We have a version of Spa Retreat Fragrance Oil developed especially for your cold air diffusers too. Find it here.

Ideas For Around the Home
There are so many ways that you can use Spa Retreat Fragrance Oil around the home that I am having to rein myself in. Get your imagination fired up!
Scented Linen Closet
If you are having a special spa day, prepare for the experience by scenting your linen closet so that when you pull your best big fluffy towels and your bathrobe, the scent just unfolds and envelopes you in the spa experience completely.
You can simply apply some of the fragrance oil to a paper towel, a scented sachet or a felt pad, pop them in an open zip lock bag and slide them between your linens. Do take care that the oil does not get transferred to your precious linens.

Scented Linen Sachet
VINEVIDA’s range of Fragrance Oils are perfect for this project and none more so than Spa Retreats Fragrance Oil.
These are perfect for your linen closet, lingerie drawers and for popping into your shoes or handbags for storage.
You will need:
- A selection of Fabric
- A sewing Kit and Scissors
- Hanging Ribbon
- Cotton Wool or Wadding
- Spa Retreat Fragrance Oil
How to:
- Cut out two matching pieces of fabric for your chosen sachet. I suggest a size of 10 x 14 cm to suit a variety of uses.
- Put the wrong sides of the fabric together and pin together.
- Slot in the hanging ribbon at the top of the sachet, so it can be sewn through to secure it in place.
- Leaving half of the bottom edge free, tack lightly with sewing cotton in a bold colored thread, (so you can see it to remove it later).
- Making neat, even stitches, sew the two pieces of fabric together, leaving half of the bottom edge unsewn. Making sure that you have caught the hanging ribbon securely in place.
- Add a button and buttonhole, press stud or a tucked flap as a closure.
- Clip the corners to reduce bulk.
- Turn the fabric so the right side of the fabric shows and press with a flat iron.
- Stuff halfway with cotton wool or wadding and add a few drops of Fragrance Oil.
- Stuff the rest of the sachet.
- Close with your chosen closure.
- Refresh as needed by removing the bottom portion of cotton/wadding, applying fragrance oils and then replacing.
- After a few months completely replace the cotton/wadding for new, to help keep the scent fresh and vibrant.
