Fresh Linen Fragrance Oil Showcase

VINEVIDA’s Fresh Linen fragrance oil is a deliciously refreshing blend of those wonderfully crisp and clean notes that we associate with drying washing on a bright Summer’s day.

The first notes to hit you on that fresh breeze is the unmistakable scent of  fresh, tart and juicy Apples. The soft, luscious scent of Orange brightens the scent profile and gives it a clean, crisp edge alongside that zingy Lemon. Reminding you of the freshness that comes with clean damp washing.

Yet, you are pulled deeper into a floral fantasy of Jasmine and Orange Blossom and finally that sensuous and alluring musk envelopes you for that last flourish of deliciousness. 

This fragrance oil is one that brings its bright, clean fresh edge to any home. It will help you move your mind away from the stress of the office or screaming kids. Take yourself to a happy place on a quiet summer day, feeling the sun on your face and the wind in your hair as you peg out the washing. Making it last, to enjoy the feeling of freedom only the outdoors can bring.

Fragrance Notes

The fresh, crisp vibrancy of tart Apple, zesty Orange, and zingy Lemon rises up to meet you first. They are sensuously softened with the beautiful exotic flowers of heady Jasmine and Orange Blossom. It is expertly blended with just a hint of alluring musk as the finishing flourish.

You only have to close your eyes and you can feel the grass between your toes and a breeze upon your face as you hang out the washing on a Summer’s day. It’s one that we absolutely love here at VINEVIDA.

Ideas For Around The Home

There are so many ways that you can use Fresh Linen fragrance oil around the home that I am having to rein myself in. Get your own imagination fired up!

Fresh Linen Spray

I have started to use these of late. I like how it freshens your linen, especially bed linen between washes.

I also have cats, so I cannot always have my essential oil diffuser going, and when I feel the room needs a quick boost of scent, I spray a few cushions on the sofa and turn them over out of the way of the cats.

It is so simple to make that once you start making it, you will wonder why you ever bought commercial products in the first place.

If you make Fresh Linen Spray, you could safely add as much Fresh Linen fragrance oil as you would like. There are no restrictions for a spray designed for fabrics that are not intended to come into contact with the skin.
