To use dirt scented essential oil in my cleaning spray?

[LastPostISwear2]

THIS IS MEANT TO BE LIGHT HEARTED!

So, I love gardening. I love nature. I love the smell of rain and flowers and earth. Much of my house (and hopefully, eventually, all of it) is decorated to be nature/plant themed (basically, if I could live outside without having to deal with bugs and extreme temps I would, and the house reflects that 🙈🤓) so I thought, I want it to smell like nature/plants too.

I make my own cleaning spray with white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, a couple drops of dish soap, and essential oils. I got this essential oil pack which has a bunch of outdoorsy scents, and in the last batch of spray, used the ones called “rain,” “night air,” and a couple that I already had in stock: agarwood, chamomile, geranium… and then after a pause, I put in a few drops of the “dirt” scented one.

I really like the result! DH hasn’t expressed an opinion, but I also don’t think he has as sensitive of a nose as I do… But is it totally unhinged to clean real dirt off of things with something that smells slightly of dirt?

Dumbest ad ever.

I promise I’m not a shill 🙈

That’s so last year! We prefer fresh morning dung scent. Or essence de badger’s arse. Sometimes, but only on special occasions, we’ll go for Tramp’s Arsehole. It really elevates everything.

I gotta get with the times!

Seriously though, use what you like. Earthy smells are popular for a reason. Avoid Squirrel’s Breath.

YANBU to use scents you like. 'Dirt' scent usually tries to mimic the smell of a forest floor or petrichor, neither of which smell anything like 'dirt dirt'.

I have some fragrance oil that's supposed to smell like dirt, too, but I find I haven't used it as much as I thought it would, because I'm trying to use essential oils instead. But you've inspired me to give it another try. In addition to mixing sprays and using a misting diffuser, I like dropping oils on a cotton wool ball and leaving them in drawers and other places around the house. I have a diffuser locket that works similarly, with discs of fabric to absorb the oil. Just imagine walking around smelling beautifully of 'dirt' all day! 😍

Après l’Ondée by Guerlain feels like a gentle breeze and rainbows after the rain. It's worth trying out. 🙂

Sounds magical!

I can't decide if you're house sounds whimsical and eclectic or completely mental!
Any chance of some pics so I can decide...
