Best Woody: Being Frenshe Hair, Body & Linen Mist Palo Santo Sage
Why it’s worth it: Being Frenshe’s Palo Santo Sage may be popular as a body spray, but its delectable blend can also refresh your home’s scent. Now, your signature home and personal fragrances, featuring notes of palo santo, sage, ylang-ylang, and eucalyptus, can match. Its fabric-safe formula can also be safely misted on your clothes, so don’t worry about microdroplets staining your favorite silk blouse (but, to be safe, don’t spray it super up close).
Tester feedback: “They may be everywhere these days, but that doesn’t mean I’m a fan of celebrity beauty brands. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, and Ashley Tisdale’s Being Frenshe happens to be the one for me,” says Kinonen. “Since my first spritz, I’ve been obsessed with the Linen + Body Spray Palo Santo Sage. The fresh woody mist smells great wherever it’s sprayed: sheets, couch cushions, and, this may be too niche, homemade hashbrown-scented sweaters.”
Key notes: palo santo, sage, ylang ylang, eucalyptus | Size: 5 oz
Best Spicy: Aesop Aromatique Room Spray in Istros
Why it’s worth it: Similar to Aesop’s popular Aromatique hand wash, one spritz of this room spray fills your space with an earthy, herbaceous fragrance. Available in three potent, grounding scents, you only need a spritz or two to instantly refresh the air in your space. One of our favorite blends is Istros, a combination of tobacco, lavender, and pink pepper that helps us calm our minds when we’re unwinding for the day.
Scent options: Istros, Cythera, and Olous | Size: 3.3 oz
How we test and review products
Before reviewing any makeup, we ask questions about a number of factors: What ingredients are in it? Does the brand offer a wide shade range inclusive of consumers with all skin tones and undertones? Is it safe for readers who have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses? Is it on the affordable side or more of a splurge? Is its packaging consciously designed or needlessly wasteful?
For our review of the best room sprays, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, contributors to review the products. This ensures our testing base spans different skin tones, genders, and dermatological conditions. We considered each product’s performance across four primary categories: ingredients, wear and longevity, packaging, and inclusivity. For more on what’s involved in our reporting, check out our complete reviews process and methodology page.
Our staff and testers
A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors—in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon—is essential to reaching that goal.
