What's in a Spray?
It was always our vision to create a line of Home & Body Sprays in addition to our floral diffuser collections; sprays that not only smell great, but clean and freshen the home as well. It was a two-year process, but we did it.
Why did it take two years? I wish it were as simple as dropping the fragrance oils into a spray bottle and calling it a day, but there is so much more involved! First, each scent was modified and re-formulated to be used effectively in surface sprays, linen sprays, and body mists. In other words, they couldn’t just smell good, they had to actually work!
Each new product was then thoroughly tested for performance and fragrance quality. Of course, testing led to greater modification and so on and so on until we got it exactly right. Once all products were approved, they were sent to the manufacturer for stability testing.
What’s stability testing? It’s a fancy 8-week process that tests formula stability in cold and hot environments to ensure consistency of scent, color, pH level, etc. Good news: our products passed each test, and we were off to packaging.
With the help of our package designer, Jess Glebe Design, bottles of varying sizes were selected for each product with nozzles that beautifully disperse each fragrance. As for label design, we stayed true to the overall brand essence, incorporating all the key elements of our floral diffuser collections onto these vintage-style, amber bottles—the whimsical logo-type, the botanical accents, and of course, our iconic little girl on a tire swing, stamped in gold—are all included.
Much like our signature diffuser bottles, you won’t want to hide these bottles under the sink; they deserve to be seen.
The labels were machine-applied and the sprayer sticks cut to exact lengths by our manufacturer, FMI, Fragrance Manufacturing Inc., in Allentown, PA.

As you can see, our bottles go through a precise filling process. The sprayers are inserted and secured by hand and each bottle undergoes quality control before being packaged and shipped to our warehouse.
We’re proud of this process and the team we’ve assembled to do so. Whether it takes two weeks or two years, we’ll always deliver the best possible products to your door.

Warmly,
Love love all your products but especially your Surface Cleaner-The Tree of 53. I recently had major foot surgery and am home bound. Sadly to say I could not decorate my entire house as usual for Christmas. However, when I use this spray it brought back fond memories of past with my children (now grown.) Thank you so much for bringing back those memories with your lovely spray.
Looking forward to 2021 with my foot recovery but more exciting new scents. Happy New Year!!!
Love your story and for sharing the long, long process that took place to get these products ready for market. Looking forward to using them all.
