The best rooms sprays fill the air, enveloping you in a cloud of scent. Pillow sprays do a good job of lulling you to sleep, but when it comes to room sprays, the aroma you choose depends on your mood (or rather, what you would like your mood to be), and this is where they come into their own.
Room sprays aren't one-trick ponies; you can use them to shift how you feel whether you want to be invigorated or calmer, happier or more relaxed. And, as room sprays permeate the air, the scent is slightly more delicate than a pillow spray that sits proudly and loudly upon your pillow. I know one friend who misted her pillow with a lavender-scented spritz before bed, and it actually kept her awake. If that sounds like you, or you want a mist that does more than just lull you into the land of nod, may we introduce you to the 11 best room sprays that have a sensory mood-altering effect and that will leave your home smelling like a spa.
Rituals The Ritual of Dao Parfum d'Interieur
For an instant hit of relaxation, mist your room with Rituals The Ritual of Dao Parfum d'Interieur [1] (£26). The refined blend of yi yi ren herbs and white lotus flower is calming but also leaves your home feeling just that bit more sophisticated.
Byredo Cotton Poplin Room Spray
How chic is this room spray? Unsurprisingly, it comes courtesy of luxe perfume brand Byredo. The aesthetically pleasing bottle plays home to Cotton Poplin [2] (£85) — a fresh, floral scent reminiscent of fresh wash swaying in a gentle breeze as it dries. Pleasantly comforting.
Crabtree & Evelyn The Gardeners Stars in the Night Room Mist
With a twist of citrus and wood, The Gardeners Stars in the Night Room Mist [3] (£23) is an unexpected yet very relaxing room spray (that moonlights as a pillow spray, too). Yes, this is from the same Crabtree & Evelyn you always known, but it's had a 21st-century makeover.
Neom Happiness Room Spray
If natural fragrance is important to you, then Neom's Happiness Room Spray [4] (£20) should be your go-to. It's 100-percent natural and formulated with seven different essential oils including zingy lemon and sumptuous, powdery mimosa. Mist it, and set the intention to be just that bit more positive.

Corinne Taylor Calm Aromatherapy Room & Linen Mist
Designed to promote a restful night's sleep, Corinne Taylor's Aromatherapy Room & Linen Mist [6] (£22) natural mist contains 100-percent organic lavender, frankincense, and patchouli essential oils to help you drift off and sleep better. It can be used to mist both your space and your bed linens.
Wild Planet Mood Boost Aromatherapy Room Spray
Lime, mandarin, and rosemary essential oils give this Wild Planet Mood Boost Aromatherapy Room Spray [7] (£18) its juicy and bright aroma. For those who put sustainability high on the agenda, it is made in the UK and hand poured (in small batches) into a recyclable bottle.
Aesop
There is something so incredibly chic about the amber-hued bottle and pared-back labels that envelope the Aesop formulas. Olous Aromatique Room Spray [8] (£40) is a wondrous concoction of wood, citrus, and cardamom that is at once uplifting and comforting.
Wildheart Organics Tranquil Room Mist
If you want to bring a spa vibe into your home, look no further than Wildheart Organics Tranquil Room Mist [9] (£15). The natural, organic, and nontoxic spray contains lavender and neroli orange blossom at its heart, with sandalwood, clary sage, and chamomile to offer a well-rounded, soothing scent. Use it when you meditate, stretch, or nap at home.
Diptyque Tuberose Room Spray
For those who love the scent of tuberose, look to Diptyque's Tuberose Room Spray [10] (£47). Vibrant, sensual, and inviting, this scent will give your home a welcoming and relaxing air. You can also mist it on curtains and fabric furnishings — just spritz from 30cm away.
ChiAroma Geranium Refresher Spray
