Body mist vs eau de toilette?

Body mist is usually lighter (often 3–5%) and meant for generous misting. EDT is typically stronger. This course stays in the light mist lane.

Can I use only water?

Oils and water separate without a solubilizer. Use alcohol-only for the simplest stable mist, or add a proper solubilizer if you dilute with water.

See how every step looks — photo, checklist, and pro tips included.

01Sanitize the 100 ml mist bottle

Wash, rinse, alcohol-wipe, dry fully. A wet bottle clouds the mist and invites spoilage if you add water later.

02Write the 3–5% load card

100 ml finished ≈ 100 g for easy math. • 3% = 3.0 g oils (gentle) • 5% = 5.0 g oils (stronger mist) Start at 3% if sensitive; 4% is a sweet spot for most.

Pick ONE accord: Citrus Floral OR Soft Vanilla.
