Vanilla na-na-na!

I'm a big fan of Voluspa's candles and scents.  I had this terrific bottle of Vanilla Bourbon room spray that I just loved.  I sprayed my last spray last week but I kept the dark brown glass bottle thinking to put it to some use.  While I was baking the other day I reached for my Trader Joe's bottle of pure vanilla bourbon extract and I realized how similar the two scents were.  So I grabbed the empty glass bottle and filled it almost to the top with Britta water and then added a tablespoon of the pure bourbon vanilla extract.  Wow!  I have a lovely (and refillable) vanilla room spray for a fraction (of a fraction) of the cost of the Voluspa spray.  It's almost the same, perhaps a little sweeter.  The water dilutes the minimal alcohol smell from the extract so the scent is fresh and warm.  And it's so safe that I can spray it all over the room, my body, even the kids.  When we came back from the beach yesterday we cooled off with a couple of spritzes.  It was lovely!
