There’s nothing I love more than setting the mood in every room. So, when I was tasked to find the absolute best room sprays available, I got busy spritzing multiple fragrances all over my apartment. I mentally graded each of them based on their scent notes, staying power, ease of use, and value, and awarded the best of the best below. Whether you’re looking to mask a less-than-fresh bathroom moment or creating a calming ritual before bed, these are the best sprays to suit every space (and nose).

Aesop’s Room Sprays have earned a cult following—and for good reason. While each scent is certainly lovely, the Cythera Aromatique is our top pick for its warm, woody base that’s perfectly balanced with soft, floral notes. Featuring notes of geranium, incense, and patchouli, this pick is noticeable without being overwhelming, and subtle without fading too quickly. It’s our best overall pick because it does a great job of creating a cozy, inviting space in your home and can act as a form of aromatherapy while making your house smell divine. Whether you’re freshening up a bathroom, bedroom, or living space, this versatile spray elevates any room with just a few spritzes.

Diptyque Paris
If you’re looking for a scent that will last in your room and linger everywhere else for hours, the Diptyque Paris Figuier (Fig Tree) Spray is the perfect pick for you. This beautiful scent is beloved by many for its warmth yet fruity notes, and looks super chic in any bathroom counter or bedroom dresser. Those who prefer a more subtle scent, look elsewhere—just one spritz from this bottle is enough to fill a whole room.
Best for the Bedroom: Thisworks Deep Sleep Pillow Spray

Yes, this is technically a “pillow spray,” but that hasn’t stopped me from spritzing it all over my bedroom every night before bed. The lavender, chamomile, and vetivert scents do a fabulous job of telling my brain and body to shut down and go to bed. It’s a pretty light scent that doesn’t last until the morning, but stays put in my room long enough to help me fall asleep.
Best Citrus Scent: Caldrea Linen & Room Spray Air Freshener in Sea Salt Neroli

For those who prefer a light, fresh, clean scent to spruce up their space, look no further than the Caldrea Linen & Room Spray Air Freshener in Sea Salt Neroli. This lovely scent will probably remind you of summer, with its mix of lemon, neroli, cardamom, and juniper essential oils. The price point accessibility is a big win, and we also love using this as a light linen spray, too. One thing to note is that, because the scent is pretty light, it probably won’t last as long as some of the other picks on this list.
Best Modern Musk Scent: Homecourt Room Deodorant in Cece
Homecourt Room Deodorant in Cece
Revolve
Founded by Courtney Cox in 2021, Homecourt is a homecare brand that’s inspired by the luxurious and refined fragrances you’d typically find in perfumes and candles. Homecourt’s “room deodorant” in the scent “Cece” is a stunning modern musk scent that features notes of cedarwood smoke, sandalwood, cinnamon, sweet cardamom, and white leather. It’s a beautiful balance of masculine and feminine, and adds a nice feeling of warmth and coziness to any room in your home.
Best Budget-Friendly: Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Room and Air Freshener Spray in Compassion Flower

For such an affordable room spray, we’re pretty impressed by how long this pick lasted in our living room. The scent is pretty strong and permeates into different rooms, even if you only spritzed it in one. The scent “Compassion Flower” is a fan-favorite amongst many, and features notes of bergamot fruit oil, fresh lemon, and pansy. Plus, we love that this comes in a non-aerosol spray bottle, too.
