essential oil is NOT a fragrance, but the true oils from plants...it is also NOT necessary if you need it to be unscented!

You don't have to add any scent. The spray works well with just the vodka and water.

Husband was little concerned when I asked for vodka - thought I was switching from my healthy glass of wine a day!!
Just be careful. Alcohol can fade some fabrics! Ask me how I know......

I use this also but add Sta-Flo liquid starch purchased at Walmart with mine. I made some for my friend and she loves it.
