Review of Glade Spruce It Up Spray

The holidays are quickly approaching. Just as quickly as they flew in, they will also fly out. I find ways to hold on to my favorite holidays for just a little longer, usually in the form of candles with a holiday scent, or room fragrance sprays.

Febreze is usually one of my top favorites throughout the year when it comes to home fragrances. However Glade, is truly holding its own as a top competitor. They spiced up their overall look, and it seems like they are a brand new brand on a battlefield for best home fragrances. When I came across Glade, Spruce It Up, Room Fragrance Spray, I knew immediately that this would be one that would be coming home with me.

They painted up the can nicely in a dark Christmas Tree colored green, and added a white slashed drawn Christmas Tree to the can. All in all, it stands out more than Febreze's pine scented holiday limited edition can this year.

While the can beats out its competitors, does the scent?
The scent of Glade's Spruce It Up, smells just like an authentic pine tree, however they add a small hint of what smells like creamy vanilla to it, which takes away the total authentic vibe. However the overall scents combined are not a bad one, and even Febreze couldn't capture the true scent of a Christmas Tree, as their scent tends to have this crisp air undertone about it as well.
Glade's Spruce It Up fragrance is definitely one that reminded me of the holiday, but I wish they would have avoided mixing that creamy vanilla undertone to it, as it made it seem less pine in overall scent.

Last:

Like many room fragrance sprays, this one did not last all too long after spraying it into the air. The nozzle sprays out the fragrance in a more wispy manner, but not as thin and fine as Febreze Air Effects does.

However, the scent seems to last just as long as any other room spray. I got a total of around 10 minutes of detecting notes of scent, before it was gone completely.

Overall:

Spruce It Up is a decent scent, however it did not capture that total essence of the holiday due to the added mixture of vanilla undertones, which ruined the overall freshness that the pine scent initially had. It's still good though, and I would rate this one 4 out of 5 stars.
