Yes, the great thing about making your own is you can tailor the scent to exactly what you like, and experiment a little. One small bottle of lanolin oil and a few small bottles of essential oils will make gallons of spray, so it's economical, too.

If you like fruity scents, there is a product called "Plum Silky" which has a very sweet berry-like scent. They have a shampoo, conditioner, and I think they make a finishing spray as well. It's a little TOO fruity for me personally, but some groomers swear by it. The shampoo and conditioner does leave the coat nice and silky, as advertised, but I haven't tried the spray.

We use it when we didn't have time to bathe a dog or it wasn't that dirty from playing outside that it needed a bath, or it's too cold to bathe one, and adopters are coming
I like to spritz some baby powder scented stuff on puppies or the "ocean" smelling one on adults, and brush it through.
I do use it on my own dogs, and to keep them clean between baths, I get baby wipes and wipe them down.
