Blasted wouldn’t be used here. Blasted means to shoot or violently blow or expel something. If you blasted someone’s cushions with something they would be thrown across the room. Spray is the word best used here.

Yes! Blasted sounds intense so "I sprayed your throw cushions..." sounds more natural.👍
Also, "body spray" is a noun so you won't need a "to" in the middle of the two words. ☺️

“Blasted” can be used if you want to exaggerate a bit. It would imply that you sprayed a large amount of body spray.
