Mmm.....Smells Good!?

Question

What do you use (or do) to make and keep your house smelling good? I have a few things that I do myself but, I want to know more ways than what I have. Air fresheners dont last, incense only last as long as they burn and so do candles.

I have a oil burner thing. Instead of buying the expensive oils, I use 1 part of Victoria Secrets body spray and 1 part water. After about 5-10 minutes, I can smell it all through the house. You can use less water for more fragrance if you want. Try 'Strawberries and Champagne' or 'Pear Glace'.

Also, for the cold winter months, I boil cinnamon. Coat the water with it, bring it to a boil for 5 minutes and turn it down to a medium-low heat. Your house will quickly smell of cinnamon.

Answer 1

I use candles..

love 'em

Answer 2

carpet freshners. Vacuum with them every few days

Answer 3

My friend in VA sends me a fresh wreath every Christmas, this year's was so yummilicious - I put it outside after season and it still smelled so wonderful even after it dried, I put some pieces in my oil burner water and just sooo nice.  

I'm going to see what I can do with some of the herbs I am growing right now, I have a chocolate mint that is so mmmm!

Answer 4

mmmm--sounds good!  I've been using those Yankee candle wax tarts and the freshmatic spraying things.  Gets awfully expensive!  The only caution I have is that the body sprays contain alcohol don't they?  My thinking is eventually they might heat up enough to ignite...
