How do you scent your home? What scent do you use?

I like to use incense and scent candles to scent my home primarily, but I also use air fresheners in the bathroom and the porch and I probably have a plug-in or two around the house as well. I really like my home to have a nice scent. My favorite scents for in my home are probably vanilla, and sandlewood scents, but I use all different types, depending on my mood and the time of year. In the summer I often buy berry or coconut scent incense. What form of frangrance do you use to scent your home? What are you favorite scents?

I am definitely a candle person. Predominantly Yankee Candle and For Every Body, I've found they just about all smell wonderful. The scent I use depends upon the time of year. Right now, I've switched to tropical and fruity scents for spring and summer, but I use heavier and I guess "spicier" scents in the fall and winter. I usually always have a candle going when I'm at home. I love everything coconut...it is possible one of the best fragrances...and also strawberry and the blueberry muffin for everybody candle(these can be found at Kohl's if you are interested. )

Yeah Yankee probably is the best brand of scented candles, I don't buy them very often though because I find them expensive.

they are expensive...I only buy them during sales...that's why I love the for every body candles so much from kohl's. they are already cheaper and Kohl's always has amazing sales, so you can get them REALLY cheap and they smell AMAZING!!

scented candles are usually too perfumey for me. altho i do use them occaisionally, i prefer incense. sandlewood and dragons blood are my absolute faves to mix together, cedar, "spirit" and "meditation". another fave thing i like to do is boil cloves on my stove. it makes the entire house smell clean.

Febreeze scentstories - febreeze
I usually use candles or oils. Very rarely I'll use incense because they are usually too strong for me. I also have one of those febreeze scentstories machines that take the scented discs and I love it! I also make my own scented spray using a cheap liquid fabric softener and water and spray it on my couch and curtains. My favorite scent I think is called Rainfall and I'm able to get it in oils and candles.

I've never tried one of those Febreze machines. Are the discs reusable or are they a one time use thing?

I like to use incense and scented candles as well. I have an air freshener I use on occasion. I like the citrus smell, apples and cinnomon, and berry.

Thanks for your response. I'm not a big fan of citrus scent myself, I don't know why though.

I love scented candles. I really like the vanilla and black cherry scents. I use a couple in each room and several in my bedroom when I know my husband is going to be home. :)

Seems like black cherry is a common favorite around here. It makes me want to go out and get some cherry scented candles.
