Generally most people keep their homes neat in order to keep down odors from smoking, pets, dirt and food, but even with a deep clean, sometimes an added scent is nice for ambience.
What product do you use to keep your house nicely scented? Candles? Potpourri? Air fresheners? Incense? Glade plug-ins? A combination?
I personally use scented wax tarts and a tart melter from LOL Candles http://www.lolcandles.com
I love their scents, and the huge variety they offer, even if it is a little pricey to ship them up here.

I like Fall best so I used Fall scents. I go to Michael's Craft Store and buy either cinnamon pine cones or a cinnamon broom decoration. They smell so good and the scent lasts a very long time.
The rest of the year I use scented candles or air freshners.

I use wax melts, too! My daughter gave me a set a couple of years ago, and I'm addicted to them. I love the coffee one, and exotic middle-eastern spicy scents. I'm frightened of Glade plug-ins, as I read an article where firemen had warned they had occasionally overheated and caused house fires - I don't like having things plugged into the electricity. I don't like spray air fresheners, either - I used to use them years ago, but I always thought they smelled artificial and sickly.

I don't use house scents at all. Sometimes at Christmas I'll burn bayberry candles to make it piney but I usually don't use anything. I love to open my windows, though, and make the house smell fresh and clean.

I actually do a variety of things that help keep my home smelling clean, fresh, and just YUMMY!
My favorite way to do this is burn candles. I have a serious obsession with Yankee Candles. They're actually having some pretty decent sales right now if you check out their website, www.yankeecandle.com . I also get coupons for Glade and Febreeze candles which you can buy at Target, Walmart, etc. So I end up buying a lot of those to burn around the house too. I LOVE candles.
Something else I do is have plug in air fresheners. I currently have a wallflower from bath and body works, www.bathandbodyworks.com, plugged in and making my house smell like pumpkin pie! YUM YUM!
I of course have the basic aerosol cans of air freshener around and I also use carpet freshener about once a month when I vacuum and that keeps things smelling fresh for quite a while.
I'm all about smelling good! LOL I want my house to smell yummy and fresh. lol
