Hey everyone! I would love to know if you have any of your own scent tips! Would you share below? 😍

[@frank_99]

I usually mostly go Tibetan/Indian incenses all the way, but these are some cool tips, I'll try them out for sure! Also just a personal curiosity: where are you from?

[@kimmyball4961]

I actually use the old timey sachet packets (not sure what they are called)!! Lol

[@rneustel388]

I always used the perfume advertisements that came in magazines to put in my underwear drawers, but I haven’t really seen any of those lately.

[@CeliaOliveira1]

I spray my cologne on light bulbs and when the lights go on it difuses

[@daydreamidealist]

Just a tip, since you're sharing yours, you shouldn't use the term 'ghetto' as a description.

[@juliawho8631]

Opening windows every morning for like 10 to 15 minutes (aka Lüften) is actually like citiziens duty here in germany😁 A really nice tip i got from my mom is to store little bags of dried lavender in between your clothes, its actually to keep moths away, but also leaves a sublte lavender smell on your clothes and in your closet😍 (plus they can look really cute, made out of patterned fabric or with embroidery)

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

I live in a high rise in mid-Atlantic region on the east coast of the US. I love to open my windows as you’ve suggested in the Spring and later in the Fall. Unfortunately, we have serious heat and humidity all summer and early Fall. The high rise I live in insist we NOT open windows once they turn on the air conditioning as it is very difficult to remove the humidity in the building if you open windows. My home is basically air tight for at least 4 months a year, where we need something to freshen the air because the windows are shut tight!

[@Divorceja]

I literally cannot open my apartment windows without some kind of smoke, vapor, burning drug fumes .... not for 15 whole minutes!!! What kind of luxury is fresh air now? Fuck I can't wait for pandemic 2.0

[@greyscalesx]

@@cherylmcnutt9905 just add dehumidifiers in the rooms. Internal house pollution is cause for many health problems

[@MorningHawk101]

FIRE HAZARD!!! The tip with putting essential oils on light bulbs can cause FIRES as the bulbs can get too hot and/ or the oil can get down in the contacts and cause a short! This was from several fire depts so please double check this before doing!! "Nearly all essential oils are flammable. There are a few such as wintergreen, sandalwood, and clove bud that have flashpoints above the required 199.4 degrees Fahrenheit specified by OSHA to be classified as flammable. However, they can all catch fire fairly easily. The flashpoint for essential oils can range from 100 to 215 degrees Fahrenheit (37 to 102 Celsius). The average flashpoint is around 140 degrees Fahrenheit, which classifies as a Class 3 flammable liquid by OSHA."

[@amberburch152]

Thank you! Also, never put oil on halogens (even just touching them) because they can pop!

[@greyscalesx]

Yeah but that is for halogens, led light aren't hot at all. It's kinda of outdated I don't think ppl who comes for renovations and decorating advice still have old high electricity consumption lights. But I guess it's good to knox

[@ksks2086]

They use to sell a product that you put on the light bulb and put the oil inside. It was a kool product😊

I have a shallow dish on my kitchen countertop filled with white vinegar. It eliminates all the cooking odors that do no go the fan over the stove. Really good when I have cooked fish...

[@mtedeaux33]

Ha! I love this! Got some good tips. BUT! Open the windows where I live (in the Deep South country) and you’ll get a nice aroma of cow manure, along with some added flies accompanied by a wonderful wave of 90% humidity and a 95 degree heat wave all 4 seasons of the year. ❤️❤️❤️ we do NOT open windows in the southern country.

[@timothydesoto1707]

You are so right! I live in New Orleans, and if you open your windows in the summer time, you will have a hot house that will take all day to cool down again!

[@h.e.9104]

A pro tip for getting rid of smells without covering/mixing them with other scents: Spray vodka on it (and air it out)! My sister taught me this. She is a Costume Designer and often works with garments, wigs or puppets that are pretty much impossible to wash. The alcohol gets rid of odors without harming most materials and (depending on the percentage of alcohol) may even act as a desinfectant. One thing I learned from my mom: Dried lavender in a little linen bag works wonders in any closet or sock drawer! ;) And in case you have a mint or sage plant in your home: Just pluck a leave every other day, even if you don't use it right away (just freeze it in an ice cube or something). The plant will release it's natural scent in response. Also, I just wanted to add: I hate the Febreze smell, too. My other no-nos are artificial vanilla and the NIVEA scent. I don't know how well known NIVEA skincare is outside of Germany, but it's so common round here that it can be a challenge to avoid.

[@Gulchih]

You'll ruin silk with any amount of alcohol spray! Every high end fashion house always instructs keeping silk away from even perfumes for this reason because they contain alcohol

[@muche774]

Thank you so much 👍🏾💋💋💋😉

[@yesiownfrodo]

Nivea in the USA doesn't have a scent. What I had in Switzerland is unscented, too. So, no idea about Nivea in Germany. They do make a body lotion for diabetics (just released in 2022) that smells like roses, but I doubt you are using that. Anyway, it's a scent that hispanic populations love and I think smells great. I am not hispanic, but when I was a teacher a lot of the parents wore a rose scent, which was lovely.

[@JesusisKing03]

I take cotton and a few drops of essential oils and attach it to my ceiling fan (on the blade side facing the ceiling to hide it) when you turn on your fan you'll spread a very nice smell instantly

[@teeblackwell6301]

I love the smell of pine. It's smells so clean and fresh. One of my favorite candle scent is "Frasier Fur". Omg ☺️

[@zoezeien]

Omg i know this smell and it’s the best!!! It’s my brothers absolute fav

[@GraceCanadaful]

Europeans always air the house in the morning, before making beds, and in the evening - before sleep, even on winter evenings. European windows open towards inside, so you can often wash the outside, and they have an option to open angled, top in, so you don't have to remove anything from the window sill. Love your channel! Thank you for sharing so many useful ideas!

[@doctorsaz]

There are a very wide variety of windows in Europe. none of my homes have had "tilt and turn windows", and all have opened out or are sash windows so open up!

[@sgist7824]

My 'European window' opens outward, like most. Such generalisations in this post.

[@GraceCanadaful]

@@sgist7824 - I am not talking about so called "European windows' available in North America. I was talking about modern windows in Europe. In most countries, they open inwards. Old, buildings (18th -19th century ) would be/could be different. People here, especially women, love to jump on and criticize, just for the sake of it.

[@sgist7824]

@@GraceCanadaful I live in a modern house, in Europe, and have not seen any windows opening inwards. Not in France or Italy either. Maybe you're talking about somewhere more remote and generalising it to 'All Europe' why people are replying. I don't see how gender comes into windows 😂

I'm walking around implementing these ideas. Re palo santo, I love briefly burning the sticks in my home. Great smell, lots of positive energy, and a single stick lasts months.

[@Andreasplace]

Mee toooooo such a great smell

[@leighrinker]

My great-grandmother taught me to use a pot of water simmering on the stove with mulling spices in it to sent my home. I add orange peels when I have them at the time. I've also done orange peels and rosemary simmering. If the water gets low you just add more and it works fabulously. I usually save the extra to be used another time until it wears out.

[@FAB5FORTY]

I have orange peels on countertop now. Going drop them in a pot when I get home 😁

[@andersonomo597]

I've recently started making candied orange peels - so easy and delicious as is or in a sweet treat or added to recipes - including savory - but thanks for this tip too!! Making the most of things just feels SOOOO good!! I've got a huge rosemary plant and love the scent so this will be a double thumbs up from me! Cheers.

[@Energycocktail]

This. I make my own every year. I throw some apple slices, cinnamon sticks, sometimes cloves, or whatever I have I. The house. Maybe a dash of vanilla but vanilla extract is expensive so I use it sparingly.

Dryer sheets are definitely- toxic pls investigate prior to purchase

[@veevee111]

After I zest, juice, and/or straight up consume citrus fruit, I throw the rinds in the freezer and refrigerator for a pleasant, natural deodorizer. Once they harden, usually after 7-10 days, I'll discard them because they take on the odors from wherever I place them.

[@2006glg]

I've been doing the perfume and body spray as room sprays for years, but not in the bathmats. Great idea. The dryer sheet thing has been in my repertoire for a long time too.

[@sandya3192]

Just came across your video. Loved that you added a few natural ways to make the home smell good. I have autoimmune issues & am basically allergic to +90% of things w/fragrances- essential oils, candles, any type of plugins like bath & body works or glade and even some perfumes. Even when I walk into stores that use fragrances, I immediately start coughing & choking. I’m highly allergic to Balsam of Peru which can be in anything with a fragrance like cleaning products, laundry detergent, candles, sprays, even some food including beer wine & citrus flavored things…. It’s honestly so hard trying to make my home have any appealing smells in it. I so miss using all the fun & wonderful smelling things out there. But there are a couple of things you mentioned I can definitely try. Thank you for including tips for those of us that can’t use typical or conventional methods. 💙We are often left out in these types of videos.

[@anthonyswan9551]

I love your channel! Definitely among my favorites for interior design! On top of some of the tips you mentioned, for my home, I have an essential oil diffuser in just about every room, and they are almost always running. I also add a couple of drops of essential oils to the vacuum filters, and to the AC filter every time I switch them out. I also add a few drops of EO’s to a cotton ball and place them at the back of drawers and cabinets. Whether at home, or as a guest in a friend’s home, or in a hotel, I always get the vote for having the best smelling place. 😍

[@HairyKnees1]

I can open the windows at my house but it depends on the wind direction. I have a major highway and a couple of gas stations very close by. Also remember, if you have a pet bird be very careful of what you spray in the air, they have very sensitive lungs & some things can kill them or make them sick.

[@calittleteer]

I clean my floors with steam and have a hand held steam cleaner for other areas. This sanitizes the surface and leaves the house with no smells which is great since I have pets and fragrance is bad for them. Trust me steam cleaning is amazing for keeping your house smelling clean and fresh without fragrance.

I've lived in many countries. it is only in america that I see people dont open their windows. Everywhere else, it's the first thing you do in the morning to air out your bedroom and your bed and blankets. it's normal to open the windows in the kitchen and all other windows to let in fresh air. It is only in America that I see people need to be told to open the window.

[@bobchevallier8456]

America is as big as Europe and very air conditioned. In parts of the country where weather is mostly not extreme, people open windows. But, we do need to improve on this. I'm 72 and grew up i an older home with open windows at night and a few Window air conditioned rooms like the huge kitchen, and den. Our homes are a lot bigger in general, so opening my bedroom and kitchen windows are a must. We have a lot of windows, I have 2 large fixed glass ones to see the woods. Often they're on both sides of a fireplace in modern styles with very high ceilings. Every place is different. When I lived in cold New Hampshire, -30 F In the Winter, many open their windows a few inches to air out the wood stove pollution for a few hrs. At times. The joys of modern living🙄

Pine drives me nuts as well, BUT...I found a really cheap brand at Wal-Mart that I totally fell in love with. IT was a mainstay one, that you can't get anymore, but you can make it. Mix pine room spray with any ocean scent spray. It is an awesome cozy scent. I figured if I sprayed both scents in a spray bottle, I could add water, just as with oils. I love that scent, as it is like men's fresh cologne. I prefer men's cologne. It is beachy. Essential oils don't have a wide enough variety, and spicy is not usually my thing. BUT, there is an oil that repels bugs, especially mosquitoes. It is Patchioli. I wore a cologne one time, at a bonfire, where the mosquitoes were huge, and biting everyone, except me. I couldn't figure it out, and then it hit me...It had to be my cologne. I researched it, and found that it contained the Patchioli. I researched that, and it stated that it repelled bugs. The Patchioli alone can repel people, so it has to be blended with something else. The cologne I wore was Estee Lauder's, Cinnabar, and I buy it every summer, even though it leans more toward a winter scent, if I'm going to be at a cookout etc., I go prepared!

I love the idea of opening up the windows every morning and (accept when it's winter even living in SoCal 🥶) burning incense. Incense seems to do the job much quicker.

I bought an air purifier and that's another great way to clean the air in the home. I let in run on low 24hrs a day.

[@DeliaNErik]

I love to opening the windows 🪟 too

[@ellecaballero4460]

I buy little organza sachet bags from Amazon, fill them with in-laundry scent boosters (Downy Infusions "Calm" is my fave), and throw them in strategic places around the house (sock drawers, etc). I was trying to figure out where to put the one in the bathroom until I watched this video. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

[@iclaudius2534]

I do like your natural foods idea's and vanilla essence. Things like Febreze causes allergic reactions in people who react badly to perfumes, so do incense sticks, which can irritate asthma and the same for old perfumes/dryer sheets/reed diffusers Plus opening windows in some seasons when allergens get is also is not good for asthma sufferers and those allergic to grass, tree blossom etc. It's really difficult to make a home scented when there are allergies but one thing I found very good is ground coffee, put some into some small containers or or dishes and hide under furniture, the room begins to smell fresh within a few hours.

I like to use the yankee candle wax melts in a tealight holder and just put them on the radiator. The heat makes it smell great

[@janeprescott7381]

Cinimin and cloves are my favorite.

[@karakreativevlog]

I actually paused the video to do the lightbulb trick! That was genius! Thank you so much!

[@RoxanneJ]

Frasier Fir is the best scent I’ve ever smelled!! Pine is also! Love it and my house smells like my friends actual Montana mountain lodge. Love it. 😂 to each their own!

[@hollingdaleshomescents]

Home Fragrance Rocks 🌸

[@metrorealty7631]

It's hard to open the windows in the summer with 115 degrees outside. LOL

[@Kindlycallmecarebear]

I hate Fabreeze too! My step mother smoked in the house in the winter and she would spray FEBREEZE everywhere when people came over. It smelled like and ashtray at a laundry mat in hell!

[@bobchevallier8456]

Hysterical 😂🤪👏 Karen here. Best comment

[@maggiefisker994]

I open my windows every single morning .Even in freezing temps , just ten minutes does the trick

[@betsyfincher9859]

I find a cheap perfume I like and spray my silk plants in the house. Also a nice room spray disinfected and use it in the basement and the filter then put my thermostat fan on. House smells wonderful.

[@johannechampagne7332]

I love all your videos. Thanks for posting your knowledge and sharing. Opening your windows is such a great suggestion. It’s interesting that when you’re outside, air smells of nothing much but if, for example, you open your bedroom window all night, then you go out of your bedroom in the morning, have your coffee, read the paper and then go back into your bedroom, it’s almost as though the room smells of a beautiful perfume just because the air is fresh. Super suggestions and I agree on all the things that do not smell great. Febreeze always reminds me of a “recently used bathroom”. Ugh. My favorite perfume is Anyway from Juliette Has a Gun and I didn’t even know they have a room spray! Thanks SO much for that info.

[@lentyhicks7022]

You can also use fabuloso put into pot and let sit with low flame it makes the house smell wonderful but make sure to use a pot only for this

[@jessicacauley9078]

I love Fabuloso but it is highly flammable.

[@eileenbelcolle7606]

Omg! Not if you are scent sensitive! Fabulosa will kill you!

[@eli92]

I also put Cotten balls full of perfume in the a/c vents then when you turn on your a/c the scents go everywhere in the house.

[@charissaperry7800]

Also try Sand+Fog brand candle. The smells are very nice, but not over powering.

[@LatoijaJ]

OH WOW you’re amazing!

[@Beautyin123]

Thank you for wonderful ideas on the home scent! Loved it!

[@RIXRADvidz]

I've been fed quite a few of these in my feed, I watched one cleaning video to maximize results with the least effort, and now ..... so, my take away from the dozen of these I've seen is, cover your garbage, hit the catbox as soon as kitty does, wash down your entry and window sills, where odor particles collect during air exchange, change your bedding, towels and vacuum and dust at least once a week, don't leave standing water in the kitchen sink basically, DO YOUR HOUSEWORK...

[@jainthorne4136]

Exactly! Nothing beats the smell of clean.

[@AriannaAyers]

Dryer sheets on intake vents can increase energy consumption, and force the machine's compressor into overdrive. Great way to blow your expensive machine!

[@paulthomson2288]

opening the windows every day helps. even if just for a few minutes. I get tired seeing complaints about mold issues when it's purely halfwits who don't ventilate a room.

[@bobchevallier8456]

Karen here. In the hot humid Southern US, it's not enough. Dehumidifiers are key to smaller homes. I empty out 2 gallons of water every day from my basement area That is a walk out.

[@susanh1447]

In Texas, we don't open our windows. We've got the AC going!

[@tsmosley]

Same here in Louisiana! 😅

[@Queenbelieveit]

Facts❤️

[@Mlb9186]

😂😂

[@SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade]

I’m in south Florida and can relate BUT opening your windows is a game changer. Around dusk or dawn is a good idea for warm/hot climates... for like 2 hours

[@lauren11756]

I live in the country. Always gotta make sure its not spreading season before we open the windows!

[@dianalama1591]

Love your great comments and leads to some good candles/diffusers🥰

[@Worminthedirt]

Ah yes I have been using my palo santo candle sparingly cause it just smells so good 😍😁 I like the room spray vanilla patchouli from bath and body works too!!

[@vvsylviacrawford4248]

Fantastic information that I can actually use! Thank You!

[@Shanchelle]

A couple of more natural things that I love are: Using the wax warmer and use all natural or organic essential oil based wax in it. Opening up my patio door and front door early in the mornings while having coffee. Old fashion drip coffee maker with a timer… ahhhh Fresh dried lavender in decor on the table. A local farmhouse furnishing store near me sells it. If you have the money to spend on environmental air quality and fresh air then a whole home Perfect 16 by IQ air, it’s the real deal, but note it’s expensive, but toxins, mycotoxins and other things in the air can cause cancer and other illnesses so if you have the means then it’s an incredible investment in both fresh air and your health. :) Lastly, Shea Moisture sells a more natural shampoo that smells ahhhhh-mazing! I believe it’s an African American line of shampoo, but I use on myself and on my doggies… it’s smells incredible for over a week on the doggies back. One of my favorite products ever! Oh, I almost forgot… I put half a lemon down the garbage disposal while running it about once ever week or two and it really freshens that right up!

[@adstix]

3:58 good idea but one has to be very careful because perfumes can be inflammable on hot bulbs if overdone!

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

I do the window, the cottonball and the vacuum thing. 👍 The scented cottonballs (or other materials like cotton/natural fabric, paper, wood..) work especially well in the closet to freshen up the clothes..

[@Christoff6025]

Your video was very entertaining 🙂! Personally I avoid anything with vanilla 😜

[@leesteal4458]

Yes. It makes me feel sick.

[@alinacalin9139]

Well, yes but it was for those who imagine they have to make cookies 😀
