How do you scent your home?

Tati · Chanel

depends on the mood but its between candles and incense(sp?). i know not everyone loves incense, but my hubby and i do and it has the whole house smelling nice.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

bath and body works wallflowers all over the place and candles, candles, candles-- i love jo malone in grapefruit and jasmine. i also love illume in gardenia, jasmine, pomegranite. as for the wallflowers, i like fresh linen for every room but the kitchen, where i like pumpkin. by the way, these scents rotate, so it's not like they're all simultaneously competing against each other (yeeps! now that's a scary thought!)

I love Yankee candles, my favorite is macintosh apple

Hedvig · Coach

Right now I have white hyacinths on top of the dresser. And I love burning regular unscented tea lights throughout the year.

lynnie · Chanel

Nag Champa incence (sp?) and those big blue candles from Anthropologie in Aloha Orchid. That is the strongest candle I've tried by FARRRRRRRRR but it smells quite good unless you leave it burning too long.

FH loves him some froufy candles! We like the Home Interiors brand b/c you can really smell them even when they're not burning.

I second Yankee Candles. My FH and I have several Yankee Candles. My absolute fav is Buttercream. I love Vanilla, Coconut Bay, and anything fruity.

I have the Wizard scented plug-ins in discreet places. But I think I may get rid of them, because I just read that they *may* be a fire hazard, and I am OCD about stuff like that.

Yankee candles in Clean (Fresh?) Laundry smell amaaaaazing! Very fresh and clean, not too overpowering, but you can smell them even if they aren't lighted.

I use Votivo and Dyptique candles. The Votivo actually still scent the room even when they aren't lighted. I would highly recommend them in any scent. We also just got a jasmine tree that smells fabulous. Right now it's on our patio but in the fall and winter it will come inside. I love the scent it gives off.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

alb, where did you get the jasmine tree? i live in an apt. w/ a balcony, do you think the jasmine tree would be conducive to a balcony?

alb · Marc Jacobs

Hey Esquiress--We got it at a nursery near our house. It smelled soo good in the little grenhouse that I had to get it (and there weren't that many blooms on it yet). It's just a little tree in a medium size pot. Ours is about 3-4 feet tall. I think it would be fine on a balcony as long as it gets some sun. I'm not sure how much sun it needs, ours will only get 50% sun but I think that's enough. You should get one--it will look and smell really nice when the little white flowers on it bloom. Depending on the climate where you live, you might need to take it indoors in the winter time. Although I think if I recall correctly you live in California? If that's the case, then it would probably do really well all year long on the balcony. HTH and let me know if you get one.

I either don't use a home scent or I use pure essential oils in an essential oil burner/diffuser. I usually mis a few drops of lavender (my favourite scent, or one of them) and a few of Blue Chamomile and 1 of clary sage.
