Unfortunately, due to allergies, not too much of anything ...

I'll occasionally spray a spritz of Lysol Crisp Linen, but even that will get the sneezes to flyin'.

My favourite scents are the ones that only come out near Christmas.

I like the ones that stick on a wall that when you push a button and it sprays.

My favorite scent is "Leaves" from Bath & Body Works.....but I also love the Fresh Balsam & Pine scented candles, spray, & the ones you screw into the night light. Really only use the winter scents all year....I stock up in the winter to last the year.

I also have problems with sneezing & my dogs do also.....when I spray the scent they continuously sneeze until the spray settles & sometimes I get into a sneezing attack also.

But my house & truck seriously need help with scents being that I have 3 dogs.......impossible to keep a house smelling fresh & clean.....so I cover up with the scents.

I actually wanted to buy diffuser but was freaked out by the label that the unused liquid is "toxic waste" and can cause "severe environmental damage".

I use sprays, diffusers, incense and candles. Not all at the same time though!

I use different scents depending on my mood. I use lavender, frankecense (sp?), Christmasy pine, amber and patcholli (sp?) and others. It really depends on my mood and what I want to accomplish with the scent.
Thanks for this!

I mostly use scented candles but have diffusers in some rooms and sprays in others. My favorite scent is gardenia but often am changing things out using too: lavender, bamboo, roses, pine, vanilla, and spiced ones, especially cinnamon this time of year.

I use incense sticks and candles but tend not to burn them, just let the dry scent linger. A whole pack splayed out in a small vase on a ledge works a treat. Good candles can perfume a whole room alone. Another thing I do downstairs is use tumble dryer sheets lodged behind radiators.I have a room scent spray in my bathroom.
Thanks for this!

No scent... well, except every once is a while we get the fragrance of parfum de minou, but that's only if someone (me) forgets to clean out the box...

Diffusers all the way...i have two on either side of a unit i put a load of ornaments on, some vanilla and chestnut fragrance i bought recently. I'm in a tiny flat so nice smelling rooms are essential i think.

I use a Febreeze plug in in the bathroom. I live with three males and no one cleans behind themselves. I call it the Gas Station Bathroom. In the living room I use candles. For me, Yankee candles do better for scenting the room. Haven't tried Scentsy. I should use cinnamon scented ones because it takes my appetite away lol. But I don't.

Heated essential oils in water. You can get the purest scents through oils and it is the most efficient. You can mix them but most of the time I use either lavender or sometimes ylang ylang.

I generally use candles, though I also have some sprays. My favorite scents are cinnamon, apple, flowery (rose, lilac, and jasmine), and fresh scents. I guess that covers most of the bases, doesn't it? My least favorite are the evergreen smells, baked goods, and certain other fruity scents.

I use candles, I pick up all different types from all over the place. But today I left one burning while I went outside for 10 minutes, so I freaked myself out about what could have happened. I will be ultra careful from now on!
