If so, what scent do you use.

I have used pineapple and vanilla in the past, but I don't think they are really that good (I like them, but I find that they don't last)

Nowadays, if I need the air freshened, I just spray a bit of perfume or body spray in the air. Works better in my opinion
Thanks for this!

Not exactly but I do have a Salt T lamp. I would post a pic of it but posting pictures has become an impossible task. The 'salt lamp' absolves impurities in the air and I can either light a tee-light inside it or plug it in for an hour. It gives off a nice warm orange glow.

I like using pumpkin or Hawaiian Febreze air freshner and then the Hawaiian Febreze fabric spray on my bed.

I read somewhere that they have stuff in them that isnt good, esp for some people. I used to work in a bldg that had spray air freshener readily available in the (only) ladies room. Somebody sprayed it while i was in there and it waz like i could SEE the evil particles vibrating around the room, like Pacmen! I dont know whats in that stuff but i dont like it.

I use a wax melt thing. Scent only last a few days before replacing the wax. Love the "country store" scent or "mulled cider" gives my house a nice country smell

I'm more of an incense person, I like to light one or two per day. And I like to take some out of them from the packet and put them in little holders so even if they're not burning they still give off a nice aroma. Right now my favourite scent is 'queen of the night' after the flower.

No. I'm not sure that I need any. Also, I'm very sensitive to many perfume-like scents, with only limited exceptions. I never wear perfume. Even my underarm deodorant is "unscented", which is harder to find, nowadays. Most perfumes makes me cough. On my skin it usually smells bad. The only time I used anything like a room air freshener was in my car. "New Car Scent" seemed to be OK. I used it mostly because at one point I barfed in the car. That scent helped hide the smell.

I do, but very sparingly. If the air becomes too stale in the Winter, I'll light an unscented candle for awhile. It warms the general atmosphere, and reminds me of a lovely fireplace at the same time.

No, I don't bother with any kind of artificial, chemical air fresheners..........Just don't think it's a necessary thing to do.......

I used scent warmers. For Christmas Eve I’m simmering clove, cinnamon sticks and oranges on the stove. I love incense. Musks are my favorites

I use Lysol NutraAir spray because my husband tends to be quite flatulant. It stinks but not as bad as my husband does. I like essential oils of various blends when I'm just relaxing, On a side note, I couldn't find my regular trash bags at the store this week so I had to buy some that has the "Fabuloso" scent. Makes my house smell kinda like a gas station bathroom- it's even making my dogs sneeze.
