What do you use to scent your home? Incense? Scented Candles? Room Sprays? Potpourri? Oil Diffusers?
When you walk into your front room, or bedroom, what aroma pleases you? Cinnamon? Vanilla? Dragons Blood (my fav)?
Lavender?
:o :)

lavender has to be one of my favourites

All of the above! :T

I usually have Plug Ins in a few outlets. I also use incence a lot and candles even more. If I am in need of a specific scent/magical working/healing I'll use essential oils in a burner.

In general, candle scents are seasonal. Right now, I have a lot of pumkin, coffee, spices. Soon I'll start with cinnamon and balsam. In the spring, light florals, fresh scents and summer, I like fruits and citrus. (I'm wacked , I know)

Essential oil scents I like are bergamot, sweet orange and lavender.

Incence- nag champa is my fav.

Like Chryssi said, "All of the Above".:)
And I can't really think of a favorite.
Except for a scent that come from a local speciality shop that is called TWIGS AND BERRIES.
I just love that scent and that shop is the only place you can get it. It's just wonderful - but, the owner of the shop is rude so I don't go there much.:(

All of the above here too. Lavender and heather are my current faves, but I switch around according to mood.

plug ins and potpourri.... I'm not sure what scent the plug in is (some Hawaiian scent....I lost the box), potpourri is "apple cider", I believe.


In my room, I use incense & oil diffusers....Usually my room smells like cinnamon. :mmm:

Incense - and loads of it! My favouite at the moment is some I got from the Tibetan shop in Dundee, but I also have this wax stuff - potpourri tarts - that you put in an oil burner.

M flatmate likes rose or lemon the best though!

Right now, my room smells like a mixture of Peach (candles and essential oil) and Hawiian Ginger (incense and oil). Kind of makes you hungry for fruit when you walk in tho..... :)

I use an oil diffuser and tart pots from Yankee Candle. Right now I have the "harvest" tart in. It's that time of year. The rest of the house has those Plug in things.

As I'm currently living in a dorm, candles and incense and the like are strictly prohibited. I do, however, have a Glade air freshener thing that you plug in. It's the oil one and it smells pretty good.

But at home I loved candles and incense for the atmosphere they created.

Wow, alot of plug-in users here:p
I like those too, but they never seem to last long enough for me.
Incense (nag champa and hawaiian breezes from Triloku) are my favorites. I also use Nag Champa potpourri;)
Of course, it's getting that time of year for me to start making candles again.....THAT is my favorite way of scenting my home.:D

I like candles the most but I"m also one of the people in the dorms, so I'll have to put that on hold for a couple of years. Right now I have a plug in oil dispenser, and I like the rain and water scents.
