Scenting Your Home with Perfume

Video Transcript

"Tip #11: Scenting your home. There are many, many fragrances on the market that are deliberately meant to scent your home. Of course, if you have an enormous amount of money, you can take your eau de cologne, or your perfume, or your eau de toilette, and use it to scent your linens, the air, your curtains, your rugs, your pillows, however you want to. Or, you can go the opposite route and buy a cheap room freshener on a shelf in the supermarket. Supermarket air fresheners are full of chemicals. You don't want to spray them into the room, and you don't want to breathe them. They should not be in your car, and they should not be in your home. My favorite alternative to a supermarket air freshener is one of three choices. Number one, scented candles. Many lines sell their own scented candles, so you could buy your favorite perfume in a scented candle form. However, if you don't have a favorite perfume yet, or you don't necessarily want to wear the same thing as your home smells like, there are many different candle stores in every mall. You can just go and pick out the ones that you like, smell them, light them to test how the fragrance changes when they're lit, and then take it home. Put it in your favorite room and just wait for the smell to disperse. My second favorite option is those little jars that have sticks coming out of them. I don't know what they're called, but they have a liquid form of perfume in them and the sticks come up, absorb the liquid and disperse it into the air so that you get a constant and regular flow of perfume into the air of the room. Finally, scented room sprays and linen sprays are a wonderful way to freshen your favorite room in your house."
