A Sensually Scented Home

There are many ways to scent your home using perfumes and herbs
In today’s world, you will find many gadgets on the market that
are designed to make your home smell like scented flower fields
or warm ocean winds
The main problem with using modern products like air fresheners
and incense is that the fragrance fades quickly Air fresheners
also put chemicals in the air that those with sensitive lungs
may find disagreeable
There are many alternative ways to scent a home where the
fragrance lasts for weeks, months or yearsthat are not only
more affordable but that also smell more wonderful
One method would be to take squares of cloth and make little
pillows about 4 inches square stuffed with herbs or nicely
scented potpourri Lavender buds make wonderful smelling
sachets, as do dried citrus rinds and dried flowers
Place these small pillows wherever you would like the scent to
lingerin the bathroom, closet or under your sofa
You can also make nice decorations of plaster of Paris to hang
in your closets, by your windows or in your car To do this,
purchase candy moulds, essential oils (or any scented item like
perfume or potpourri) and small twine Mix the scent of your
choice into your plaster of Paris, pour into your moulds, then
take pieces of twin and tie the ends into a knot to create a
loop Press the knot into your plaster so that the twine will
stay in place once the plaster dries
A nice twist for this method would be to mould your plaster into
small oval Tupperware bowls then stack them neatly in baskets
throughout your home, These are known as scented rocks and make
attractive décor
A nice way to get the scent of roses in your home would be to
make rosewater soaked papers, and use these as stuffing inside
of your scented pillows instead of dried florals or herbs
To do this, simmer a cup of rose petals with one cup of water
for 3 to 4 hours until the water is strongly scented If the
water evaporates during the simmering, just add a bit more
Once the concentration is strong, strain the mixture, then place
strips of paper in the water and simmer until most of the water
is evaporated Next, lay your paper somewhere to dry, such as
laying them on a towel or hanging them from a clothes hanger
Once dry, tear into little pieces and place in your sachets
Although the scent may not be as strong as you would like, once
your pillows have been made and sit in place for a time, you
will notice a nice, slight rose scent in your home You simply
need to give your home time to warm the papers, which releases
the scent
You may also use these papers in your vacuum cleaner Place the
strips in an envelope and place the envelope in your vacuums
bag As you vacuum your home, you will notice a nice rose scent
in the air
