As the weather cools, our homes become a sanctuary from the chill, and nothing sets the mood quite like the right scent. Here’s how to achieve a delicious-smelling home this season with simple scent hacks.
Simmer Pots
Simmer pots are an easy, natural way to fill your home with seasonal aromas. Combine water, cinnamon sticks, orange slices, cloves, and star anise in a pot. Let it simmer on low heat, and your house will smell like a holiday wonderland.
For winter, add cranberries, pine sprigs, and a splash of vanilla for a festive twist.
DIY Essential Oil Blends
Essential oils are a powerful way to customize your home’s fragrance. Blend fall-inspired oils like cinnamon, clove, and sweet orange in a diffuser for an autumn vibe. For winter, switch to peppermint, pine, and eucalyptus for a crisp and refreshing aroma.
Bake the Smell of Comfort Food
Few things are as inviting as the smell of baked goods. Even if you’re not a baker, you can recreate this by warming a baking sheet with vanilla extract or spices in the oven at a low temperature. The scent of cookies or pie will fill your home without the effort.
Scented Candles and Wax Melts
Invest in high-quality candles and wax melts with fall and winter-themed fragrances. Look for scents like pumpkin spice, apple cider, pine forest, or warm vanilla—group candles in clusters for a cozy ambiance and stronger scent throw.
Upgrade with Seasonal Reed Diffusers
Reed diffusers are a low-maintenance way to keep your home smelling fantastic for weeks. Choose scents like amber, fir, or cinnamon. For a DIY option, mix essential oils with carrier oils in a jar, add reeds, and rotate them weekly.
Decorate with Fragrant Elements
Combine décor and fragrance by incorporating elements like cinnamon stick bundles, dried orange garlands, or bowls of potpourri. These add both a visual and aromatic touch to your home.
Use Fabric Sprays and Sachets
Don’t forget about textiles! Use fabric sprays with seasonal scents on cushions, curtains, and throws. Place sachets with dried lavender, cloves, or cedarwood in drawers and closets for a subtle, long-lasting fragrance.
Keep It Fresh with Clean Air
A delicious-smelling home starts with clean air. Use an air purifier, crack a window occasionally, and ensure your home is free of odors before layering on the seasonal scents.
