Palo Santo
The original name of this plant is bursera graveolen , meaning "sacred wood." Many years ago, it began to be used in healing and energy-clearing sessions, burned as incense. With a sweet aroma of pine, mint, and lemon, palo santo is known for its purifying qualities, and is considerably cheaper than a scented candle. The biggest advantage? While cleansing the air in your space, it can create an incredibly calming ritual.
Open windows
Opening the windows is the simplest gesture of all, and it's completely free. Bringing freshness into your home through open windows quickly eliminates lingering kitchen fumes or other odors that may be emanating from other household chores. Make the entire space feel cleaner by opening the windows, even if only for a short time.
Potpourri
Potpourri is a great way to freshen the air in your home any time of year. Heat water in a small pot and add citrus herbs—lavender, rosemary, and mint—for a summery scent, or add sliced apples, orange peel, cinnamon, and cloves. Set a timer to bring the potpourri to a boil every 30 minutes so you can see if you need to add water or if it's time to turn it off.
Room spray
Room sprays are one of the easiest ways to refresh your space. A quick spritz and your home automatically fills with the fresh scent of your choice.
Essential oil diffusers
Essential oils are an incredible way to scent your home in a subtle way. If you're unsure where to start and how to choose the best oils to use, read our article and discover essential oils. You'll need to use an electric aroma diffuser to constantly emit the fragrance of your chosen essential oil through an ultrasound system, accompanied by a relaxing breeze of cool water vapor. This is one of the best options for scenting any space, always creating a pleasant and clean atmosphere.
