That old advice about percolating coffee or baking a cake when potential home buyers are looking through your home makes good sense. Those aromas are deeply satisfying and inviting, and they lend a homely feel to the place.
You don't have to tie yourself to the kitchen turning out muffins and scones to make your place smell inviting. For example, you could use bowls of fresh potpourri to fragrance the air. Scatter them through your home and refresh every so often with your favourite essential oils. And when comes to those cleaning jobs, add a few drops of essential oils to the dusting cloth, and to a ball of cotton wool that you place in the bag of the vacuum cleaner. Enjoy the scent of Lavender and Sweet Orange lingering in the air.
In fact, essential oils will enhance your mood at any time of the day or night. Invest in an oil burner and then choose from these essential oils depending on the effect you want:
* Lavender, Clary Sage & Chamomile - for relaxation
* Lemon, Peppermint & Pine - to sharpen your mind
* Bergamot, Hyssop & Orange - to lift your spirits
* Pine & Eucalyptus - for more energy
* Sandalwood, Rose & Jasmine - for those seductive evenings
You could also use scented candles. They give off a lovely, subtle fragrance, perfect for any occasion:
when you are home alone, when you want a touch of romance, or when family and friends join you.
