Besties, we all know that there’s something about adding your favorite scent to your dorm room that makes it feel a li'l more like home.

While the whole "no naked flames" rule makes total sense from a safety point of view, not being able to scent your dorm with all your go-to fragrances can feel a little frustrating at times.
