Not candles — guests always ask how my house smells amazing, and it's down to these 7 tricks

A smart minimalist scandinavian living room.

I pride myself on having a great-smelling home. The second you step foot in my entryway, a subtle warm scent oozes through the air — and not to toot my own trumpet, but considering I have a messy pug and a crazy toddler, this is quite impressive. Just ask my friends — they're always asking me what the scent of the season is.

Yes, I've reviewed many a candle and reed diffuser, and while I do have several of these dotted around my home, there are certain hacks I always find myself doing when guests are around the corner, my house is upside down, and it's too cold outside to open all of the windows and doors. And it's not just lighting a candle and walking away, as I only use these when my child is asleep, so this isn't even an option.
