Of course you can use your favorite perfume scents as well.
1. Floor Vent Filters:
I've purchased scented vent filters before, and prefer certain scents. Lemon or fresh clean scents are my faves. My perfume choices generally reflect those aromas.
Presuming your perfume is an aroma you love, you can make your own vent filters. There are two ways to do this:
- You can purchase unscented ready-made vent filters and spray them with your favorite perfume before you place them inside your vents.
- Or you can cut cheesecloth to fit just inside your floor vents and spray them with your favorite scented perfume.
- Don't use them in every vent in your home. Doing so can restrict air flow. Pick and choose the places that would best be suited.
2. Make Your Own Spray for Linens:
In a spray bottle, dilute a little bit of perfume with water. Base the amount of perfume on the strength of aroma you're going for. Start with a very small amount (less than a teaspoon) of perfume then increase it from there.
Once you have your linen spray to the aroma you prefer, you can spritz it on your bedding, pillows and drapes. Spray your couches and chairs only if the material permits.
3. Closet Fresheners:
You can make your own closet fresheners with perfume. Here's how:
- Soak cotton balls with your favorite perfume
- Let them dry out
- Place them in a cloth bag similar to a small make-up bag
- Put the bag in a closet or drawer
4. Bubble Bath and Bath Oil:
Most of us use scented bubble bath. However, if you're fussy about the aromas you choose, you can make your own.
Choose unscented bath oil or unscented bubble bath and add your favorite scented perfume to the bottle. Give it a shake, and you've created your own personal bath products. If you'd rather not add perfume to the bottle, add your appropriate amount directly into the bath water.
Note: If anyone in your family has allergies, depending on their allergies, it's best not to use perfume scented anything.

Quite a unique idea, Barbara. I would have never thought of using perfume for other uses, but your tips are very clever.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat, even a dab can make a difference. I actually use it as room spray sometimes (but not too much of course)
DeleteThese are really great ideas and a wonderful make to make your home smell personalized with a scent you love.
ReplyDeleteLots of great ideas, I wouldn't have thought of these. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for sure, but, having an 87 year old mom, who drenches herself in "scents" I find that I do not want any scents in my home at all. I'm pretty sure she leaves a scent trail in my home when she comes for dinner (which is quite often), so I will share your ideas for my friends, but won't do this myself.
