Can anyone suggest a non-electric, non-candle home scent product that is long lasting?  Now that my Minnesota house is closed up for winter, I would like to use something that smells fresh and does not need to be plugged in or lit.  My home is clean, but I would love to walk into a fresh scent.

Maybe a reed diffuser?

I saw some heat pump air filters that were scented with lavender . I think it was Home Depot

I use Home Works plug ins sparingly. My husband has sinus problems.

I just bought Agraria Home's new reed diffuser scent Riviera Pear. The first day it was a bit too sweet and strong but then settled down and became something I'd get a nice, pleasant whiff of every now and then. 

 

I also treated myself to a refill of my favorite Agraria scent Balsam.

 

The diffusers come with reed sticks as well as a flower-shaped topper that absorbs the fragrant oil.

 

They have other scents you may like better. Those are the only two I've tried. They have excellent potpourri as well.

Get a shachet and put on a vent so that when the heat turns on, it releases the scent.

I have a pot simmering on the stove with cinnamon and vanilla in water; adds moisture and scent, cheaply.   Sometimes I add cloves too, all bought at Dollar General.

Oh - you could also get the car hanging things (scentsy, yankee candle, etc) and put them somewhere inconspicuous.

No, I just prefer the simmer pot to candles or tarts.
