I am wanting some type of long lasting fragrance for my home. I don't really know anything about the Scentsy things. What does everyone recommend & why??

I can’t burn candles in my apartment, so I use a plug in tart warmer.  Right now I have evergreen scented oil in it....smells great.   I have it on my kitchen counter and it fills my 2 bedroom apartment with the scent.  Nice but not overpowering.

I have candle warmers and also melt tarts, but my favorite way to scent is to warm a pot of water on the stove that has cinnamon, cloves, and/or imitation vanilla flavoring in it.   It’s cheap, and I’m adding moisture as well as scent to the house.   You can also add cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and citrus peels to the water.

 I just make sure my house is clean and I will buy large candles from Yankee and just leave the lid off for a for a few hours and close it back up. The Yankee and Wick candles have a good cold throw of scent. Also, I make sure I always have open containers of baking soda in my closets, it really makes a difference in the musty smell. My visitors tell me my house smells like church so I'm doing something right.

I like the electric Yankee easy melts.  Plug it in, it melts with no smoke.  You can easily change out the scents.  I bought mine on sale at Kohls.

I like a warmer & scented wax melts because there's no open flame.  I'd be concerned about using a diffuser, thinking our cat might knock it over and the oil would spill and damage furniture or carpet.  Fortunately our warmers are in places where the cat doesn't go.
