-
For fragrant interiors: place aromatic herbs in kitchens (rosemary, basil,
sage, dill). Dry the herbs hanging upside down, tied with a pretty
ribbon.
- You can also dry herbs in or over a fire for a lovely smell. Fresh sage
gives off a great aroma when burnt.
- Use scented candles of various colors on windows, on the mantel, near
stairs, on a table, or in a candlabra. You can decorate them yourself
with colored wax paper.
- Scent rooms with pots of snowdrops, crocuses, hyacinth, paper
whites, freesia, lavender. Let them grow!
- Use fragrant pine branches for holidays.
- Place potpourri in bowls on radiator to spread the aroma.
- Tie potpourri in a handkerchief and tuck in drawers and linen closets or
put in pretty bags to hang on doorknobs.
- Place potpourri in the bathroom so the steam will bring out the scent.
- Spray stationery with fragrance mist lightly.
- Use scented soaps - or scent with natural oils.
- When roses fade, wrap petals in muslin for a scented dresser drawer.
- Most useful herbs: hyssop, rosemary, sage, salad burnet, thyme,
winter savory
- Kitchen windowsill herbs: chervil, chives, parsley, winter savory
- Greenhouse herbs: french tarragon, lemon verbena, licorice, mint,
scented pelargonium. These may also grow in your garden outside.
- Peppermint smells great and picks up the area or you!
Grow the mint or just use mint essence, dilute and spray.
- Lemon and citrus smells are bright and wonderful. Place bowls of bright
citrus in rooms or from a hanging basket.
- Decorate: push cloves into lemons or oranges and arrange in a bowl.
- Use essences - scented oils of sandalwood, rose, etc. and heat them to
spread lovely warm aromas.
- Fill a clear glass vase with dried herbs or potpourri.
- A bowl of fresh roses or other fragrant flowers is lovely. Or hang the
flowers to dry upside down from a curtain rod.
