Room spray/fragrance

Aldi have some lovely ones, not aerosol with gas in them just sprays like perfume sprays, quite a good size too,
Cant remember what the one i got was called but it smelled like perfume not toilet spray, about £3.00
I keep meaning to get another but i forget

Hi nankate, I love room sprays.Have you tried the m and s ones, I like the fig scent it comes in a room spray or oil for a burner, smells expensive but it's only around £ 5 to 10.They have quite a few different ones, cut flowers is another if they still do it, haven't had that one for a while.

Why not just buy real flowers instead of something that may be filling your home with chemicals.

Flowers rarely smell nowadays I find.

Lilies are fragrant, and stocks.

It is I know personal taste, but I always associate room sprays with cloakrooms, bathrooms and masking unpleasant smells. I prefer to just open windows if a room smells musty or is smoky.

Thanks folks some good suggestions here I will check out. DH fills the house with flowers and pot plants but as Kitty says they rarely smell (or I can’t smell them it’s an age thing) other than hyacinths.

Another vote for M&S. Our shut last Saturday ☹️

We have an air exchange system so smells don't linger , I still prefer opening windows as we were taught in Home Economics years ago . I can remember rugs and cushions being " aired " during the weekly blitz on the living room , probably needed from the amount of cigarette smoke ! Rugs over the line beaten to death , lino scrubbed with green soap on your hands and knees , no wonder I was slim then ?

Tanith, I agree about the chemicals.
Can’t understand why anyone would want to breathe them in

Our neighbour has one of those plug in things. I hate it and all room sprays, maybe because I have asthma. We have Jasmine in the porch and the smell of that wafts through. As MOnica says, lilies smell lovely.

I don't mean to be rude but I don't understand why anyone uses air-fresheners of any kind in their home. I agree absolutely with MOnica & others. Why not open the window? I avoid all air fresheners, sprays, etc. IMO they are bad for health (breathing) and for the environment.

M&S rhubarb flower is lovely. Also have pot pourri with nectarine and orange in it.

Aldi do Jo Malone dupes of the air freshener spray. They are about £3ish and smell very similar.

The fresh air products are much in use here as poor OH is incontinent. I use febreze cotton fresh. We cannot open windows as he gets very very cold. I know they are bad for the environment, but sometimes a compromise with one's conscience is needed.

I don't use the room sprays as the smell seems to go almost immediately, I use oil burners with granules that I buy from Amazon, Nag Champa and Devon violets being two of my preferences, or wax melts, my favourite wax melts are from Bomb.Tend not to go for scented candles, and I find Yankee Candle over priced and over rated

I recommend the M&S grapefruit and ginger room spray NanKate It smells so fresh and clean. I have the room spray and the candles too. It’s gorgeous .

Meant to add that it is £5 .

Like to go the local lavender fields in the summer. You can pick as much as you like and a dried display fragrance lasts for ages.

I like all the M&S fragrances they seem to last a lot longer than most,I have looked for a freesia fragrance but have not found a Company that makes it do any of you know of one I can try.

*Luckygirl, you situation is very different and very particular, but for anyone with no special circumstances. I would choose not to spray scented chemicals around my house.

There was a recent research report that showed how damaging they could be to the health of occupants of the house www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35281338

I like the Airwick plug-ins

No plugins. No sprays. No diffusers.
Open windows regularly and buy flowers.
I'm currently enjoying stargazer lilies.

I strongly dislike those plug in things, stayed at a friend's house once and there was one in the bedroom. It gave me a headache.

I have a diffuser in the cloakroom as I don't think the ventilation is very good but wouldn't want one in other rooms.

None of these things are any good if anyone in the household has asthma. Plug ins are nearly as bad as air spray.
