I don't know about you, but I love having a house that Smells good !
And for that, nothing better than good natural scents to perfume the whole house.
However, some people swear by a good shot of chemical Air Wick to perfume their home...
Why spend money on artificial scents when you can make your own home fragrance at home?
I tested lots of recipes with citrus fruits, spices, herbs that give an incredible scent to the whole house.
Best of all, you can use the peels from the oranges or apples you just ate instead of throwing them away.
Here are 7 super easy home fragrance recipes to always have a home that smells good . Watch:
1. Put about 500 ml of water in a saucepan.
2. Add the fragrance ingredients you have chosen from one of the lists below.
3. Bring to a boil, then as soon as it boils, put on low heat.
4. Do not let the water evaporate completely. Add more if needed.
5. Let the sweet fragrance gently spread throughout all the rooms of the house for at least half an hour.
Here are 7 home fragrance blend recipes that I prefer at home:
- 1 sliced orange
- 1 sliced lemon
- 1 whole orange
- ½ lemon
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tablespoon of cloves
- 2 sliced apples
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 slice of lemon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 pine branches
- 2 drops of peppermint essential oil
- 10 slices of ginger
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- ½ tablespoon of cloves
- 1 whole nutmeg
- 1 slice of lemon
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 sliced limes
- 2 sprigs of fresh mint
- ½ teaspoon of peppermint essential oil
When eating citrus fruits or apples, store the peelings in a Ziploc bag in the freezer until you have enough to make your favorite blend.
If you have a very large area to perfume, you can of course adapt the quantity of ingredients.
Be creative, because the possibilities are endless. Don't hesitate to add what you like:rose petals, lilac branches, verbena, star anise, bergamot, clementine...
