My aunts house is that of better home and gardens and growing up I always remembered her house having two signature scents depending on the time of year. She has dogs, horses, kids, etc. Her biggest advice to me was to ensure my house was neutral scented before using any fragrances to scent my home. Number 1 tip was a good either canister vacuum or bagged vacuum (she had one built into the houses), she cleaned with a lot of bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda so cleaning chemical scents didn’t clash with her home fragrance, she cleaned trash cans, sinks, toilets, and blankets every few days so they didn’t hold scents that linger. Fresh air every morning and every night to let your house air out especially with pets even if it’s just 10 minutes. Doors throughout the house open throughout the day to help circulate stagnant air so one room doesn’t smell stale compared the rest of the house. Skip the wallflowers, pura, etc. invest in quality candles that put off scent without even lighting, reed diffusers for small spaces, and fragrance oils for passive diffusing. Make sure the scents are from the same family ie vanillas with vanillas, lavender with lavender, santal with santal even if the brands aren’t the same try to make it harmonious. She had a home fragrance most of the year that smelled like her perfume so you always knew it was herShe had some tricks like fragrance oil on the air filter, on little felt stickies under her couch/coffee table/the cabinet she had her trash in, she would put frangrance oil inside her decorations like vases with faux flowers.
