I like this idea! Trader Joes had rosemary wreaths and trees at xmas, and I so considered buying them! I think I'll see if they have one for Valentines (and beyond).

I've been with Home Interiors for 30 years and in one of my many training classes I learned that to zap odors from the air burn any candle. It doesn't have to be a scented candle it can be unscented. You can buy these at the Dollar Tree for $l in pillar form. There's something about the odor molecules in the air get zapped by the burning of the candle. Watch after holidays like Christmas I got red and white pillars at the dollar tree for 50 cents. (I use them in my jack-o-lanterns and luminaries at Halloween) The cinammon in water on the stove works great, too.

Good Evening Ladies

Some natural things you can do to make your home smell clean is:

Use one of those oil potpourri burner things that has the tea light on the bottom... add water and lemon juice with or without peels, as the oil heats it will naturally scent the room. You can also do that with oranges/grapefruit. Cinnamon sticks work well as do vanilla beans.

Also in the summer as you are taking nature hikes look around you in nature... cherries/apples/cranapples/ can all be laid out to dry and made into a potpourri by adding fragrance oils to them, just a little.

I see one member mentioned making carpet freshener... that's one thing I miss since we got rid of our carpeting. You can also add fragrance oils to this mix and have a totally awesome smelling house.
