Is there such thing as a nice-smelling plug in air freshener?

I must have tried them all and most are too floral.

Have smelt the odd nice one (when visiting a show home) but wasn't sure what it was.

Anyone have any recommendations? They're too expensive to make mistakes.

Spray air fresheners are all disgusting but the Yankee Candle vanilla plug-in is lovely. It's not to do with cleaning the house, BecauseI'mWorthIt, sometimes you just have smells you need to get rid of! Frying salmon, for instance, is a nightmare to get rid of - you can clean all the pans and itensils and open all the windows you like but the smell still hangs around for hours. A quick blast of the vanilla plug-in and it's gone. Yankee Candle is the only one I would use, OP.

Agree Yankee is the way to go. Also like the tarts. Haven't tried the plug ins but will do.

we've got a couple of those reed diffuser thingies which are lovely.

And we've also got sweet peas, which I would really recommend growing for next year. I am the world's worst gardener (NOTHING else has grown for me, not even ivy) but I just chuck the sweet pea seeds in the ground and let them get on with it.

The best airfreshner is a clean house.

Get scrubbing and open the windows.

Not a good idea to hide bad smell with more bad smell.
