If you've ever experienced a smelly room, then you know that there are only a few things worse than that. I think most nice things smell nice (with the exception of skin care, always opt fragrance-free), and so should your home. It's always nice to return to a lovely smelling house after a long day that might make the already hard day slightly better. Room fresheners are just that one product that everyone tends to buy, whether it's as basic as Odonil, a staple in Indian homes or something fancier. If you're searching for some options other than what you get in a departmental store, then here's a list of the best room air fresheners to buy online.
Step Into Heaven Every Time You Come Home With These 9 Best Room Fresheners
Bath & Body Works Endless Weekend Wallflowers Fragrance
Bath & Body Works is known for their extensive range of fragrances — you'll get everything from body mists and lotions to candles and room fresheners. While we love the vanilla scent, it might get a little overpowering for some, so we're suggesting the Endless Weekend Wallflowers to create a relaxing and refreshing environment. The scent is smells like fresh summer mandarin, sun-kissed magnolia and blue coconut water. One refill lasts about 30 days, and is able to fill up a room with amazing fragrance!
Forest Essentials Room Surround Spray Malathi
Jasmine fragrance is known to have calming and soothing properties, and if that's what you're going for, then this Room Surround Spray from Forest Essentials is definitely something you should check out. The two main fragrance notes here are jasmine and fresh mogra, which sounds so calming we can only imagine how relaxing it'll smell!
Marks & Spencers Balance Room Spray
Marks & Spencer's home section always calls to us when we visit their store, and they have a stunning collection of home decor as well as knick-knacks like room sprays and candles. Before getting into how this smells, it's important we know how lovely and minimal the packaging is — this bottle will look great just kept on a console table also. The scent is of cedarwood with accents of floral notes of jasmine and geranium with a mild note of spice from black pepper and cinnamon leaf.
Neroli Reed Diffuser
Sparys aren't the only way you can freshen up your home. If you're looking for something that you have just to refill once every one or two months then reed diffusers are a great pick. All you have to do is put the wooden sticks, known as reeds, in a bottle of fragrant oil, and the reeds will absorb it and ensure that your room always smells fresh and clean. Fewer sticks mean less scent, and more reeds will increase the amount of fragrance diffused into the room. This fragrance is of Neroli, with top notes of orange flower, followed by hints of jasmine and honey blossom.
L'Occitane Uplifting Home Spray
L'Occitane's Uplifting spray is one of the more expensive room-freshening sprays we found on the market. This one has Immortelle Essential Oil, which is known for its rejuvenating properties and its sweet, floral scent; Cypress Essential Oil, which has a mic of fresh, spicy and woody notes; and Eucalyptus, Basil and Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil, which are known for their refreshing and uplifting properties.
Pravaah India Wax Tablets
For those looking for a sustainable option to freshen up their room, we'd suggest getting wax tablets. All you have to do is hang them like you would an Odonil pouch and let them do its work. This pack from Pravaah India has five fragrances for you to try — Lime, Lavender, British Rose, Oud & Amber, Cinnamon Vanilla — so you'll definitely find something you like. There are two sizes to choose from: the small size (25 to 30 gm) is ideal for small spaces like bathrooms, cupboards and powder rooms, while the large ones (55 to 60 gm) can be used in all spaces. One tablet can last you about 45 to 120 days, depending on the size and ventilation of the room.
Mineral Project Maroc Candle
During winter, the best way to freshen up the room and also make it cosy is by lighting up a candle. We have been obsessed with the product range of Mineral Project. It's one of the few candle brands that does fragrant candles right, which means that the fragrance will last you the entire burn. We picked the Maroc Candle, especially for the vanilla notes, just suits the winter time like nothing else.
Pro-Tip: If you're looking for more clean candle brands, then head here.
Samskara Home Mogra Spray
Another room spray we found is from Samskara Home, this is a mogra-scented spray. Mogra is a lovely light scent that can fill up the room without being too overpowering. This is a 200 ml bottle, which will last you a good amount of time, making this a great value for money purchase as well.
At Home by Nilkamal Electronic Diffuser
If there are specific essential oils that you like, then you can look into something as simple as an oil diffuser. All you need to do for this electronic diffuser is to plug it into a socket, add your favourite essential oil with a little bit of water and turn it on, and in no time your room will smell just how you want it.
Pro-Tip: For the winter season if you're looking for humidifiers that'll also double up as diffusers check out this list.
