The first thing people notice about your home is its smell—especially during the holidays.
And if you're using the right products, your home probably smells great!
But if you're not using anything like candles, room spray, a reed diffuser, or any sort of fragrance, your space might have an unwelcome odor—and, scary thought, you may not even realize it.
All kinds of things can contribute to your house not smelling its best: pets, your trash can, refrigerator, and laundry can all prevent your space from having a fresh scent. But if you live with it every day, you may not be able to detect it anymore.
Luckily, I'm here to help. I'm a senior commerce editor who has tried a wide variety of candles, diffusers, sprays, and even a simmer pot to make my house smell wonderful.
And if you're inviting people over for Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, or even Christmas, you'll want your place to smell amazing. Regardless of if you've gone nose blind to your current situation or not!
I've rounded up my favorite fresh-makers, including scented candles, a room spray that also cleans, and chic-looking reed diffusers, so you can get your space smelling great before the holidays.
Whatever your scent preference—woodsy, floral, citrus-y, or something more seasonal like pine—these products will transform your home into a fragrant haven that all will feel comfortable in.
Plus, these luxe scents won't break your budget. Many of these options are on sale now!
Shop my picks below and get your house smelling good ASAP.
Courteney Cox's brand Homecourt makes a clean-burning, lushly fragranced candle designed to enhance the ambiance of any space in the home. Each candle is hand-poured into kiln-fired ceramic vessels.
Choose from seven scents. I personally love the scent Neroli Leaf, but if you're going for a holiday vibe you'll want to snag a candle in Balsam Fireplace.
Homecourt's mini candle comes in all the same scents, but this small candle is only $20!
Thanks to its size, this item would also make a great stocking stuffer.
This scented spray is designed to lift away dirt, smudges, and grease without leaving streaks or residue.
It's perfect for wiping down your countertops, removing smudges from cabinets, and more. Plus, it leaves a light scent wherever you've cleaned.
According to the brand, this room spray is inspired by The Delano Hotel in Miami Beach.
It features a burst of sweet orange and refreshing green tea, lemon zest and lemongrass, plus notes of lily, jasmine, amber, and musk. It's on sale now!
Scott Disick's Talentless brand has collaborated with Hotel Collection on a scent inspired by Lord Disick's favorite hotel, The Setai Miami Beach.
It features bergamot, orange, neroli, rose, jasmine, geranium, and lemongrass, with base notes of vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, and musk.
It's on sale now.
This vegan, cruelty-free, soy candle smells like fresh air, petitgrain, eucalyptus, sea salt, musk, sandalwood, and powder.
It boasts a 60+ hour burn time. It's made without parabens and phthalates.
According to the brand, this earthy candle smells like natural herbs, rich sandalwood, and fresh lavender.
