Air Freshener

[Rich_W]

OK, so I'm a single guy in his mid (getting dangerously close to late!) 30s. The other day I opened the door and was greeted by the smell of, well tbh I'm not sure. Combination of Coffee, Toast, last nights Chinese in the bin, my laudry with a subtle overtone hint of Gypsum Plaster.

It's not unpleasant. Well possibly to a lady it might not be great. I reckon I can do better

So I ventured to that aisle in Tesco no man will ever enter. And examined at some length the various air fresheners. Whether that's the aerosol spray or the little battery once every 30mins types. I can't help but feel that "Lavender Meadow" "Relaxing Zen" or even "Bali Sandalwood" and really aimed at the rugged-handsome-man's-man-about-town I like to imagine I am All a bit feminine.

So over to you guys. Do Armani or Boss (pour Homme) do one

On a related note, smelly stuff on your laundry?

You're thinking about this the wrong way. Women love women's smells so the flowery st is where you want to be.

I just want "Fresh" to be fair.

Whatever happened to Pine or something?

Do Magic Tree do a "New House Scent?"

OP, if it's the impression it gives the laydees you are concerned about, I'd suggest one of those bottles of stuff (lemongrass & something, teatree and something else) with those reeds poking out of the top.

They're called diffusers.
I'm house sitting at the moment and the owners have a
Jo Malone (London) pomegranite noir scent surround diffuser in the lounge which gives off a very pleasing scent.

err £90!!!

Molton Browns are around £40 from John Lewis it seems so I'll go down that route.

And with Fabreeze as recommended above.

Cheers everyone

you could try by not putting food in your bin.

Where should I put it then? I live in a flat. And the bin in question does have a lid. I kind of over egged the badness of it as was more noticeable than normal


Though I'll admit I need to address the hall carpets maybe as they were the previous occupants and a bit worn generally. Not sure if they smoked etc

Air fresheners are the work of the Devil. Avoid. It just shows you don't clean.

Just clean and air the place... and chuck out the rubbish.

Don't try and mask with hideous chemical smells.

HTH

Yeah because I put on Armani Code smelly stuff when I go out because I couldn't be bothered to shower first

Diffuser is an Air Wick one "Water Iris and Night Orchid"
