And I am a person who loves a pleasant aroma. I often burn candles in the hall but the smell, along with the hot air, makes it way upstairs so the visitor is greeted not by, currently, honey patchouli but eau de chien. Rarely a welcoming scent.
If anyone has discovered a truly effective aroma-creator do please share. Even the most expensive candles can be a disappointment and the plug-in ones are just hideous. Do the so-called smell-absorbers actually work? I have my doubts.
Meanwhile Lily gave me this bouquet as a thank you present and the stocks smell divine - which is what made me think about smells in the first place.
I think I'm more of a smell appreciator than a looker. I'm forever sticking my nose in or breaking off bits of leaves and sniffing them. Perhaps I was a dog in a former life. Or I've spent too much time with dogs in this life.
P.S. George has asked me to point out that smell is all a matter of interpretation and that, in the canine world, his smell is of the highly-prized variety.

I feel for George. My sister-in-law had a hound for many years that made her house intolerable for most of us. Perhaps it was a ploy to assure that we out-of-town visitors stayed in hotels? Maybe George could step up his performance to provide you the same service? Ah, we love our animals, don't we? It was a surprise to me how much easier it is to keep our house clean now that we have been without pets for several years.
IMHO, most air fresheners (of whatever form) leave a worse odor than the one being covered up. Opening windows and doors to let in fresh air is a great solution; but, few of us can tolerate that 24 hours/day.
Good luck. Perhaps you should trade your children in on new ones who will think George smells divine?

Google baking soda as air freshener. I know that people say it works in the 'fridge*, but whether it's powerful enough to take on George?
* Can't think what they keep in there, though.
No dog and no me and Husband would have a perfectly clean and tidy house all the time, cop car. I like the trading children option.
I tried baking soda when Uncle was dying, sonata. Not convinced it helped much.
