But fragrancing a home doesn’t always need a scented candle or a plug-in air freshener. Sometimes it just takes two spices most kitchens already have. Here are some simple steps through which you can also fill your home with these smells properly without overdoing it.
Everyone loves walking into a home filled with a good, soothing fragrance that almost lights up the space and takes people to a bed of flowers. After all, who doesn’t like to take a walk into a home that smells like a bakery in December?
The strong, spicy-sweet scent released during simmering tends to sit on top of and dilute more stubborn odours, from last night’s cooking to general staleness in a closed room. These spicy smells help to cut down on or cover up lingering smells in kitchens, bathrooms, or other enclosed spaces. It’s a low-effort fix compared to deep-cleaning or airing out a space for hours, especially useful in winter when opening windows isn’t always practical. The smell of simmering cinnamon and nutmeg is calming and cosy, and can be associated with the feeling of a warm kitchen or a holiday home.
