Admittedly, I have a bit of a sensitive sense of smell, and when I say “a bit,” I mean I can smell funnel cake from three blocks away and everyone else thinks I’m crazy. It’s a blessing and a curse because I can often smell funky stuff before anyone else too.
Even if you don’t have a sensitive nose, making sure your house and car smell fresh is a wonderful way to make your environment a little less stressful. Check out a few of these odd hacks for amping up the fresh scent.
1. Hang eucalyptus in the shower
Create a bathroom oasis by hanging a branch of Eucalyptus in the shower. Steam from the shower will release essential oils and produce a comfortable smell. Try to hang it away from the running water and it’ll last for a few weeks.

2. Scented wax cubes in a jar
Poke holes in the lid of a mason jar and place a few scented wax cubes in the jar, close the lid and leave it alone. The wax will melt when the car heats up, releasing the scent.
