By Sarah Osee
Home fragrances help address unpleasant household odors and they give your home an appealing smell.

Candles are the classiest way to address odor because they're decorative and socially acceptable almost any time. You can burn a candle at the dinner table when you have guests, or in other rooms when entertaining, and create a cozy atmosphere and add an appealing scent.

Another way to add a pleasant fragrance to your home is to use spray air fresheners. They work quickly and do a good job in an enclosed environment, but classy, they're not. ... Read More
