What can you scent your house with that doesnt smother?

Ive always liked most any type of good scented thing. I espeically like candles or incense. Mom hates most anything scented at all. She says it smothers her. Im in need of good answers.

you can leave some coffee beans around to neutralise odours,the can look kinda cool in a bowl on your coffee table too. that might tone down scents in your home. fresh flowers ( expensive - unless you grow your own), herbs, boil a pan of water on the stove with cinnamon, clove anything like that in it will give a pleasant scent to kitchen and rooms nearby,
wipe surfaces down with orange oil cleaner, nice scent not sure how long it'll last though.
a drop of essential oil on a light bulb ( but i overpowered my bathroom with lavender oil so make sure it' s really a tiny drop if it's a small room)

My son ,who is 13, found online where you take a spray bottle fill it like 2/3 water than add liquid fabric softner and you can use it like febreeze. Works great, doesn't stain. But you should probaly test it first. With the new scents of fabric softners out there you can personalize your scent---I like vanilla lavender! It's also cheaper than febreeze.

"Cucumber green tea" is a very mild, very pleasant scent. It's my favorite at the moment.

try fresh lavender crushed into a bolw or if you cant find that you can get essential oils from just about anywhere. they will come in all scents. just put bout 5 drops of the oil into a bowl of water in a room and it leaves it smelling lovely. or try the idea with the spray bottle of water but put the oil into that instead. oil burners are quite nice too. you place the essential oil into the holder on the top and light a plain tea light under it and the heat releases the scent into the room. although you dont even need the candle to release the scent but it does help. i used a mixture of baby oil and lavender oil to help heal my new belly peircing and every time i open the contaner holding the mixture the whole room smells of lavender.
