Updated: Mar. 16, 2022
There's something about your favorite store and its irresistible aroma. Good news: You don't have to break your wallet to get a whiff of these yummy scents.
Cozy Like Yankee Candle
Create your own homemade stove-top potpourri with a quartered orange, cranberries, cloves, and cinnamon sticks in a pot full of water. Simmer on low. Replace water as needed.
Classy Like Williams-Sonoma
To create a fresh, clean scent, let two cups of water come to a boil with a sprig of rosemary, vanilla extract, and the juice from half a lemon. Toss in the rind, too: It’ll add zest and look pretty.
Sweet Like the Body Shop
For a homemade version of this scent, add orange slices, fresh ginger, and a spoonful of almond extract to a pot. Cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer.
Tropical Like Tommy Bahama
Take the family on a vacation without leaving home. Just fill a saucepan about halfway with water; add lime, coconut oil, and vanilla; and let it simmer for as long as you want.
Woodsy Like Restoration Hardware
Bring a pot of water with cedar or pine to a boil. To remove a strong odor, try adding two bunches of bay leaves to the mixture.
Calm Like Pottery Barn
To conjure a soothing scent, mix dried lavender, anise, nutmeg, whole cloves, and a cinnamon stick with water; bring it to a simmer. Sources: Yahoo! News, brightnest.com, theyummylife.com, myfrugaladventures.com
