What scent should I use for an open house?

[Mako89]

I'm trying to sell my house and I have no idea what scent I should get for candles during the open house

@Mako89 I'd rec Fresh Cut Roses from YC.  I've also heard gourmand scents like chocolate chip cookies are highly recommended.  BBW has some foodie scents.

Beautiful recommendations @greeneyedgirl107 I also came here to suggest baking chocolate chip cookies. 😀

@CynthieLu great minds think alike!  🍪

Check out the Candles and Home Fragrance 2022 thread for ideas, too.

Also @WinglessOne dropped a great tip the other day.  Body Spray + strategically placed cotton balls.  (I definitely remember doing this with my CK fragrances in college 🤣)

@danielledanielle  I used to do that with Dior Poison, which I also used to wear all the time. Like I needed to fully cocoon myself in it at all times. 😂 I still do it with fragrance samples I like on paper strips but not on my skin. 

@Mako89  Realtors and real estate agents often recommend baking cookies or bread to get that warm inviting scent in the home. Cedar, vanilla, and fresh linen/laundry scents are also safe bets: they’re universally comforting. Even something like #Maison Margiela REPLICA' By The Fireplace Diffuser 6.3 oz / 185 mL diffuser could work: to me, it smells more vanilla than smoky. You don’t want something that smells heavily smoky during an open house for obvious reasons. 😅 Yankee Candle makes a nice clean linen candle that has good throw. 

Good luck with your open house!

Cotton balls with your favorite body spray or perfume? That's very interesting @danielledanielle 

Kind of a homemade air freshener?

Not exactly @CynthieLu ,  more like homemade potpourri
