3 9 RELAXATION SCENTS AND SENSIBILITIES Five essential oil fragrances that possess healing properties Room sprays Room sprays are champions when it comes to masking unpleasant odours quickly. More importantly, these bottled mists usually contain a select blend of essential oils that calm frazzled nerves and lift sombre moods in a jiffy. And because they are portable enough to carry around, you can slip a room spray in your purse and take it out whenever you need an instant pick-me-upper. Organic Room Spray, $25 from Artisan of Sense Reed diffusers Subtle and relatively long- lasting, reed diffusers scent the home with wooden sticks that absorb the essential oil of your choice. Once soaked in fragrance, the sticks are turned upside down for the air to carry the scent across the room. Reed diffusers also operate without electricity, so there are no switches turn on or power plugs to deal with. Going on a holiday? Keep your home smelling fresh by popping some reeds into your linen closet, shoe cabinet, storage room, bomb shelter, or any area that produces a musty odour.
