The first thing people notice about your home is its smell—especially during the holidays. 

And if you're using the right products, your home probably smells great! 

But if you're not using anything like candles, room spray, a reed diffuser, or any sort of fragrance, your space might have an unwelcome odor—and, scary thought, you may not even realize it. 

All kinds of things can contribute to your house not smelling its best: pets, your trash can, refrigerator, and laundry can all prevent your space from having a fresh scent. But if you live with it every day, you may not be able to detect it anymore. 

Luckily, I'm here to help. I'm a senior commerce editor who has tried a wide variety of candles, diffusers, sprays, and even a simmer pot to make my house smell wonderful. 

And if you're inviting people over for Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, or even Christmas, you'll want your place to smell amazing. Regardless of if you've gone nose blind to your current situation or not!

I've rounded up my favorite fresh-makers, including scented candles, a room spray that also cleans, and chic-looking reed diffusers, so you can get your space smelling great before the holidays. 

Whatever your scent preference—woodsy, floral, citrus-y, or something more seasonal like pine—these products will transform your home into a fragrant haven that all will feel comfortable in. 

Plus, these luxe scents won't break your budget. Many of these options are on sale now!

Homecourt's mini candle comes in all the same scents, but this small candle is only $20!

Thanks to its size, this item would also make a great stocking stuffer.
