For a subtle hint of spring with warm scents, try to mix fresh ingredients. Slice the lemons into small pieces, add a bit of fresh rosemary and a few drops of essential lavender oil in the mix. Cook them on the stove, and the wonderful scent will spread through your house.
2. Essential oil as an air freshener
This recipe demands a bit more time, but it is worth the effort! Take your favorite spring essential oil, and add it into a cup of boiling water and add gelatin. Pour it into a bowl by your choice and you have your own air freshener for any room in your house!

Take a bottle that has a sprinkler on the top, a fresh lemon peel and pour some vodka. That is a chemistry free mix that you can add any citrus into, you can even use lime if you feel like it.
4. Tropical potpourri
May your home smell like spring at any given moment! Boil water, add some pineapple juice and some coconut extract and a cinnamon stick! That is the perfect smell for birthdays, lunches or just to make your home smell good!
