Create delicious flavors with these simple ideas.

AUTUMN FOG: Make your own room spray filled with all the scents autumn.

Use cinnamon, clove, orange, and cedarwood essential oils.

Mix about ten drops of the oils with two tablespoons of witch hazel or vodka and six tablespoons of boiled and cooled water. Decant into a mini spray bottle and shake to combine. If you like a stronger scent, you may want to add more oils.

Instead of spraying into the air, let your scent linger power by steaming on pillows and throws.

SMELLS: If you think incense is a relic of the hippy days, think again.

Modern incense is loved by top cosmetics companies such as Aesop, who charge £30 for a pack of 33 sticks.

Or a box of 40 boiled clementine incense sticks in a ceramic holder costs £6.50 at Habitat.

ON PONG: Another throwback idea is pot-pourri – dried flowers, leaves and spices make your home smell amazing.

Fill a glass bowl or vase with orange or red pot-pourri to enjoy the look as well as the lingering scent. Look in stores including Range and Dunelm for cheap mixes.

PERFECT FIRES: If you have an open fire or wood stove, you can add some sweet-smelling additions to the flames.

Dried orange peel not only smells great but is also a natural fire starter due to oil in the skin.

Let it dry for a few weeks before using a few pieces on the fire.

You can also add a few cinnamon sticks for a slightly warming scent, or use rosemary or dried thyme on top of the burning logs.
