There are more kinds of air freshener than you might realize. An air freshener is not just a little pine shaped stick of smelly wood which you hang up in your car anymore – like all things, it has evolved to give you more options than ever before. If you want an air freshener for your office, you might get one of the automatic dispenser types. These plug in to the wall, and are filled with scented oil. They usually have either a heating element that heats the scented oil and causes it to float off into the air, or else they have a mister that slowly sprays it out.
Of course, one of the most classic types of air freshener is the potpourri. This is a decorative bundle of different scented herbs and pieces of wood and bark, which you can put in your house to give it a warm, refreshing smell. And they look so great – earthy and crafty, that you'll want to have one of these air fresheners in every room just to make your house smell and look lovely. Of course, there is always the spray air freshener, and this is the first one most people think of when they hear the term. These are to get rid of a bad smell – you just spray a genorous dose of this aerosol air freshener into the room with the smell and it goes right away, so many people keep these sprays in their bathrooms, as you might imagine!
Another popular kind of air freshener is the scented candle, which provides a warm glow as well as a pretty light when lit. It has scented oil imbedded inside, which always gives a slight pleasant smell. When you burn it, the heat makes the scent waft into the air. These come in all kinds of fruity flavors – pumpkin, strawberry, blueberry, vanilly – the list goes on and on.
Similar to these, you can get an air freshener lamp. Basically, this is a small candle with a little glass or metalcup above it. You just put in the scented oil of your choice into the cup and light the candle, causing it to waft into the room. This has the advantage that you can use basically any kind of scented oil you chose – whatever fits your mood. Unfortunately, it has a live flame, which can be dangerous if you have children around, but also can have a pleasant decorative effect.
