Confession: I’m an air freshener nut. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my baby smells like instant garlic mashed potatoes and therefore I’m somewhat incredibly paranoid our house does too. (If you’re missing the background info on that tidbit, you need to check out the story here so you don’t think just I hate baby smell.) I have no less than four different air fresheners in my house at any given moment, not counting nice smelling candles. Yes, like I said, I’m an air freshener nut. My secret is out.
So I was excited, to say the least, when I got a pretty little package from MyBlogSpark and Febreze recently. The box contained one of each air freshener from the new Febreze Home Collection plus some refills. Ahhhh…. air freshener bliss. I got a flameless luminary, reed diffuser, soy blend candle, and room spray all in Green Tea Citrus scent. The company also sent along some luminary refills.
I did what any lover of air fresheners does when receiving such a package. I went around the house putting up my new scents. Candle in the kitchen. Luminary in the family room. You catch the drift. Or should I say smell? (Okay, forgive me now for making such a corny joke.)
When I first put the air fresheners out, I was pleasantly surprised by the soft but noticeable smell they gave. Nothing too overbearing like some other fresheners I’ve tried. Even the room spray had a non-chemically scent to it. I usually don’t use room sprays because of this reason, but the Febreze Home Collection spray was different. More natural and gentle.
My favorite piece of the collection is the flameless luminary. I have it on my mantle right now with the cranberry pear scented shade. (My favorite scent of the collection, in case you care!) The luminary has a stylish black wood base that’s reusable, and then you just have to replace the scented shades weekly. It gives off a nice flickering light and actually looks like there’s a candle inside. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve actually gotten compliments from visitors on the appearance of this scented luminary. When’s the last time someone told you your air freshener looked good? Yeah. Never, right? Usually I try to hide mine too. Not this pretty luminary though!
In addition to sending me this nice package of air fresheners, Frebreze has also given me a special little something to give to a Frugal in Virginia reader- a $20 gift card to Walmart so you can purchase and try the Febreze Home Collection too. Woot woot!

Great reviews of the Febreze products! I’ve been wondering how well those luminaries work since they look great on TV. Glad to hear they work as well as they look! I left a note on your FB fanpage about it too.
The Febreze flameless luminary would look great in our living room on the mantle or coffee table! I would use this product in my house because it is safe and still provides a great smell. Candles worry me because of the fire hazard and wall plug-ins can be unsightly. It’s nice that there is a stylish option to purchase now!

With a baby in the house, I’m always looking for candles without the “fire hazard.”
I would use the flameless luminary to make our living room smell sweet.

I am also an air freshner nut! I would use this in the family room where everyone (and all kinds of smells) collect.
Definitely love the flame-free options and I would use it on my foyer table to make a nice first impression!

I would use the Febreeze home collection all over my tiny apartment. I especially love the flameless luminary – it’s really beautiful, and I think would add a little something extra to the guest bathroom. I have a dog who tends to stink the place up, and a husband with a very sensitive nose who doesn’t usually like air fresheners…so this may just be the ticket!

I’m so excited about this giveaway! I’ve been wanting a flameless luminary since they first came out! I would use it in our living room – it gets the most traffic and it’s where we spend most of our time. Hoping it will help with the subtle dog odor too!
I wouls use it in our master bathroom – it would go with our current decorations and smell goods are always a plus in any bathroom!

Would love to win the giveaway. The flameless luminary would go perfect in our home, esp. w/ 3 kids and a dog that are constantly knocking things over. Finally some ambience without the hazard of a lit candle.
Thanks…Mary
For some reason whenever I cook in our small apartment the smell stays forever. So therefore, there is a horrible mix of smells right now. It’s not that bad when you are in the apartment. I guess you just get used to it, but I hate being bombarded with the “smell” when I come home. I also feel bad when we have people come over. I’ve tried lots of different ways to decrease the smell. Maybe this will be the answer!

I’d use the flameless luminary in the living room for mood lighting – I don’t use candles because I have an inquisitive cat, so this would be a great alternative.
Anything from Febreze would liven up our kitchen.
The Febreze luminary would look great in my bedroom on the dresser. I am always looking for ways to make the house smell fresh – it is hard with three indoor cats. I’m excited because the product looks so pretty – not like other scent devices.
I would love to have this in my living room. I have 16 month old and its safe to use.
I would use the cranberry pear scent to freshen up our guestroom.

the flameless luminaries would be fantastic in our new home. we have a lot of large windows that we like to keep open, but scented candles often blow out due to the great breeze we get throughout the house. the flameless luminaries would allow us to keep everything smelling fresh while still keeping our windows open wide!

I can totally see the illuminary on the shelf I have in the bathroom. We all know air fresheners are needed in the bathroom, and that way it would be a continuous scent, which may fair better than me lighting a candle in their every once and awhile!
I would definitely put the reed diffuser in the bathroom! I love reed diffusers!
The air freshner would probably be kept in my car!
And the luminary could do anywhere in my house as a decorative item!

I love fresh smells all over my house. We have 2 dogs and in the winter they love to come inside to sleep so I too am paranoid how my house smells. Thanks.
One of these would go a long way in our bathroom. We have a mold problem under the floor that our landlord won’t let us fix but they haven’t done anything yet, either! So for now it’s constantly cleaning and trying to kill the odor with Febreze!
I would love to use them in my kids rooms.
I already subscribe, I would use the scents in my LR, that is first room that people walk into and I like it to smell fresh and clean. I have not purchased any of the collection but would love to!
I would use it in my living room too. I like the idea of reed diffusers since we have small children and a very active puppy.
Thanks!
I’d use them here in my office. I spend so much time in here that I’d love a fresh new scent! Thanks for the chance!
