I recently had a few people over for dinner and a movie at my house--one of my favorite things to do. We were all participating in the Febreze "noseblind" challenge to see how we each noticed different scents during our visit. At the beginning of the evening, the most obvious smell was pretty much dinner, although, I have indoor dogs and their scent must be in this house, too.
We took surveys at the beginning and end of the movie; we took another survey after popping the popcorn for the movie. The surveys asked "what do you smell the most right now?" and everyone answered their own opinion for the survey. It was easy for my guests to notice the smell of dinner when they arrived; I mostly smelled "home", since I had been in here with the food, I had become "noseblind" to the scent of it. After popping the popcorn, everyone easily noticed the scent of the popcorn as it filled the air all around us. By the end of the movie, the most noticeable smell was the fresh scent of the Febreze scented oil warmer and/or the Febreze candle that I had safely burning during the movie.
About Noseblindness and Febreze's Patented Technology
Have you ever felt "noseblind"? This happened to me when I worked in a pizza restaurant, once. Everyone could smell pizza on me, but I couldn't smell it on myself when I got home. This also happens to smokers, pet owners, and anyone else. We all become used to the scent in our home/surroundings as our nose prioritizes the scents around us. When something smells bad, the worst thing to do is to spray something powerful over it... the layering of a bad smell with another fragrance is just overkill. Luckily, Febreze contains a molecule called Cyclodexrin that traps and eliminates the bad odors, which leaves only a pleasant scent.
Febreze Products That I Tried and Loved
I'm very selective when it comes to scents; I don't like powerful scents or anything that's too fruity. One of the reasons that I prefer Febreze to other sprays is because it doesn't "cover up" an odor, it actually eliminates the odor. The fabric refresher spray works wonders on sofas, rugs and even in my vehicle.
The Febreze Meadows and Rain fabric refresher (spray) and Air Effects spray are wonderful; the scent is so clean and fresh that I could use it in many different areas, including over the area rugs. The scents for the oil warmer are very enjoyable as well; I love hibiscus flowers very much.
The Febreze candle comes in a durable glass and didn't burn smoky. I love both the color and scent of the Febreze candle. I always burn candles up where they are out of a high-traffic area, for safety. I also set a timer on my phone to let me know to blow it out after xx minutes. The scent of the candle is really nice and it's a nice touch if you're watching a movie in the evening.
The Febreze Noticeables scented oil warmers are pretty cool. The plug can be turned to fit your wall receptical. The Noticeables warmer alternates between two complimentary scents (you can purchase a variety of refills). This is perfect for setting different moods for different rooms.
I like to use scents that are more reminiscent of food in the kitchen and living room areas, such as vanilla or cinnamon. I like to use clean or floral scents in the bedrooms and bathrooms.
