Choose one scent and stick with it. Use candles at least once a week and while cooking. Use carpet powder every time you vacuum and spray the deodorizer in the morning and at night. Also if a plug in is available that can help. Vanilla is the strongest scent to get and easily available

You can use eucalyptus branches as decor. They are have natural oils in the leaves that smell nice but not perfumy. The fresher the better. The scent lasts longer than any artificial fragrance dispenser. As the scent wears off, you can just pinch a leaf or snap it in half, and it will help to renew the fragrance.
The plug-ins use electricity, so I wouldn't encourage the manufacturers by purchasing them. Sprays don't last very long. Oils on a light bulb ring would be the next-best thing, but the eucalyptus branches are my favorite.

hi. i'm like you i love sweet scents and it gives me a good feeling whenever i walked into my home and i smell them. i think you're being used to the fragrance that's why you can't smell them anymore. whenever my friends come over they always say that they love the scent they smell. even though i don't smell it anymore. what you can do is stick to one fragrance so it will be your signature scent in your house. every morning i open my doors, bedroom and living room windows for at least 30 minutes to let the fresh air in and out with old. i burn incense in every room. i like the smell of washington apples and bath and body works has an apple scent so whenever they have a sale i buy a lot. you may want to consider oil base fragrances, they last longer but more expensive. just a drop of oil goes a long way. i bought method capsule at target, they almost have the same price as glade but they last longer, i like the eucalyptus scent. try the flea markets or county fairs for scented tea lights and scented oils, they usually sell them at a much lower prices. good luck.

you can buy an oil ring that goes around light bulbs in your house. You fill it with your favorite oil, and when you turn on the lamp, the heat disperses the scent around the room. If you want something faster good old fashioned incense permeates really well.

I use candles and Lavender potpourri in dishes around the house. I have heard that the plug in types have caused fires so I stop using them....

if you have whole house air or forced air heat there are jars of concentrated scent made to put in the duct just behind the filter and it will scent the whole house as your a/c runs it also has a anti bacteria in them to reduce mold and mildew you should find this at your local plumbing supply or furnace supply
