Potpourri, reed diffusers, scented candles and room sprays are all wonderful ways to freshen up a room. Agraria, the home fragrance company in San Francisco, has come up with a new way to release scent: through decorative tassels with fragrance beads hidden inside the fringe. “I saw lots of tassels hanging in people’s homes,” said Jim Gentry, Agraria’s president. “Since we had a history of having tassels on our packages, I said, Let’s put some fragrance in one of these tassels.”

Now, he said, he puts them everywhere: “I have them hanging on every doorknob, and on hangers in my closet, and in my car.” The scent should last six months, he said, “but whenever it does dry out, I’m just going to put some more cologne spray on it.” TasselAire tassels in eight scents are $35. Fragrance bottles $40.

Try the reed diffusers for your home. These decorative bottles with the most amazing natural botanical fragrances fit every home. Each bottle of essence will last about 2 years under normal conditions. Compare that to the average of 2 to 3 months for cheaper brands and the premium product speaks for itself.
