Are you growing oranges in here?

After watching Home and Garden television this weekend I have come to the conclusion that we are obsessed with scent. Apparently the natural smell of our homes is disgusting and we need to mask it with “rain shower” or “berry fresh” scents. I have been on a mountain, and it did not smell anything like “mountain breeze” – but it might be because there was no breeze that day. Regardless, I think the whole idea of these phony scents in our homes is getting out of hand. Have you ever smelled anything that is unscented – it has a scent! Why do we need to disguise our homes as being a “citrus grove” where clearly there are no oranges being grown. Using “tropical mist” will not turn your house into a Polynesian getaway. If your house smells bad, take out the garbage and wash the dirty laundry (there - I just saved you the trouble of buying air freshener).
