We first came across aromas when our tenants left behind the IKEA room refresher. I wondered why they had not taken it with them. As soon as I tried to move it I could see why. When you buy it the bottle is sealed. Once you've opened it to use it, the liquid can spill. No way could they pack that in their suitcase to fly back home overseas.
Why did they use it? Either to disguise smells from cooking or baby nappies. Or maybe they just liked the soothing aroma.
The White Shop sells aromatic soaps (£6) and shower gels and room refreshers.
The household items include a spray or an infuser with what looks like incense sticks. Very good if you've had somebody smoking or causing another unpleasant smell (a dog, a person, mould, an empty house, for house owners, parents, morning after the party before. Also useful for a landlord freshening up for house viewings when renting looking for a new tenant - or a letting agent. A cheaper version is from IKEA.) The White Shops's rose and lavender are good.
An assistant will locate the tester for the aroma you want and spray onto your hand or hers or a piece of paper.
