These Scent Products Efficiently Prepare Your Home For Guests
by Taylor Phillips | 01/17/2025
Outside of the holiday season, we often invite guests into our homes, from our families and close friends to new acquaintances. Preparing your home to receive guests can look different from one house to the next, but one detail you may easily overlook is how your home smells. After all, achieving a particular ambiance requires catering to all five senses, including your sense of smell.
The guide below is your go-to scent source for scented products that help you prepare your home for guests by infusing it with signature, luxurious fragrances. Create a more inviting and comfortable atmosphere in your beloved space without relying on overpowering sprays or clunky candles. Instead, enhance your home’s existing charm with Drift’s premium scented home products designed with you in mind.
Why Fragrance is Important to Any Home
The phrase “home, sweet home” just doesn’t have the same ring to it if the humble abode you’re happy to enter smells like anything else. Yet, describing the way your home smells to you varies even from the way the same dwelling smells to your family members and friends. Take a moment to think about what scents you associate with home and what those fragrances remind you of, whether it’s fond memories, a family member, your location, or any other related elements.

Before you tackle your to-do list of tasks to prepare your home for guests, rely on these exclusive Drift home products to set the stage. If you’re unsure which scent best suits your decor, take our Home Scent Quiz for expert guidance. Our Home Scent of the Month Club also makes it easy to receive expertly curated scents every month, shipped straight to your door.
Home Scent Diffuser
Whether you choose a subtle or striking scent for your home, your Home Scent Diffuser doesn’t always have to make its presence known. Discreet yet sleek and modern, Drift’s Home Scent Diffuser provides a new way to scent your space with deluxe, inviting fragrances. Select from five sumptuous scents that are sure to have your guests looking around for the source of that wonderful smell:
-
Teak

Frosted Spruce
-
Open Air
-
Wild Lavender
-
Grove
You can adjust the output of your new Home Scent Diffuser with three distinct intensity levels. To boost your home’s fragrance, set it on high when you first plug it in and then back it off a level or two as it works its magic. The plug also rotates to suit the orientation you need, and you can easily move it from room to room for a uniform scent throughout the house.
Reed Diffuser
A reed diffuser is another great way to prepare your home for guests without the need for electricity or a lighter. For a low-maintenance solution that delivers a high-impact scent, choose Drift’s Reed Diffuser. Its high absorbency rate and sleek, modern design mean it effortlessly blends in with any decor.
The oversized reed diffuses your choice of amber, teak, vanilla woods, or wild lavender scents for up to 60 days. When you’re ready to refresh your home with a delightful aroma, flip the reed to renew your selected scent.
