well...since i took over my son's old room I PERSONALLY think it smells like a bolognie sandwich. others tell me it smells like my pastor and his wife. ODD. but my windows are almost always open and i have a scensy pot right outside the door on the antique radio. i have heard if you take 2 oz of vodka, a few drops of lavender, and fill up a 2 quart container with water and use it in your iron it will smell really really good!

No fragrances here. I have a cockatiel in my sewing room, and air fresheners, sprays, and candles can be harmful to birds' delicate respiratory systems.
However, my sewing room (formerly the master bedroom) has an adjoining bathroom, and sometimes I can faintly smell DH's shampoo when he takes a shower.

My sewing room is not only the sewing room but also has my computer in it, the TV and the phone..so once in there, there is no reason to rush out.......and the open window lets in the fresh air which is the best scent ever.

Hmmmmm......interesting question.....I would be afraid of burning candles is a room stocked with fabric. I don't care for potpourri or highly scented candles..ESP. Hate Yankee. Driving a nail in my head would feel better than the headache the scents give me. Can't stand dryer shepherds for the same reason. Yea yea I know there are unscented ones. Still a chemical.
Now I need to find out what my sewing really "smells" like!
