This DIY home fragrance recipe is not only easy to make, but it also fills your home with a beautiful, natural aroma that will have everyone asking, “What’s that incredible smell?”

What You’ll Need:

  • Rosemary sprigs: Adds a woodsy, herbal fragrance that complements the lemon perfectly.
  • Black peppercorns: These little powerhouses add a subtle, spicy note.
  • Vanilla extract (about 1 teaspoon): Vanilla rounds out the fragrance with a warm, comforting scent.

How to Make It:

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather your lemon wedges, rosemary sprigs, black peppercorns, and vanilla extract.
  2. Combine in a pot: Place all the ingredients into a pot on your stove.
  3. Add water: Pour about 8 cups of water into the pot.
