There is a place for luxury and a splurge and there is plain old waste of money.
This is my mini list of non recommendations and options instead.
1) Diptyque scented ovals
32 pounds for perfumed wax. Now I know candles are slightly more. But lighting a candle, seeing the flicker of the flame, scenting the air inside the whole room. All of a sudden, 38 pounds is starting to seem value for money! I bought this once and I decided I would rather buy a subscription to a magazine I rarely read instead; at least I could share it with someone after I was done with it. It just hangs there like old fashioned soap used by the military locked up inside your closet with your clothes smelling like expired Glade. There is no shared experience.

What I do instead is buy my favorite soap from a perfume line. I buy Chanel no 5 soap and stick them in my drawers and my closet. At 17 pounds, it is almost half the price of one scented oval. You can get two for the price of one. Chanel, a bargain! If there is a soap version of your favorite perfume, then you could try this to scent your clothes or room subtly. If you want to make the scent go further, you could grate the soap with an apple peeler and put in a small, empty lavender pouch and place where desired.
