Air Freshener

Winter air in Minnesota is very dry. Air in houses in Minnesota is very dry and stale.

There's almost no circulation- at all.

Thus, the air kind of smells funny.

So, being that my room is a room inside a house in Minnesota it follows these principles.

I don't like when my room smells funny; I like when my room smells fresh and clean and...pleasant.

That's how I ended up with an air freshener.

I meant serious business when I bought this thing- it's one of those nice Febreze Noticeables so it's got all kinds of wonderful scents to choose from and a timer so that pretty smells are occasionally pumped into the air.

But I've learned that when Febreze says that it's "noticeable" they mean it. It's so "noticeable," in fact, that I had to move it for fear of literally suffocating from the smell while I slept.

And I put it on the "low" setting! God help me if I were to ever switch it to "high!"

I get that they're not really intended for small rooms, they're supposed to be in large, public areas with lots of traffic.

But my room isn't exactly small, and I leave my door open during the day so that what little circulation does happen will actually happen.

Their product works at least- and as advertised. So if you're looking for an air freshener, Febreze Noticeables should probably win.
