S/O Lemon Scent

[Deleted]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a lemon candle, scent melts, cleaner with long lasting scent etc.

I LOVE how fresh/clean/non seasonal lemon is and like to use it year around. It just seems like lately everything I run across is either too sweet smelling, too fake (so H gets a headache), or just doesn't smell like lemon...ha.

I have been pouring a bit of lemon juice in my dish/soap water for cleaning and I like it, it just doesn't last and I don't clean that much.

Suggestions please.

A lot of lemon scents are way too strong I agree. I use the mrs Meyers lemon all purpose cleaner and it does linger for a while. I mop my floors with it often and I have a spray bottle made up for counters and stuff. Have you tried that yet?

Thanks for the rec. I can't seem to find lemon Mrs. Meyer's here for some reason and I know I'm in the minority but some of their other smells (the lavendar and basil especially) make me want to gag.

I should check Amazon once I get home.

I had an American Soy candle in lemon awhile back that I really loved and was true lemon but I can't find it again!

Go natural!

I "make" my own lemon scent: buy lemon essential oil and put some in a pot over the stove on low with water, add a sliced lemon, voila! This scent is so yummy and fragrant

I like the mrs Meyers lemon too. They sell it on amazon (and they have a really good price on the hand soap!). Our BB&B and target always have it too.

I love the basil scent! The lavender is too granny and fake for me though

I recently realized that the whole natural aspect of mrs Meyers is just a marketing thing and it's actually full of chemicals and junk. Not sure if I'll repurchase, but I do really like them - if you can't find the lemon check amazon!

LOL. Yeah. That's me too. I hate the lavendar the most.
I feel like most natural things are all marketing. I mean unless I dumped a lemon in it myself it's probably not natural. I don't get too worked about those things. I don't use enough of any one cleaner/chemical/whatever to worry about it. It's usually vinegar/dishsoap water, but sometimes I like something different just to shake it up.

I had the most amazing lemon candle years ago and the scent was called Lemon Icebox Cookies.  OMG it was amazing.  I just figured out the company and found them online and am so excited about it.  You can choose several different container styles.  It's distinctly a lemon smell, but does smell like a cookie.  www.swancreekcandle.com

If you want something more citrus and less baked goods, I just bought a Diptyque candle in the Verveine scent.  It's really nice, but I'm also not sure it's worth $60.  www.diptyqueparis.com/home-fragrances/verveine-candle.html

I don't care for most of Ikea's scented candles, but the lemon one smells great and is inexpensive - not too strong, sweet, or pricey. I have also heard of people refilling their BBW plug-in type things with essential oils, so I might give that a try with a lemon oil.

I like the Verbena candles from l'occitane. They smell fresh and clean without being overwhelming.

A good lemon is one of my favorite scents. As for cleaning supplies, I'm not a huge fan of the Mrs. Meyer's lemon scent. A few years ago restoration hardware had cleaning products and their lemon scent was wonderful, but they've stopped making that line, and that makes me no help at all.
