Top 3 Best-Selling Scents
1. Lavender Dreams
Primary Vibe: Calm, reset, decompress
Best For: Post-session peace, Sunday cleaning rituals, kids-home chill zones
Why It Works: Lavender and lemon terpenes bind to lingering smoke molecules and neutralize 82% of cannabis odor per SPME-GC lab testing. The citrus lift prevents the scent from feeling sleepy or stale.
User Quote: "It’s the only thing that makes my living room not smell like a grow tent after my husband’s Saturday sessions." —Amanda C., Phoenix, AZ
DIY-Inspired Alternative: Simmer lemon peel and a few drops of lavender oil in a pot on the stove.
2. Arctic Breeze
Primary Vibe: Clean slate, minimal yet mysterious
Best For: Shared spaces, hosting after sessions, or when you don’t want anyone knowing you lit up
Why It Works: This one’s our most discreet neutralizer—based on resinous terpenes with near-zero residual sweetness. It’s been lab-tested to leave less than 18% trace compounds after use.
User Quote: "My roommate has no clue. I use this in the hallway and it legit erases the smell in 5 minutes." —Jordan B., Portland, OR
DIY-Inspired Alternative: Place dry coffee grounds and crushed eucalyptus leaves in mesh sachets near vents and doors.
3. Blazy Bae Odor Fighting Candle - Clementine, Mint, & Roses
Primary Vibe: Energized, alert, pulled-together
Best For: Remote workspaces, quick refresh post-smoke, or midday motivation
Why It Works: Mint terpenes interact with your limbic system for a wake-up hit. Lab testing shows this formula breaks down VOC clusters fast, with 82% cannabis odor reduction within 15 minutes.
User Quote: "It’s my Monday candle. The only thing that gets me to clean and not crash after a wake-n-bake." —Brenda M., Chicago, IL
DIY-Inspired Alternative: Mix baking soda with a few drops of peppermint oil in a bowl near your session zone.

Pro Tips from the Community
- Spray on AC vents or fabric curtains for slow-release scent
- Use different scents by room: calming in the bedroom, energizing in the kitchen
- Don’t layer without ventilating—open a window for 5 minutes first
- Light candles for 30 minutes max, then let the scent settle
What Makes These Stand Out
- SPME-GC lab-tested at AirSense Labs, Pasadena, CA
- 82% average cannabis odor reduction
- Vegan, VOC-safe, phthalate- and paraben-free
- Formulated with plant-based terpenes and soy wax (candles)
- Formulations follow EPA and IFRA guidance for air-safe fragrance use
Results based on SPME-GC analysis, conducted by AirSense Labs, Pasadena, CA. Testing variables: five residential homes, 45–60 min cannabis sessions. Full methodology available upon request.
What to Avoid
- Over-spraying—it won’t work faster and can overwhelm the room
- Burning paraffin candles—stick with soy for air safety
- Assuming your pet is fine—test new scents slowly and monitor
- Using without any airflow—open a window or door for best results
One More DIY Hack
For ultra-cautious users: Simmer a mix of vinegar and citrus peel on the stove. It’s an old-school scent neutralizer that plays well with herbal aftermaths.
FAQs
- Are these safe for pets and kids? Yes, our formulations are VOC-safe and tested in homes with pets and toddlers. Always introduce new scents gradually.
- How long does the scent last? 1–3 hours depending on room size, air flow, and product used (spray vs. candle).
- Can I spray directly onto fabric? Always patch-test first. We recommend spraying into the air or onto soft surfaces like curtains or couches from a distance.
