Light Bulbs
The perfume idea ony works on standard light bulbs, as they produce heat. The heat is what makes the perfume evaporate and dissapate. The new twisty type bulbs that are more ecofriendly and non heat producing should not have liquid dripped on them. You would be better off making a sachet or place cotton balls with a few drops of scent in places like the heater vent, or any warm place.
