Bake challah, simmer chicken soup, throw chocolate chip cookies in the oven 10 minutes beside guests arrive. A slow cooker making dinner adds great homey fragrance as well.

Bed linen spray with water, lavender or citrus or your preference works in the bedroom as well. Some people put citrus peel and cloves in a tray on a surface in the room.

Some people use diffusers with essential oils.
This smells nice and it's subtle.

I'm following as well. I see the same brand also makes a room freshener spray. Is it as good as the cleaner? I usually use lysol or mr clean to clean.

There’s this cool diffuser you can put into the hvac system and it blows it all over your house. I can’t remember which company it was that did this... anyone heard of it?

Lots of companies available, just google. It usually runs in the 600-700 range plus you pay for the scents every couple of months.

Where do you buy fresh eucalaptus? Do you keep a plant in your bathroom? Do you buy cuttings and keep it in a vase?

I burn candles from Bath and Body Works in my house. My favorite scents are the aromatherapy scents, specifically eucalyptus and cedarwood.
I bought these three candles when they were on sale:
