Bath & Body Works - need LIGHT scent ideas

[Maddie2]

Hello everyone. I work in an office where it's been decided we need to have a light scent in a part of the building where it smells musty. I'm looking at Bath & Body Works wallflowers and need some suggestions as to what would be a light scent? We have a gift card to use and there's a sale going on .... win/win! Would appreciate some suggestions. Nothing overly heavy that would be worse smelling that the mustiness. It's damp this time of year with humidity and it doesn't usually smell like this, so we are hoping this is a short-term thing.

In general, I am a fragrance-free person, but do use a few fruity scented hand soaps from BBW now and then. I am not a good judge of BBW scents and don't know which ones could be classified as light. Need your help. Thank you!

I'm not a heavy fragrance person either, and it doesn't really answer your question but has your office/maintenance dept. considered a simple odor remover? There are plenty of products that remove the damp/musty smell from areas.

Tranquil Waters from BBW reminds me of the Fiji scene on Soarin'. Also, we use Air Wick Caribbean Sweetgrass & Sandalwood in our musty old church building and every week someone complements the scent. People even ask what the scent is so they can have it home. It is a masculine scent but very popular. Good luck!

We do have a maintenance person and he's tried a few things, though I don't know exactly what they are. I do know we have Damp Rid in a few places and that helps in small spaces. This particular place is in a larger lobby/foyer type area and it needs a bit something more.

I will check into those products. Good to know you've had favorable comments! Thank you!

I have a wallflower in our main floor bathroom. I've tried a lot of different scents, but the one I go back to is Laundry Day.

Thank you! I've been looking at that one and White T-shirt. Good to have a review from somewhere other than the website!

I dislike scented products and find the Eucalyptus Rain very mild.

Thanks for your suggestion. I am with you on disliking scented products. I just read the description of Eucalypus Rain - "Fragrance notes: fresh eucalyptus, sweet spearmint, lemon peel and clary sage"

..... and I think I could handle all but the eucalyptus smell. It gets in my nose and gags me. Ewwww. Hurts my nose just thinking of it! My mom had floral arrangements back in the 80s and that stinky eucalyptus got me every time. She wasn't overly happy to have to remove it from her wreaths, arrangements, etc. Years later, they made an artificial eucalyptus and she got those for the looks of them, but never could have the scented kind in the house!

Wish I could just go to the store and smell them all, but I don't live near one, so I can't. I do appreciate your suggestions!
