Homemade scent?

This time of the year i love to have a saucepan on the stove and simmer a sliced up orange with cinnamon sticks in it for a few hours.
I got bored just doing the same all the time, so i googled it and found another recipe, here it is for those that like to do this.

1 1/2 cups warm water
4 cinnamon sticks broken into pieces
1 tsp. imitation vanilla
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. ginger or 1 medium piece of crystallized ginger
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. allspice
1 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil (helps with binding the scents and rapid water absorption)

This one also sounds great for this time of the year (apple pie)

Easy as Apple Pie

Simmer a sliced apple and a couple of cinnamon sticks in some water on your stove. The whole house will smell like apple pie.

Anyone have another recipe? Please share with us
