"These have a strong smell but they burn adult, especially if your warmer is set to high, then they won’t last long. If it is set too low, you won’t smell anything. These are not meant to scent an entire room or house unless you use multiple. One single armer is perfect for a small room like a closet or half bath. If I close the bathroom door, then it smells great when guests open the half bathroom door. They look nice and not clunky. If you are trying g to achieve a more dramatic smell in a larger space, then I suggest using about 5 or 6. Again though, they do burn within a week if you put it on high. Taste is not a concern because this is not edible, but I have gotten it on my fingers accidentally and I accidentally got a chemical bitter taste (understandably so) when I placed my hands near my face. I would definitely keep this away for small children as it is definitely toxic with chemical. The lavender smell is my favorite."

I've been using Glade Hawaiian Breeze since probably the late 80's when it was mostly just canned air spray, and it's continued to be my favorite Glade scent. It's kind of fruity and tropical, but without making your house smell like fake dessert, fake fruit, or like some kind of gourmand, sugary sweet perfume. You can't really put your finger on the scent it's trying to emulate, just that it's a little sweet, a little tart, and clean.It's clean and fresh, without smelling like fake laundry detergent (even the "laundry" scented plug-ins I've used in the past are too sharp and/or too powdery), and it just makes my home smell cozy and soft.I've tried the Febreze version of Hawaiian-whatever, and it doesn't even kind of compare. The Febreze version is strong, sharp, and smells like chemicals that you don't really want to be inhaling. Granted, I know all of these are chemicals that we probably *shouldn't* be inhaling, but Glade doesn't feel toxic when you take a deep breath in. I wish they'd make this scent into laundry products, to be honest.You know how sometimes you can go to someone else's house and get used to the ambient air in their place? Well, every time that happens and I walk in the door to my own house, I'm always amazed at how good it smells in here. Again, it's not a scent that is obtrusive or even all that obvious, it just smells nice. When I grab my work bag that hangs on a hook near one of my plug-ins, I can faintly smell it. When I get to work and access the drawer that bag sits in, I can still kind of smell it, but in the best way possible. It just makes everything around smell fresher and nicer. I get compliments any time (literally EVERY TIME) someone new comes over. I even had the kids from across the street come over one time and they commented that my house smelled good. And we all know that kids are honest to a fault, so if they felt compelled to say something, I have to give their opinions more credence than adults who want to be complimentary just to be good guests.The claims of 60 days are a little overblown, and I find that I'm generally changing these out every month or month and a half, even on the lowest setting (like in the bathroom). Maybe if they started making the dual diffusers like the competitor? Despite less longevity than advertised, I will never stop buying this scent, and only wish Glade made a larger pack because I like to stock up for a year at a time.gamblinggirl

This is my favorite scent of plugins. I have repurchased them numerous times and will continue. You get a burst of freshness initially and after about 30 days the scent lessens and that's when I know it's time to change it.christy

The fragrance isn’t my favorite, I usually love lavender vanilla, but this one smells just okay. Other than that, it works fine. The scent is actually pretty strong, and whenever I enter the room, it makes me feel happyWhat Customers Talk About
