I'm surprised

That no company (yet) has embedded an air freshener in a furnace air filter.

My wife if company is coming and the house smells like last nights dinner sprays
air freshener or perfume on the furnace filter before they arrive.
Even in summer, she just turns on the fan.

My wife does that as well but she just sucks up a fresh dryer sheet into the
vac.

Reminds me of a story my stepdad told me. His first wife told him that
she would be good in one room of the house. Kitchen, living room,
bathroom, bedroom. They went out a lot and hired a maid.

GROSS!...If I want my home to smell like a whore house, I'd just go
there. Why not get your wife to make fresh bread or buns. Burning a few
scented candles work good also...but spraying perfume?... Gross!

My wife lights scented candles to get rid of food smells, especially
garlic or fried fish or chicken. I can't convince her that the food
smells are preferable :-).

I agree, but it isn't that bad, Soft Shoulders or some damned thing, sorta baby
powdery. Sometimes she sticks a fabric softener dryer sheet in front of the
filter. They smell quite nice.
But even so, I will be sitting watching TV, minding my own business, when I'm
suddenly attacked by an unseen and previously un smelled odor. It can be quite
disconcerting.<sigh>

I've never known anyone to spray a filter, but I do know people that attach laundry
dryer sheets to their filters to accomplish the same thing.

I'm with your wife. Some food smells are good (baked bread, baking
cookies, some fruits being prepped for canning). Others are better either
savored when all windows can be open with a high wind to move air through
the house or covered up with almost any other odor (liver, onions,
broccoli, cauliflower, saur kraut).

Since I'm a bachelor, I can get away with a drop or two of my Old
Spice after shave lotion on the bag. Another way is with a few drops
of essential oil (lemon, lavender, whatever ya got) in an old, rinsed
Febreeze bottle filled with water. 20 drops makes a quart of nice,
non-chemical air freshener which doesn't leave a buildup on furniture,
clothes, floors, or carpets.

You can buy one at Home Depot to put on your furnace filter.

They work for a few hours and then that is that.
