This sounds like the start of one of those typical, clever household tips!

Bay leaves on a radiator are actually an excellent, 100% natural room fragrance and air freshener.

Why it works so well:
Releasing essential oils: When the radiator is heated, the dry bay leaves are gently heated. This causes the essential oils they contain to slowly release into the air in the room.

Pleasant scent: It doesn’t smell strongly of soup vegetables at all, but rather develops a very pleasant, slightly spicy, woody and calming aroma.

Neutral Odor Control: Bay leaves not only mask musty or musty odors (e.g. after cooking), but also help neutralize them.

A simple trick for everyday life:

Simply place 3 to 5 dried bay leaves on a warm radiator. After a few days, when they have lost their scent, simply put them back.

Another tip for a more intense aroma: For an even greater effect, gently crush the leaves between your fingers before placing them on the radiator or add a drop of essential oil (e.g. orange or lavender).
