Apple Pie, What Smells Better?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

My wife baked an Apple pie recently and I'm sure that is why Timmothy wrote the cartoon above. What smells better? I know what doesn't smell better or even as good, apple pie scented air fresheners. Let me ask you, have you ever been fooled by an air freshener?

I am absolutely positive I have NOT been fooled.

With that in mind why do Sellers think anyone is going to be fooled by an air freshener of any scent at all. Nothing is better then the scent of fresh air (yes I am aware there are even air fresheners that imitate that).

Bob "RealMan" Timm - I can understand why your son was inspired to write his cartoon strip! There is nothing else that compares to the scent of a good old fresh homemade Apple Pie!

I'm going with Apple Pie Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP and Michael Elliott . While I love bacon I do ask my wife to keep the fan on so the entire house doesn't smell like it.

Good morning Bob. Nothing like the smell of good old fashioned fresh air. That said, the smell of an apple pie baking in the oven with plenty of cinnamon does not escape my nose or interest in having a piece, a big piece with some vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your day.

Yup! I love my pie alamode Wayne Martin .

Nothing smells as good as fresh baked bread or pie... not even fresh air. 😁

I agree Carol Williams . We have plenty of fresh air here but never enough hot apple pie. 😄

Good morning, Bob... since I don't bake and don't come from a "baking family" I don't know how good an apple pie might taste. That being said, I also hugely dislike air fresheners of any scent and actually am quite allergic to them... instant migraine. If I want some scent in my house, it's a soft vanilla candle. I also will put vanilla extract in the oven at 325 degrees for a while... the house smells so good after.

Good answer Nina Hollander, Broker my Love. Carol burns some candles during the holiday season that give me a headache as well.

Bob "RealMan" Timm I can tolerate only vanilla scented candles.

Hello Bob - although your post highlights the appeal of everyday scents, I can't help but think of common sense.   Much too rare but quite refreshing in multiple ways.

Michael Jacobs today is the day we find out how much common sense is actually out there.

I don't like any air fresheners and don't use them myself. Apple pie would definitely smell better as would baking bread, simmering pasta sauce, chocolate chip cookies, etc. Yum.

Hello Bob, I love to bake and pick it up from my mom, after she sold the restaurant she would still bake pies and always had coffee on and pie for anyone that would stop by and lots of people always stop by to check up on my parents.

My Granma was the family baker and everything she made was fantastic. Regretfully she never wrote a single one down so all was lost when she passed on.

Good afternoon Bob,

There is nothing that compares to the scent of a good fresh homemade Apple Pie! I can see where Timmothy got his inspiration!

The first reaction when smelling air fresheners by a prospective buyer is what are they trying to hide.

Hi Bob- as much as I love chocolate...it's hard to pass up a slice of homemade apple pie!!! It's one of my favorite desserts. I used to tell my staging clients that the best scent for their home was fresh and clean.
