Keep Your Space Smelling Fresh After Cannabis Use

One of the best ways to keep yourself from smelling too skunky is to keep your house fresh and clean from smoke odors. After all, if you and your clothing are sitting in a smoky environment all day, you will definitely end up smelling like smoke when you leave it.

Smoking outside is an easy solution to this, if it’s accessible. But if smoking indoors is necessary, try creating a designated smoking area in one room. Make sure it’s a separate space from where you keep your clothing or jackets, and that it has a window or fan ventilation to clear the smoke.

You can also use air filters specifically made for cannabis smoke, like the GermGuardian Cannabis Smoke Filter FLT420B. Add to a compatible air purifier to filter the cannabis smoke in your space back into fresh air.

While ventilation and an air filter will help keep the smell down in your smoking area, there will likely be some smell still leftover. You can try to get rid of it with an odor eliminator spray like Cannabolish’s Lavender Odor Eliminator Spray. This scented deodorizer can help actually remove the scent of cannabis from your space.

Cover Or Complement The Cannabis Odor In Your House

Another method is to cover up the smell of cannabis in your house with a heavy, smokey scent like incense. The Ash and Scent Set From Houseplant is a great option for this. The beautiful hand-sculpted marble incense burner is also an ashtray, and it comes with a collection of fragrant incense droplets to burn.

If you prefer a lighter fragrance, burning the right scented candle after a smoke session can create a scent that blends the cannabis aroma to create a scent that masks the cannabis without completely eliminating or covering it.

For example, the Green Goddess candle from Flamingo Estate is packed full of fresh herbal notes. One sniff and you feel transported to an herb garden full of fresh Mint, Rosemary, and Basil. This aroma blends perfectly with cannabis’ grassy fragrance, in a way that elevates it without eliminating it.

Or for those smoking a strain that tastes citrusy and sweet, like Runtz or Zkittlez, try lighting a Cereal Candle from Mala. This fruity cereal inspired blend features notes of berry, sugar and citrus. It will bring you back to childhood breakfasts, while blending beautifully to mask the smell of your wake and bake.

You can also try a candle that plays up the musky and woody notes in cannabis.

Smokeshow by Sunday Forever is a beautiful option for this. Its soft, woody, musky fragrance blends with earthier tasting cannabis strains perfectly.

You can light your candles or use a candle warmer like Ozarke’s Everlasting Candle Warmer to extend their life. This device warms the candle wax, releasing the fragrance without an open flame or smoke.

Minimize The Exposure To Cannabis Smoke to Reduce Odor

For some, the best solution may be to simply avoid smoking before any events they want to smell fresh for. Shower and change into fresh clothing before you leave and use alternatives like vaping or edibles instead of smoking.

Still for those who just prefer smoking to other methods, you can minimize the impact of the smoke’s aroma by taking your smoke break outside, next to a window or in a well ventilated area.

You can also wear a designated smoking jacket and hat when you take your smoke breaks. These protect your clothing and hair from absorbing the bulk of the smoke and can be left behind afterwards.Look for jackets with a lot of coverage, and big pockets like this Housecoat in Navy from Houseplant. Designed for smoking, this coat is comfortable but thick enough to form a barrier between your clothes and the smoke.

A knit beanie can be a good option for a smoking hat, since it can expand to cover a good deal of hair. This Black Beanie With Green Pot Leaf from Housing Works Cannabis Co would be an appropriate choice for the job.

Enhance Your Cannabis’ Aroma With Perfume or Cologne

While there is no way to completely eliminate cannabis odor on your person (without a shower and clothing change) adding complementary scents can enhance and shift the smell into something less recognizable and more enticing.

When selecting a fragrance for this, you want to keep in mind two important factors — your own body’s scent and the scent of your cannabis. The ideal fragrance will complement both.

An obvious choice would be to find a cannabis inspired fragrance like Club Des Hashichins by Alkemia. This smokey perfume doesn’t contain cannabis but it does contain scent notes from the other ingredients of an original 1844 Club des Hashischins recipe. The musky aroma of coffee, blackberry pipe tobacco, and leathered labdanum, blends with orange peel, honey and spice to create a fragrance that blends perfectly with’ musky strains like OG Kush.

If that scent profile doesn’t suit your natural scent, try a perfume that is musky but sweet like Elorya by Ascention. This dark and mysterious feeling fragrance is bottled with a rainbow fluorite crystal which is said to enhance embodiment and exaltation, but it certainly enhances the aroma of cannabis with scent notes like aged brandy, dark cherry, plum, sandalwood, vanilla and amyris. The fragrance is sweet, floral and gourmand all at once, and it incorporates cannabis aroma well.

You can also use floral fragrances to blend with the natural scents in cannabis. The lavender notes in London by Hotel Lobby, for example, pair perfectly with sweet floral cannabis strains like the aptly named strain Lavender.

Fox in the Flowerbed by Imaginary Authors is another floral scent that would blend well with cannabis. With notes of jasmine, tulip, and alpine air it would be a great fit with strains that have a fresh crisp floral aroma like White Widow.

For those who love berry flavored strains like Strawberry Cough or Blueberry, try pairing them with a berry perfume like Strawberry Shortcake from Scentbird. This gourmand fragrance smells good enough to eat with notes of ripe strawberry and vanilla.

If you prefer stonefruit flavored buds, like Peaches and Cream, enhance the aroma with a peach scented perfume like White Peaches by Shay & Blue. While fresh and fruity, it also contains woody birch notes that blend well with the woodier notes in cannabis.

For spicier strains like Bubba Kush or Fire OG, try the Velvet Plum Tea Perfume from Elysian. The spicy cinnamon notes mix with deep rich plum, black tea leaves, oud and honey, to create a tantalizing aroma that effortlessly blends with cannabis, and will have everyone asking you what you’re wearing.

Vanilla scented strains like Vanilla Kush would be a good fit with Cap Camarat by Memo Paris. This rich fragrance blends vanilla with Ylang-ylang, amyris, sandalwood and labdanum to create an intoxicating scent.

Magnetic 70 by Vyrao would blend well with a woody cannabis strain like Redwood Kush. With notes of frankincense, juniper wood and cedar, this fragrance will disguise the smell of cannabis’ woody notes with ease.
