We just finished a renovation at work and I have a nice new office with windows and a door (we were in terrible cubicles for months). I'm trying to make my office a pleasanter place to be and one thing that would help is a nice smell. The office is still so new it has kind of a "new office" smell of paint and plastic and whatnot. I ordered some Mrs. Meyers room spray in Lemon Verbena thinking that would definitely do the trick but frankly it smells like a cleaning product. I've tried that brand before for hand soap and have a lavender spray at home that I like but I wanted my office to not smell like my house. I've thought about an airwick type item but I suspect in this size space that's going to be kind of overpowering. Obviously candles are a no.
Thoughts? I'm open to something that I plug in or something I spray. It just has to work for a one room space without being overpowering. There are about a million aroma diffusers out there as well just don't really know what is best and already tired of trial and error.

Re: Room scents for office
I actually really like this kind. It's the shape of a cone and you can adjust how much you open it for the strength. All the way open is usually way too strong so it's nice to just crack it a small bit and then as time goes on you open it further and further. We use them for the bathroom that has our litter box.
That said, I have fewer issues with more natural products, esp. those scented with real citrus.
ETF grammar
I have my own office with a door which leads into the hallway. Others are very seldom in my office unless they are dropping something off. I keep my door closed probably about half of the day. (Our new design means that there are interior windows so people can see me even if the door is closed but I talk on the phone regarding confidential information fairly often). I wouldn't want to use anything strong enough that people in the hallway could smell it. For one I don't want to subject others to whatever I decide smells good and I also will sneeze if something is strong smelling. That is part of why I'm questing for a good smelling something that is not too strong.
Yup. I love perfume. I am clearly not fragrance-phobic. But I'm also a one spray and you have to right up next to me to smell me kinda person (whereas we have several in my office where you can still smell their perfume 10 minutes after they walked by.
But I cannot stand people who scent their office strongly. I actually have an entire section of the office I completely avoid now because this person uses Glade plug-ins and I can smell that crap from 30-40 feet away from the office as I'm approaching. And I don't care if it normally smells good - it doesn't smell good concentrated in a tiny, tiny office. And my poor co-worker with asthma can hardly breathe in that section of the office. Please please please stay away from anything intended to heat up the fragrance to concentrate it and disburse it (fragrance warmers, candles, plug-ins). Same goes for sprays - that dissipates faster, but is pretty obnoxious for the first hour or two (I have a coworker who uses Victoria Secret body sprays like it's room spray in their cubicle - ugh!). That's fine for your own home, but not an office. You'll become immune to the scent but everyone who has to come near you will think it's obnoxious.
At most, I would do a small reed diffuser in a light scent, like The Body Shop's Aloe & Linen scent, tucked into the corner farthest away from the door.
