I asked one of the guys and he said they have been selling the small samples, and mostly were the wives and daughters asking for it.It comes in various scents, from vanilla bean, to fresh air, to sea breeze, to clean and crisp or spring rain to those fruity strawberries etc...and I thought at the time I would try it, just being curious.My concern was also it would repulse some people, I went and read reviews, the brand they sell at the Home Depot is Paint Scentsation.Paint ScentsationIt recommends 1 oz added to 1 gallon of paint, I only used 0.25 oz for a whole gallon and it was pretty mild.I only used it in the two closets, thinking that very few people would object to the scent of a cedar lined closet, and probably prefer that over a musky sweaty closet (especially if they keep the laundry basket there).As for how long it lasts, the web site says:Q.

I bought the home for $8,500 cash, cleaned the carpet, painted some walls (a rule of mine every time I re-rent or sell a home to give it a fresh smell) and about 2 weeks later the home rented for $650 per month.
