Take the Febreze Noseblind Test
Then enter to WIN this great prize package of Febreze Goodies –
including a $60 Amex Gift Card!!
I was excited to be selected to participate in the Febreze Noseblind Test campaign because I know that I am likely a big culprit of being “Noseblind” – it seems easy to do, especially with two little dogs and a new baby. What seems ‘normal’ for me, I am sure is not normal to most.
Before I begin, let’s explain; What is being Noseblind?
Being Noseblind is The gradual acclimation to the smells of one’s home, car, or belongings, in which the affected does not notice them (even though their guests do).
To perform the Febreze Noseblind test I had some friends come over for a movie night. Before we started the movie or popping our popcorn my guests took a survey about the smells they were experiencing in my home. EEEKKK!! Then we popped the popcorn, and of course the smell of buttery goodness filled our kitchen and living room. Then we settled in to watch our movie, we picked an oldie, but a goodie – Dirty Dancing, what a great movie 🙂
After the movie was over, the smell of popcorn had dissipated some, the dogs were still present, and of course our beautiful little, diaper wearing, baby, so it is safe to say we had a very interesting combination of smells in the air. Next I took my Febreze Noticeables and plugged it into an outlet that is between our kitchen and living room, I also lit the Febreze Candle, sprayed Febreze Fabric Refresher onto the couch where the dogs were cuddling with us during the movie and sprayed a little Febreze Air Effects into the air. Then we sat back and waited.
I am glad to report we did NOT have to wait long, before we knew it the amazing smells of Febreze were filling our noses – no more doggy, diapers or popcorn smells, it was great!! Can this even be true? I am glad to report I really think I have FINALLY found a product that truly rids your home of those funky smells, no more masking them for a short period of time. Now ever time I walk into the house I am greeted with the amazing scents coming from the Febreze Noticeable, that I have left plugged in.
I really believe I am finally NOT Noseblind anymore, I have no need to be, those ‘smells’ are no longer present in my house – THANKS TO FEBREZE!!

I learned that I am very much NOSEBLIND!
I only notice the cats/litter smells when they are really bad! I also tend not to notice many cooking/food smells (except for lots of garlic or say, bacon!) I know this is partly from my sinuses and seasonal allergies ~ but it really does concern me that guest may be greeted by and endure a smelly house while visiting ~ and the funny thing is my sense of smell of pretty sharp outside of OUR home, especially foul/garbagy smell and fishy smells in stores, CHEMICALS, peoples’ perfumes & colognes, and I can smell tobacco a mile away/
Fortunately, I can smell GOOD scents (fragrances!) too.
I have used Febreze before: Air Effects, Fabric Refreshers and candles.
