If you’re looking for a way to add a pleasant aroma to your bathroom, consider this inventive hack. I was introduced to this idea by Amandine, a home maintenance expert. Since adopting her method, my shower has never been fresher. Skeptical? Let me tell you how it works!
Infuse your shower with aroma
To transform your bathroom into an aromatic oasis, you’ll need a wooden clothespin and some essential oil. The process couldn’t be simpler:
Choose an essential oil: Choose an essential oil that you like.
Prepare the clothespin: Apply several drops of your chosen oil to the wooden clothespin, making sure it is well soaked.
Place in the shower: Attach the clothespin to the shower head or another part of the shower, but avoid direct contact with the water jet.
While you shower, you will notice a delicious aroma permeating the air. This is an inexpensive yet effective way to enhance your shower experience.

Why wooden clothespins?
Wooden clothespins are great because they absorb and hold the essential oil, acting much like a natural diffuser. Plastic just won’t have the same effect. If your shower head can’t accommodate the clothespin, consider attaching it to the shower curtain, shower screen, soap dish, or even a suction hook.
The science behind perfume
When the essential oil infuses the wooden clothespin, it’s essentially a DIY diffuser. During a hot shower, the steam interacts with the oil-saturated clothespin, releasing the aroma of the essential oil into the air. Even without a shower, the aroma remains but is more subtle. The magic really happens once the hot steam releases the vibrant scents of the essential oil.
Choosing the right essential oils
Essential oils aren’t just chosen for their aroma; they come with individual benefits. Whether you’re in the mood for the calming effect of lavender, the cleansing properties of lemon, or the refreshing sensation of eucalyptus, there’s an essential oil for every mood. Feel free to explore rosemary, pine, mint, tangerine, and more. Every shower can be a new aromatic adventure, and you’ll reap the therapeutic benefits of each oil, too.
You can also opt for fragrance oils if you are looking for a similar aromatic experience.
