These scent beads don't have a very strong aroma. I tried putting the jar in a smaller space and I still can't smell them unless I put my nose to the jar.
The concept is a good one since I prefer something not heated or melted wax in my home with a young child and a big dog! They're just not able to provide any type of odor control at all. I will probably pour them into my vacuum cleaner bag and see if they do a better job there.
