Cinnamon and vanilla not only taste good to many people, but the scent of cinnamon or vanilla can invoke a warm, comforting feeling. Making your home smell like cinnamon or vanilla is not difficult or expensive. You don't have to resort to chemical deodorizers to make your home have a pleasant, inviting odor, and you don't have to bake pies or make any other dishes to fill your home with a cinnamon or vanilla scent.

Step 2
Turn the burner off after the water has reached a rolling boil. The heat releases the cinnamon stick's fragrance, which will waft through the house.
Step 3
Re-heat the water when the fragrance dissipates. You can do this several times to keep the cinnamon fragrance strong in the home.
