Depends on how much money you want to spend. People here giving pointers on cleaning sources of smells and I second that, but to answer your question, three things work for me to actually make my home smell like something in particular:
1- Essential oil diffuser. IMO the most effective, the downside is that not all essential oils are as fancy as, say, the fragrances of the other options in this list. Also you have a bit of an investment upfront, diffuser+oils. But they last reasonably long.
2- Reed diffusers: vast variety of prices here, the pricier ones are nicer and last longer. The downside is that the scent will lose effectiveness with time. Usually I can’t smell the oil once it’s reaching a quarter left unless I pick a reed and smell the oily end. YMMV depending on how large and how ventilated the area is.
3- Scented candles: again, you get what you pay for. Honestly it’s usually the big very expensive ones the only ones that really work. Also, fire, so that’s a potential hazard if you have pets/kids. IMO they can work if they’re good, but they don’t last as long, meaning, more expensive.

So yes I hope this helps. Good luck
Feel like reed based lasts longer as it’s applied during a longer duration.
The smell from diffusors is mostly gone as soon as the oil is used up.
