Making a room smell nice!

Ok, there is a really cold room in our house which always smells a bit musty unless you open the windows, but when you do, it's freezing! It's not a strong smell, but I was wondering how to make the room smell nice when a friend of mine comes to stay in a few weeks. She gets hayfever, so flowers aren't the best idea!

Random, I know!

I was thinking room deodeurisers (sp) too :p:

One of those Glade plug in things may do the trick, but if it's a cold room anyway, it may not work so well. My room has three external walls and was always cold until we had the roof and walls insulated, warming it was very difficult and it always smelt... not bad, just sort of bricky. Is that the sort of smell? (If that word makes any sense at all)
Not bricky, just musty because it's too cold to open the window and let fresh air in.

It makes it smell worse. I really hate the smell of hash even more than the smell of pot. Homegrown is worse than imported, but English weed smells better than Polish weed.

Hmmm, bit of a gamble, it'll smell nice at first, but then after its cooked, it wont smell that great anymore.

In my opinion - the steaks are too high.
