Depending on your taste, cut the lemons either slices or wedges. Stronger smell results from greater surface area exposed.
Push the cloves into the lemon slices so that they are equally spaced. Salt should also be added. Apart from their strong, fiery scent, the cloves assist in somewhat preservation of the lemons. Over the lemons, scatter salt to help draw out moisture and accentuate the scent.
Arange the lemon slices on a little decorative dish or in a bowl. Anyplace your house might benefit from a freshness boost—your living room, bathroom, or kitchen—you could set them there.
Maintenance: To awaken the smells, gently toss or shake the lemon slices every day. Just toss a few new slices into the mix if the lemons begin to lose their power.
