Yep, they are great to burn at home to mask the drain smell 
I have found some good quality Peppermint oil at Emart for around 12K (was on sale). Recently puchased some Rosemary and Lavender from the Face Shop... well priced at 7K, but not the best quality.
Try looking on Ebay for oils... I have found some pretty good deals for postage from some vendors if you buy a few bottles! |

| Gangnam station, above TGI Fridays. One floor up at the top of the escalator there is a little kiosk. They pretty much have everything. |

They cut if with other things & dilute the purity.
You're right when you say it's not so good. |

Have you ever tried boiling cinnamon? Just put a pot on the burner with a little water and powdered cinnamon. I boil it and simmer it for awhile, then I just walk around the apartment with the pot for a bit. The place smells delicious. When you're done you can pour it down said drain.  |

My sink drain smells awful. I've dumped bleach down it which helps a bit, but the problem is that the smell backs up through my drain when people upstairs run water.
I have since gotten a lid that goes over the drain hole....problem solved.  |
