Nice steam iron smell?

Hi

I don't actually use the steam element of my iron that often as I don't let the clothes that dry. However as last weekend was a bit on the warm side, they got drier than I wanted so the ironing was not as crisp as I would usually have it:(

As I don't really want to buy anything special for it, what can I add to water so that the clothes smell nice?
A smile costs little but creates much :)

    I use the water out of the condenser in the TD which has a slight scent, otherwise just plain water, the steam freshens the fabric up if you have used scented soap powder/softener.

    If I want my clothes smelling really nice I buy a pack of tumble dryer sheets , and put a sheet on top of the item & iron them both ( if that makes any sense )

    It leaves a lovely long lasting fragrance :)
