When I first started moving in, it smelled like old people and mustiness. Apparently, they hadn't opened the windows in years, and just ran AC in summer and heat in winter. I actually got the windows working again, but replaced just to let in fresh air.
The mustiness sometimes pervades because I'm still ripping out the old wood making up the basement rec room, and really need to yank out the remaining gosh awful carpeting. Other than that, it probably smells like I have a cat and a dog. Sometimes I put a few drops of essential oils on the furnace filter or burn a candle if I go too long without having the windows open (like all winter).
