Christmas scents are just as important in setting a cheery atmosphere as your trees, garlands, and baubles. A time of celebration, food, and nostalgia, the festivities wouldn't be complete without distinct fragrances that remind you of past gatherings. This year, fill the air with seasonal scents that help you create new and lasting memories.
TYPES OF CHRISTMAS SCENTS
GOURMET
Gourmet scents, also called gourmand, feature synthetic edible notes such as honey, vanilla, or coffee. They can be a combination of sweet, spicy, and smoky notes to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Here are some examples of Christmas gourmet scents:
- CINNAMON - From cinnamon-coated snickerdoodles to cinnamon-infused drinks, this spicy scent will bring back fond memories of home. Its natural warmth also makes it perfect for making your space cosier.
- Hot Chocolate - If you want to make gatherings sweeter, opt for the aroma of hot cocoa. Add hints of peppermint and eggnog if you want to create a more specific smell.
- Gingerbread - The smell of gingerbread always brings a smile to everyone's faces. Its scent can also help you get over any seasonal slump with its sweet, buttery, and spicy tones.
- Roast Chestnuts - Rich and toasty with a touch of smokiness, the Christmas smell of chestnuts roasting is unforgettable. Often sold on side streets, this reminds people of the rush and crisp, cold air of the season.
- Oranges and Cloves - This combination of citrus and spice gives depth to any display. With its intoxicating scent, oranges and cloves liven up any room even on the coldest winter nights.
FLORALS
From decorative foliage to potpourri, flowers bring a freshness that perfectly contrasts the cold months of winter. Here are a few floral scents used during Christmas:
