How to make your house smell like Christmas with essential oils?
Drop a blend of warm, calming essential oils—like frankincense, orange, rosemary, or pine—into your humidifier in the evenings for an infusion of holiday scents in the air.
What spices can I boil to make my house smell like Christmas?
Cinnamon Sticks. They're a classic potpourri spice for good reason — a few sticks in a simmering pot of water will make your house smell like you've got cinnamon rolls baking.
1. Balsam Fir. The Balsam fir is the most fragrant of the trees, making it the most popular Christmas tree variety. They're durable and have short, flat, dark green needles.
How do I keep my house smelling good in the winter?
Take the time to dust and vacuum floors, furniture and curtains at least every other week so you can remove any dirt or soil that has built up. In addition, make sure you keep any fireplaces clean and swept when they're not in use.
It's all thanks to a clever gizmo known as an HVAC scent diffuser. These are ultra-quiet attachments to heating/air conditioning systems that use high amounts of air pressure to deliver nanoparticles of scented oils uniformly around a room, area, or building.
Add about 25 drops of your favorite essential oil to 2 tablespoons of baking soda and stir to combine. Lemon and lavender are great choices, but eucalyptus is my favorite because of the refreshing scent. Pour the baking soda and essential oil mix into the water and stir. Then funnel the water into your spray bottle.
Add essential oils to your spray bottle, fill halfway with witch hazel or vodka and top the other half with distilled water. Shake well, label, gift, spritz and enjoy!
Long associated with Christmas tradition, rosemary almost lost its place in the holiday pantheon at the beginning of the last century. It has since rebounded in recent years. It fills the air in your home with a fragrant scent, adds flavour to holiday dishes and even comes disguised as a tree!
To remedy any unwanted odors, turn to your spice drawer. Simply boil a few cinnamon sticks for two minutes and then turn the heat to low and let the warm, spiced scent waft through your home; turn the heat off once the pleasant smells take over. It's a stupid-simple trick that works wonders.
Why doesn't my Christmas tree smell like anything?
One of the main reasons a Christmas tree doesn't have that pine smell is because it needs more water. Typically, an unhealthy or underwatered pine tree will lose its scent and needles. On top of that, if you cut down your Christmas tree a while ago, this could also be why it doesn't smell as fragrant.
Is there a candle that smells like a Christmas tree?
Frasier Fir is a long time favorite here at Candle Junkies, and truly is one of the best candles that match the scent of freshly cut Christmas trees. For the 2022 winter season you can find a ton of different variations on this candle. There are plenty of different sizes and looks for this scent in particular.
Christmas sprays and picks are decorative stems that add height, texture, color, and act as filler in your designs. These might be comprised of glitter stems, berries, foliage, greenery etc.
Pour 25 to 30 drops of essential oil in your bottle. Fill the bottle halfway with witch hazel. (Note: Witch hazel helps the oil and water combine and will help the scent linger for a longer period of time.) Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water.
