Chestnuts roasting on a campfire, freshly chopped fir needles, and warm sugar cookies – it’s easy to see why Christmas smells so good. They awaken the nostalgia and magic of the season and create a festive atmosphere.
Why not brighten up your home this year with Christmas scents? Here are some tips on how to make the most of the wonderful scents of the season.
Start with a clean slate.
We mean this in the literal sense. A sweet-smelling home starts with a clean slate. So don’t decorate rooms until you’ve cleaned them thoroughly. Pay particular attention to the floor, corners, under and behind large pieces of furniture, and any cobwebs.
It’s also a good idea to do seasonal tasks at this time of year. Change air filters, clean vents, and wipe the dust off ceiling fan blades. Find step-by-step instructions for a thorough cleaning here.
Identifying Mysterious Odors
An unidentified container of leftover food in the refrigerator? A pail of disposable diapers? Sweaty baby socks under the bed? Or the dreaded sippy cup left unattended for a week? It’s time to find the source of that strange, lingering smell. Get the family involved and start looking. We don’t want anything bad to disrupt the winter wonderland we want to create.

Here’s how your home smells like Christmas
There are many ways to bring the scent of Christmas into your home.
Add the scent of fresh herbs.
If you’re part of the Real-Christmas-Tree team, you’ve already learned firsthand how nice it is to smell the fall leaves of the season. But don’t worry artificial Christmas tree team! There is another way. A beautiful evergreen garland on the mantel is both charming and fragrant. Add a few branches to gift wrapping or use cedar branches to create a sheer centerpiece for a fancy dinner party. Your friends and family will love the wintry look (and smell!). will love it.
Use a blend of essential oils
Frankincense, orange, cinnamon, pine, clove, mint… The possibilities with essential oils are endless. Prepare the “perfect blend” and turn on the diffuser. Remember to use essential oils sparingly, as they have a long shelf life. We love this natural and simple way to bring a touch of Christmas into your home.
Try a seasonal sachet
If you like to craft, you can also make simple sachets. These little mixed bags don’t just have to sit in a drawer. They can liven up any boring space – kitchen, car, trash can, or gym bag. We hope you get the idea. The bags are also great for making gifts or filling socks.
Make a potpourri in a saucepan
Put the ingredients in a pot, add a little water, put it on the fire and you have a warm house with Christmas colors. A potpourri is a great way to enjoy the flavors of the season. Take a look at this recipe. If we had to describe Christmas with one flavor, it would definitely be this one.
Pour the ingredients into a jar, add a gift tag and present it in a cheerful, fragrant home.
