Infusing your home with the smell of Christmas is a great way to get everyone into a festive mood.

There are few scents that rival the smell of Christmas.

It’s the heart-warming aroma of orange and spices and mulled wine all wrapped into one that does it for me.

I’ve included ideas for things you can buy and also things you can make yourself to create that magical Christmas aroma in your home.

Take a peak and see which one you will use to get yourself and your family into a Christmas state of mind.

5. MAKE YOUR OWN SCENTED TREE ORNAMENTS

You can make these simple scented Christmas ornaments from clay.

Then use essential oils to scent them and make them smell like Christmas.

They look wonderful hung from a Christmas tree.

Or they look lovely scattered across a Christmas table or hanging from the banisters.

Wherever you choose to place them, these scented Christmas ornaments from One Project Closer will gently scent the air with notes of Christmas.

6. MAKE YOUR OWN SCENTED PINECONES

Pinecones are synonymous with Christmas.

They have a lovely gentle aroma, but sometimes it’s good to give them a little boost.

You can do this buying spritzing them with a little homemade oil and water spritz.

There’s a great tutorial over on Kleinworth & Co. 

The tutorial suggests using cinnamon fragrance, but I also think it would be lovely to use a pine fragrance.

7. SCENTED PINECONE FIRE STARTERS

Now this has to be my absolute favourite idea for making your home smell like Christmas.

Pinecone scented fire starters.

Dried pinecones make excellent fire starters.

If you’re in the U.S click over to Etsy to buy these gorgeous fire starters from Southern Escentuals.

If you’re UK based you should take a look at these gorgeous scented pinecone fire starters by Hunter Gatherer over on Not On The High Street.
