It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas

Alba Avram Mayıs 10, 2022

For every time of year, the smells are among my favorite things. That's especially true at Christmastime. You know the smell I mean, don't you? Evergreen and orange and cinnamon and clove all mingled into one wonderful fragrance.

Well, if you want a little more of that fragrance in your house, there's a company I can recommend to you: Aromatique. Headquartered in Heber Springs, Arkansas (my husband's home state!), Aromatique creates some of the most beautiful fragranced products you'll find anywhere. You can go to www.aromatique.com to read all about it, or you can just take my word for it and look for these products:

Refresher oils. Inside the boxes are these cute little hard-for-me-to-photograph bottles:

Not much in volume--just .5 fluid ounce per bottle--but so much fragrance! "Smell of the Tree" smells just like--well, you know. The tree. Honestly. I've tried lots of fragrances, but this one tops the list in my book. It smells just like a fresh-cut Christmas tree. Now, I know a lot of you have artificial trees. . . but don't you wish those boughs smelled like a real tree? Now they can. Drop some of this refresher oil onto a few branches.

And then, my favorite: "The Smell of Christmas." Mmmmm. Just exactly the way you want Christmas to smell. Put a few drops of this oil in water and simmer on the stovetop. You'll soon have the fragrance of Christmas wafting through the house. (Just be careful not to spill any near an open flame!) Or rub some oil onto cinnamon sticks, tie a bundle with a jaunty bow, and look:

Such a cute little decoration for a bookshelf or desktop. Maybe a fun treat for a teacher's desk.

Or use short cinnamon sticks, rub some oil onto them, and tie up into a cute little woodland ornament for the Christmas tree.

The folks at Aromatique have never heard of me, so I'm certainly not getting anything to promote this product. But I think you'll love it. And a little $9 bottle of oil goes a long way, so it's an affordable indulgence.

What's your favorite Christmas smell?
