When we think about the holiday season and wintertime, there are specific scents that are always front of mind. Spiced cloves, warm cinnamon, and earthy patchouli evoke comfort and homeliness. I have Diptyque’s ‘feu de bois’ burning most evenings, and let's not forget the invigorating and unmistakable hit of pine that you get from a real Christmas tree.
Pine is by no means the sole festive greenery with a distinctive scent, however. When it comes to choosing scented foliage for Christmas decorations, there are so many more varieties to consider. I’m a trained floral designer, and one of the most important aspects of the job when creating Christmas installations for clients is to select beautiful foliage that will last and adds a subtle scent to your designs. Providing that extra sensory element can really elevate designs to the next level.
