Scent is one of our most important senses at Christmas. There are so many nostalgic aromas to bring back fond memories; the smoky crackling fire, mulled wine, and the roast turkey fresh out of the oven. All are pivotal scents to our holiday experience, but how do people get their homes to smell like Christmas leading up to the big day, and what are the specific notes we should look for when searching for a festive home fragrance?

As we spend more time inside we become more preoccupied with how to make our home smell good. Some people's homes just smell like the embodiment of Christmas without feeling like you have been hit in the face with a cinnamon stick, and that subtle season scent is exactly what we're hoping to achieve. To find out how, we spoke to some scent experts to discover the perfect Christmas home fragrance, what to combine for the ultimate scent experience, and how to get the most out of your chosen products.
