It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.
There are certain memories some of us can relate to every Christmas. Think gingerbread houses that your aunt bakes for the season. Or the jug of eggnog you chug down with cousins at the family Christmas dinner. Or the candy canes you received growing up as a kid (and perhaps you still receive them, we won’t judge).
Whatever fond memory you can jog of the season, there’s almost definitely a scent associated to it. That’s the wonder of Christmas – it’s not just about the decorations that captivate the eyes; the joyful carols that are music to the ears; the hearty dinners that indulge the palate; and the thoughtful gifts that come with warm embraces.
It’s also about the scents that evoke recollections, both old and new, with friends and family, of all the above. And that’s just what we need to complete our Christmas celebrations this 2019.
We’ve compiled a list of scents inspired by our favourite festive traditions, including cinnamon, fig and frankincense. Now it’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.
