Christmas is almost with us, and all the evocative scents and aromas that the season brings. However, sometimes, it’s not all pine trees and cinnamon at this time of year. The colder weather means that windows and doors tend to stay firmly shut, and blasting heaters can make the stale air seem overwhelming.
Overheated, stuffy environments in shops and hotels can feel much worse when any lingering bad odours are trapped at this time of year. However, the problem is easy to counteract with a scent air diffuser for retail. Here are some suggestions to recreate the perfect seasonal fragrance, and put everyone in the mood for some gift shopping!
Pine
Nothing is more seasonal than a fresh pine scent, which instantly recalls that moment when you first bring the Christmas tree through the door! From family moments decorating the tree together, to the excitement of your childhood Christmases when you get up early to see what presents have appeared for you, it’s a rich and evocative fragrance.
Cinnamon
The classic Christmas smell, the sweet spiciness of cinnamon is comforting and cosy on dark winter nights. Found in cakes, biscuits, and mulled wine, it’s associated with seasonal treats, and is also a favourite for scented candles and oil burners.
Oranges and cloves
The distinctive scent of the citrussy fruit and the spicy clove is a classic Christmas combination, which makes the perfect room fragrance at this time of year. They are also perfect for getting creative with Christmas tree decorations and garlands.
Open fires
A crackling open fire can be the heart of the home, drawing everyone to it with its warmth and dancing flames. The woody smell of logs and smoke is a perennial favourite which will always be associated with festive cheer.
