Faux Christmas trees have come a long way since the foil trees of the 60s. Now you find something that looks realistic, impressive and utterly festive year after year. Plus it has made decorating for Christmas so much easier. No more vacuuming up needles every other day and wresting with the tangled mess of Christmas lights, not to mention the whole fire hazard situation. Now when you invest in a nice, pre-lit tree that will last several years, you can plug it in, add your decorations and you’re good to go! However, fake Christmas trees lack one crucial detail… the unmistakable fresh pine aroma.
But don’t despair, you can recreate that magical aroma with essential oils! Plus many of the firs and pines also help ease congestion and breathing when you get a winter cold and give an emotional boost during those winter blues. It’s a win-win!
Start with a Room Spray
The scent of a fresh Christmas tree has never been easier to achieve! Our Christmas Tree Room Spray effortlessly fills your room with the scent of a freshly cut tree. Whether you spray it in the air or spritz it directly on your fake Christmas tree, you can enjoy the burst of holiday freshness whenever you need it.
Plus, you can pair the Christmas Tree Room Spray with our Christmas Tree Multi-Surface Cleaner.
Diffuse Christmas Tree
You can create your own blend of coniferous oils or just reach for Christmas Tree blend! It combines Fir Needle and Black Spruce to effortlessly recreate the smell of a fresh tree. Use an intermittent setting on your diffuser to get the most out of your blend.
Clay & Felt Ornaments
Another simple way to recreate the fresh tree scent is to go to the source. You can use your artificial tree for passive diffusion by making clay or felt ornaments. Plus it can be a fun craft session with the whole family! To make clay ornaments, all you need is some air hardening clay, cookie cutters, and ribbon. Cut or mold the clay into your desired shape and allow it to dry completely. Once they’re on your tree, you can add a few drops of essential oils and refresh when you notice the scent has dissipated.
DIYs For the Win
And of course, DIYs are a festive way to add the Christmas Tree scent around your home. Just substitute the Christmas Tree blend in these Gelatin Air Fresheners or Holiday Scented Sachets!
