Sainsbury’s Under the Mistletoe oil smells exactly like Xmas trees. Candles not so much. Bought a small dropper to add to some reed diffuser medium to see if it makes the house smell of trees so I don’t have to get a real one. It is the first year for a very long time that I am getting a tree of any sort. I would rather go fake but it is the smell that I want so if the oil does the trick then I will be happy. Any other recommendations for tree scents much appreciated.

You get these scent sticks in garden centres but also seen them on Amazon. They’re supposed to be very good but I haven’t tried them. I might try the spiced cinnamon one.

Don't bother. They smell horrible. The pine ones smell like toilet cleaner.

Really? They have so many good reviews aswell. I’ll stick to my diffusers and candles. BTW I was very impressed with the air wick pumpkin spice and glade pumpkin candle. Not my usual but they were half price in Tesco and decided to give them a try so going to try their Christmas version. Definitely a much stronger smell than M&S and Sainsbury’s.

I was tempted by the advent calendar but resisted as I've already so many of their Christmas melts to use up. Maybe next year!

I bought two Christmas scents yesterday from an M and S outlet shop. A frankincense and myrrh room spray and a mandarin, clove and cinnamon oil for my diffuser for a bargain total of £5.20. I need to get some pot pourri at some point too. I love it when the house smells like Christmas.

I have a few festive scents left from a old calendar so thought this was the best way to get a variety. Though i'm sure i'll find some I love and then wish I had full size

They usually do a sale after Christmas, I think it was June time and they sold their 2024 Christmas selection box for £20, there were 20 full size melts so only £1 per bar!

Are any of you listening to xmas songs lately? Or xmas/winter ambience? I've been scrolling YouTube over the last couple evenings looking for winter/xmas ambience.

The M&S mandarin, clove and cinnamon has been my absolute favourite for years. The diffuser and the candle. I had them in every room. I was so disappointed last year, just didn’t get a smell off them at all.
