Christmassy Room Scent Recommendations

Can anyone recommend a Christmassy room spray?

I love the smell of Christmas - cinnamon/cloves/spiced oranges/mulled wine - but with two young DS's I can't do scented candles or oil burners without guarding them like a hawk.

Perhaps a little more basic than you were intending, but I swear by Zoflora cinnamon variety. I mop my floors with it, wipe down surfaces with a dilute spray bottle and have even been known to mist my curtains with it.

It's not exactly what you would call a classy smell but it's immediately noticeable and Christmassy when you walk in the door (and doesn't cost a lot)

M&s do the Christmas candles in a few varieties, and I think they might have a 'range' in the same fragrances, so those shape things that sit on little tray/ bowl things (modern version of pot pouri I think?) as you can tell I'm not up on all things modern Grin

Also, have you tried the reed room scenters? Lily flame do a variety of Christmas candles and matching reed scenters, so I'm sure other candle makes probably do the same.

The White Company Winter scent is amazing - they do an oil as well as a diffuser. Honestly try it!

Sainsburys do some nice Christmas scents. I have the Christmas tree room spray and they had a lovely figgy pudding candle and diffuser the other day which I shall be buying in due course. All under £10 too!

I've had the Scentsicles before and they do have some lovely scents- just pop them on a high branch as they're not the best in small hands.

I can't remember what the scent was called, but Waitrose did a lovely one last year. Quite cheap too, iirc.

The White company sell their winter s net in room spray but I bought the oil for just £6 which we will use on some home made potpourri - well some dried orange slices, pine cones etc chucked in a bowl.

I think Sainsbury's Christmas Spice would suit you perfectly. Last year the range included candles, diffusers, pot pourri, room spray and oil refresher. To me, it's Christmas in a bottle.

Second Next's Winter Spice. Got the diffuser last year (it's very pretty as has holly and a cinnamon stick inside) so I'm going to get that again this year with the candle to compliment it

Like PinkSquash I LOVE ScentSicles - had them in Winter Fir Fragrance last year on my real tree - and stuck one in the wreath of my door and it was so Christmasy from the second you got to our front door. I find I forget about candles (or DH moves them!), and the sprays are too artificial for me.
This year planning on popping some in the downstairs loo too - maybe the sweeter fragrance, Snowberry.

Asda has a great one this year, can't remember the name but comes with pot pourri etc!

I have quite a collection of essential oils, I pop a few drops of cinammon, clove ( cheap in wilkinsons), coriander ,Pine, bay, lime, orange oils on a piece of gauze and tuck them behind the radiators. Rooms smell lovely.

If you just want to go for a couple clove, cinammon and orange would be my choice. I think you would get the three for about a tenner and they last ages.

Amphora aromatics are the company I deal with. If oils are your thing and you order £50 you get everything you order at trade prices which is just brilliant.

You could get a couple of friends together and share the cost. You don't have to be a practicing aromatherapist to order. The company is Based in Bristol.
