How to get Christmas Tree smell w/out real tree!

Are there any air fresheners out there that smell like a Christmas tree and aren't too chemically? We're going to get an artificial tree for the first time this year, and I want to trick my brain into thinking it's a real tree. Thanks :)

Place marking as would like to know this too, had an artificial for years now and do miss that smell when you walk in first thing in the morning.

Scentsicalls aren't too bad. I think that's what they are called! Or maybe a yankee candle in the corner?

Sorry, Scentsicles

If you get those Christmas Magic stores popping up in your local shopping centre , they had some scented sticks that you tuck into the branches. IIRC green/pine or red/spice.

Or a Yankee candle? There will be a pine-y one (I cannot abide the smell of pine myself so I don't sniff green candles Xmas Grin )

White Company do a lovely fir candle.

Another vote for Scentsicles! I've even had them in real trees before!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 28/10/2018 21:08

That;s what they are - Scentsicles.
I went off onto the Lakeland website (they used to sell them) but I got distracted by marzipan Xmas Grin

I use this. They also sell devices for diffusing the oils slowly.

Yankee Candle do The Perfect Tree scent, example below:

Home bargains do a Christmas tree scented candle. Smelt very pleasent in the shop. I have their ginger bread one which is divine!! Just as good as a Yankee.

I’m pretty sure last year in wilko they had tree-smell-in-a-can. I guess like air freshener spray

White Company do an oil version of their fur tree fragrance, smells amazing

Fir tree not fur lol

TheCraicDealer · 28/10/2018 21:32

White Company Fir Tree diffuser- hands down the best bang for your buck scent-wise. DH and I were discussing it earlier today after trying this year's effort which was double the price and crap in comparison 

dementedma · 28/10/2018 21:52

IKEA have pine scented tea lights which smell just like Christmas trees. Bought some today and they really do smell just like the real thing.

Sabulous · 28/10/2018 22:05

Thanks all, much appreciated :)

I purchased some hanging scented sticks to put on the tree this year. You can get them from eBay and Amazon.

rosewater09 · 29/10/2018 00:14

I agree with the White Company fur tree fragrance, smells like fresh pine and is one of my favourite home fragrances.

Teddy1970 · 29/10/2018 00:26

The BEST EVER Christmas tree scent is Crabtree & Evelyn Windsor Forest, it is stunningly gorgeous and the room spray lingers for hours afterwards, I am a Christmas scent superman and I've tried them all, for me The White Company fir scent smells of pine toilet duck and Yankee candle scents don't last, if you want to be transported to a snowy forest then Windsor Forest is the one!

Teddy1970 · 29/10/2018 00:29

Superman? Superfan!

Alanamackree · 29/10/2018 06:31

I have an artificial tree but I add some fresh clippings to the garlands on the mantelpiece and the stairs. Would that be an option at all?

NecklessMumster · 29/10/2018 09:50

National Trust shops have a Blue Fir and frosted pine range that smells lovely too.

Cutesbabasmummy · 29/10/2018 09:55

It's not Christmas without Crabtree and Evelyn's Noel fragrance in our house. Absolutely gorgeous - smells of pine trees and oranges and - just lovely!

Teddy1970 · 29/10/2018 11:35

Spot on cutesbabasmummy Crabtree & Evelyn know how to do Christmas scents! Noel is beautiful too.

mendandmakedo · 29/10/2018 19:29

So between Noel and windsor forest which is the most christmassy? Or nicest? I have had scenticles for past year or 2 they are quite nice and I got them from B and M bargains. But i fancy something different this year. They also have free gift if you spend 25 pounds at crabtree and Evelyn.
