  • Try the yankee candle range, lots of christmassy ones - they have a pine candle, silver bells is also good

    Have you tried anything from the Yankee Candle Range? I have their 'Christmas Eve' and it's fabulous.

    They do a Christmas Tree Wax Tart - http://www.yankee.co.uk/yankee-candles/3607/christmas_tree_br_wax_tart.aspx - that might be worthwhile looking for.

    Try local supermarkets that stock Yankee Candles or your local garden centre.

    I find that they last so well, they can be melted a few times before they lose their fragrance - can also be broken up and mixed with another 'christmassy fragrance'.


    .............. oops looks like we cross-posted with the same brilliant idea :T.

    I think that you can get a can of christmas tree smell for your fake tree, just spray on.
  • I have a pine essential oil (for aromatherapy and very cheap) which I open and tuck away behind the tree. Can't get much more authentic than that :D
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    Thanks i didn't think of that....just bought some for under £2 delivered on Ebay and still might source some Yankee candles if the right price.

    I smelled the 'Christmas Tree' Yankee candle the other day in the shop, and it didn't smell anything remotely like a tree. I can only assume it smells totally different when lit!

    I think I'm just going to buy a wreath made from real pine and have it on the coffee table or something, instead of searching for a decent candle/room spray.
