Top scents for Christmas

This content was originally posted in 7DAYS UAE website at: Top scents for Christmas The power of scent is well- documented – it can turn back time and transport us to other worlds in a nanosecond, which makes home fragrances perfect for the festive season, to help capture our nostalgia for traditions and our merry mood. The season, of course, has its characteristic scents, from fir trees to cinnamon spice – and just a hint of those conjured by the magic of a room spray, candle or diffuser, can evoke the warm, welcoming spirit of holiday time. Choose super scents for every seasonal occasion, whether to soothe stress as you battle with the preparations, conjure up festive atmosphere or simply ramp up the party spirit… STRESS SOOTHERS For all its charm, the pressures of Christmas preparation can leave us feeling frazzled rather than festive – so call for the scent soothers. Running a hot bath, dimming the lights and lying back to soak up the scent of a Jo Malone Vanilla and Anise candle (MOE and Mirdif City Centre) for example, can help you wind down. Or relax and write your Christmas cards while enjoying The White Company Winter scent (Dubai Mall and MOE), which blends notes of sweet cinnamon and clove with a dash of fresh orange, for a traditional aroma. PARTY SPARKLE Before you pop a cork, instantly conjure a party atmosphere with Voluspa’s Crisp Champagne candle (desertcart.ae), which combines the aromas of sparkling and vanilla. Or enhance a gourmet feast with Diptyque’s Liquidambar (Dubai Mall), which is spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, then blended with muscovado sugar for a sweet aroma. WICK AND WISDOM Keep a candle on a flat surface and not near draughts, which can cause flickering and uneven burn. Make sure you burn a candle long enough so the wax fully pools across the surface, but no longer than four hours at a time.   Read the original story at: Top scents for Christmas
